Introduction
In the lead-up to the elections in the USA, President Obama used
Business Analytics to prepare a successful campaign theme. Closer home,
Mr. Modi ‘s campaign team used Business Analytics to prepare another
successful campaign . Credit card companies across the world are using
Business Analytics to find the most reliable (Credit - worthiness)
customer to lend to whereas banks & insurance companies are using it to
find out the possibility of cross-sell or up sell.
Business Analytics and its related terms such as Business Intelligence, Big
Data, Data Mining, etc. has become a powerful tool for companies.
According to the Harvard Review, “Data Scientist is the sexiest job of 21st
Century”. Gartner, a global research firm, predicts that by 2015 nearly
4.4 million new jobs will be created globally by Business Analytics.

What is Business Analytics
Business Analytics is the process of converting data into insights. It is “the
extensive use of data, statistical and quantitative analysis, explanatory and
predictive models, and fact-based management to drive decisions and
actions.” With the increase in the availability of data, Analytics has now
become a major differentiator in both the top line and the bottom line of
any organization. It is hence not surprising that research has shown that
data-driven companies perform 5%-6% better per annum.
One of the primary users of Business Analytics is the Financial Sector.
Models that predict credit quality, fraudulent credit card transactions and
cross-sell / up-sell possibility are very common in banks, insurance
companies, credit rating organizations, etc.
