‘Do You Know’- Augmented Analytics Demystified

The Business Analytics is not only about creating and serving insights but also providing the description of the insights and packaging them at the right time. Also serving them to the right set of business users by evaluating their personas when it is needed.
Augmented analytics or augmented data discovery is the process of applying machine learning to train models to come up with insights that matter most to businesses. By finding insights based on the interests of users, augmented analytics generates natural language. Thereby, describing the insights in the simplest form and serves them to the right point of contact.

Why is it so important?

Data in its original form is worthless to a business if it is not utilized by the right mindset and techniques. The stamina of your business remains inside the muscle,called data. And this needs to be regularly exercised, for it to reach its fullest potential.
For example, your sales are dipping by 7.5 % and there may be so many factors that are impacting it adversely. In this current scenario, your team of a data scientist can actually try to drill down using tools and algorithms to come up with insights to determine why your sales are dropping. But what if you had augmented this work to a BOT engine which could serve you the insights way before your sales even started to drop (i.e. Out of Stock Inventory from retail domain).
Augmenting your analytics to a set of programs that can evaluate millions of data points in a shorter amount of time and keep you updated on what you must know provides a proactive approach your human friend may not be able to give you.

Your existing BI tool may not be able to give you augmented capabilities because of its conventional design and architecture. Augmented analytics requires a platform that is designed to address the specific needs of augmented analytics and not just dashboards.
