DRIVING YOUR BUSINESS WITH DATA 1 Data
Big Data is massive. And it s growing: by 2020, the amount of digital information in existence is expected to have exploded from 3.2 zettabytes in 2014 to 40 zettabytes 1 (yes, that s 40 billion gigabytes). This growth in data presents businesses with huge opportunity, yet most companies analyse only 12% of their data 2 and less than one-fourth have an enterprise-wide data strategy 3. Meanwhile, customer expectations are evolving. Advancements in technology and retailing have conditioned customers to assume quick and seamless interactions, relevant media and instant gratification at every touch point. Delivering on these demands requires strong data capability. Conversely, many retailers under-invest in exploiting their data, exposing themselves to serious competitive risks from new business. More than ever, the effective, nimble and continuously evolving use of data is critical to building competitive advantage. dunnhumby has been working with Big Data for more than 25 years well before the term was invented and has a wealth of expertise and experience in the design and implementation of Big Data strategies, as well as unparalleled and exclusive access to data for 280m households in over 23 key retail markets globally. By assessing your existing data capability and understanding your business vision and goals, we provide expert advice and guidance on how best to exploit the data you have, increase your understanding of your customers and drive incremental, measurable value to your business. We partner with retailers and brands like you to help: Know your own data and join it up so that all data leads to a customer Bring you new data through dunnhumby innovations and investment frameworks Realise the commercial value of your data Create competitive advantage regardless of where data is hosted (on-site, off-site, in the cloud) or technology used 1 Hadoop Summit 2014 2 Forrester Research 3 IDC poll, 2012 2 Data

OUR APPROACH To help make the most of your data, dunnhumby experts have developed a comprehensive, proven nine-step approach. Whilst a full engagement would take advantage of this approach from start to finish, each step may also be implemented in your business discretely, as needed. 1 Understand We start by understanding, documenting and describing all of your data assets. 2 Assess We assess the quality of each discrete data asset and score it against known best practise. 3 Process We analyse the process by which data comes into your organisation and how it flows out. 4 Analyse We identify and analyse where data should be joined to increase the overall value of your data asset. 5 Create We ETL your data into a common standard model, which organises and joins the data entirely around your customers. 6 QA We provide continuous quality review of all of your data assets. 7 Enrich We continually add value to your data by creating and updating customer segmentations and dimensions. 8 Publish We surface the enhanced data for use in your data, analysis and targeting tools, as well as those provided by dunnhumby. 9 Augment Through our knowledge of the industry, we advise on and implement merges of owned data into or with third-parties to further augment the value of your data. 5 Data
