AAG has helped many clients establish an Analytics & Big Data Center of Excellence (CoE) in the past.

The reasons for having a CoE include:

• Build strong analytical capabilities and competencies
• Work closely with business and IT teams to identify business areas where analytics can help drive efficiencies, cost optimization and productivity gains
• Develop & Deliver analytical models
• Deploy analytical models in production after successful testing and value creation
• Continue to monitor the model performance and identify other business areas where analytics can help

Some of the considerations include:

• Governance & Executive Sponsorship
• Requirements/Business Needs
• Clear identification of solution areas/use cases (Map to Needs)
• Analytical Techniques & Methods (Map to Use Cases)
• Types of Data & Access
• Methodology
• Infrastructure Support
• Data Prerequisites
