Although the use of big data has been around for years, businesses still do not use it to their full advantage. Despite past reports (http://nnw.fm/Cw1XS) predicting big data to be a key basis for competition, productivity growth, innovation, and consumer surplus, an article by the Harvard Business Review (http://nnw.fm/dY2E4) showcases the fact that most industries aren’t using their analytics to their full potential.
For the first time ever, business analytics is expected to drive business growth rather than just reflect performance. The problem is that businesses, in addition to often falling behind and not collecting the required data to get ahead of the competition, often do not understand the need to turn their data into real value for their operations. This shift toward turning data into value requires an overall change in strategy.
Integrating big data into a company’s business strategy is complex, and, because many organizations still do not understand the full potential of it, mistakes are often made. It is important to avoid misunderstanding or making assumptions regarding the data collected. Businesses must also know the type of data needed, pay attention to security, and understand the multiple levels of integration required.
Not all businesses are able to invest the resources needed to transform big data into value, which is where companies such as Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) come in. NETE is a global technology-driven group that specializes in value-added transactional services and mobile payments. Through its online business analytics dashboard, Unified Payments Insights, NETE gives merchants a 360-degree view of their business.
The module focuses on big data, giving merchants the chance to compare current revenue, social media activity, and online reputation to not only their past performance but also other, similar businesses. The platform allows businesses to see what customers are saying about them on websites such as Yelp and TripAdvisor, manage customers from acquisition to retention, monitor the competition with alerts and feedback, manage social media activity, and analyze business performance.
