The Imperative for Advanced Analytics Marketers have a lot to worry about to maintain relevant data, create and grow profitable customers, and be more efficient with existing budget. Forrester has recently said: Vendors need to create more analytic solutions that customers can use out of the box such as business-user-oriented interfaces. We Agree, BUT ALSO Let s use the opportunity to make data scientists and modelers more efficient as well! 10
Classic Approach Iterate Often re-code in different system for implementation Data Prep and Manipulation Implement Design Approach and Algorithm Coding Iterate Write code for performance metrics and charting Test and Validate Iterate through multiple algorithms Iterate Iterate through multiple data cleaning approaches Debug and re-run 11
Today s Approach Design model using business language Simply presented options for the advanced user Automated and intelligent data preprocessing Iterative processing of multiple algorithms and settings Handle computational workload Pre-computed performance metrics Automated charts and comparisons Built-in model management Automated scoring process without coding 12
What about the data scientists? Like Me! It s time to focus our attention on design and analysis instead of hacking, debugging, and iterating. - Without losing the computation power and modeling flexibility we require 13

Case Study Large Non-Profit Organization Affinity / Cross-Sell Models Client outsourced building of over two dozen affinity models to vendor using classic tools and manual process (3-4 month effort). Rebuilt all models using LityxIQ in 2 weeks, and model results (such as lift) were 5% better than manually built models. Expanded to a series of 40 models, all managed within LityxIQ. 17
