What’s Common Among All of Them?

They are Exposed to Relevant and Contextual data

How has this been made possible ?

They are Connected to a “System” that’s Driven by Analytics

What Does this Mean?

Analytics is part and parcel of your Life

Analytics is part and parcel of your Business

Is this Aligned with what Analysts say?

2018: 50% of large organizations will compete using Advanced Analytics

causing disruption in entire industries- - Gartner

2021: Insight Driven Businesses will earn $1.8 trillion - Forrester

The Big Data Tech Market will grow 3 times more than Overall Tech Market

- Forrester

How is this relevant to YOU ?

Your Business Provides such ‘Systems’ which are Driven by

Analytics

What are the Prerequisites to do so?

Your Business should have a State-of-the-art Analytics

Component

1

This Analytics Component Should be Easy to Integrate and be

Interoperable

2

• Key expectations from an analytics platform• Meeting those expectations with WSO2

technology• Interoperability in real-world use cases

Discussion Outline

Identifying Your Expectations

• To make better decisions– Operational and business monitoring

• Effectively communicate information– Visualization – Alerting mechanisms

• Offer new value propositions– Insight driven products and services

Business Perspective

• Non-intrusive integration– Pull data from heterogeneous data sources and

analyze– Push results to existing flows with no

interruptions

• Intrusive integration– Receive input from multiple flows, systems and

sources of data– Push results to existing flows and systems

Solution Perspective

• Interoperability in receiving data to analyze– Multiple protocols and formats– Pre-process before analyzing

• Interoperability in communicating results– Multiple protocols and formats

• Interoperability in data analysis– Integration with existing metadata and models– Extend with new analysis capabilities

Product Perspective

Meeting Those Expectations

Steps of an Analytics SolutionThe Typical Components

- Define data model- Specify Schema- Pick a protocol- Transform as needed- Ingest events

Analyze Data

- Select type of analysis needed

- Configure relevant analytics components

- Analyze received Events

- Define result schema definition

- Pick communication mode

- Communicate Results

Collect Data Communicate Results
