Business analytics is a simple idea with complex ramifications - leverage the wealth of data being collected today to create powerful new ways to perform and compete. Business analytics involves using sophisticated technology to bring information together and sophisticated algorithms to filter and analyze that information. The outputs can include deep understanding of the workings of the business and its connections to the marketplace, key performance indicators to drive business decisions, dramatic improvements in the performance of the most critical business processes, and insights and innovations that can change the basis of competition. Leading corporations - Capital One, Progressive Insurance, Harrah's Entertainment, Marriott International, Procter & Gamble, UPS - are not just applying business analytics; they're competing on the basis of their superior ability to gather, analyze, and act upon information.
