Data analytics solutions are enabling organisations to transform at an accelerated pace by providing them with data-driven insights into how they’re performing, where they need to allocate extra resource, and what they need to action to improve.

Phoenix works with organisations to support them with taking their raw data and turning it into actionable insights. We can support you with the development of your data analytics platform’s foundations and design, as well as the build and support of the platform’s development, while ensuring that the solution is both licenced and built as efficiently as possible.

The role of data analytics

Data analytics is the process of examining large datasets to uncover hidden patterns, correlations, and other valuable insights. The primary objective of data analytics is to aid decision-making, optimise processes, and drive organisational growth. By leveraging various techniques and tools, organisations can extract actionable insights from their data, enabling them to make informed decisions and gain a competitive edge in the market.

 

The four types of data analytics

Data analytics can be broadly categorised into four main types, each serving a specific purpose in extracting insights from data:

Reporting and analytics icon

Descriptive analytics:

answers the question of ‘What happened?’ and focuses on summarising historical data to provide insights into past performances and trends.

ERP capabilities icon

Diagnostic analytics:

digs deeper into your data to understand why certain events occurred and answers the question, ‘Why did this happen?’.

predictive analysis icon

Predictive analytics:

looks to predict future outcomes based on historical data and answers the question, ‘What might happen in the future?’.

Prescriptive analytics:

takes predictive analysis to the next step and recommends courses of action to achieve desired outcomes. This’ll answer the question of ‘What should we do next?’.

Combining data analytics and artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence is implementing itself in various aspects of organisations, including within data analytics. Using data analytics and artificial intelligence together will speed up the generation of actionable insights by automating processes, from analysing the raw data initially, right through to providing actionable next steps.

AI-driven analytics can find data patterns and trends amongst large subsets of data at an accelerated rate, enabling you to implement data-driven decisions quicker. Adding AI into your data analytics solutions will also improve your team’s productivity by giving time back to them to focus on tasks that require human creativity.
