Statistical Tracking and Assessment of Revenue (STAR) provides future revenue assessment and forecasting to help drive better performance STAR Methodology Business Challenge Existing bottom-up revenue assessment processes were labor intensive and inconsistent across business units Methodology was not consistent from quarter to quarter, which introduced bias and a lack of transparency Lack of analytical rigor in current and next quarter revenue affects availability, accuracy and volatility of projections Limited ability to track projected performance gaps down to discrete, addressable problems Analytical Solution STAR employs a statistical model based on current and historical data that maximizes information utilization and minimizes subjectivity Each input data stream feeds into a variety of weighted sub-models, which together create an ensemble model Ensemble modeling can accommodate multiple additional data sources and algorithms Projects are connected to addressable parameters of the business Historical Revenue Sub-model Sub-model 1C 1B Sub-model 1A Pipeline Data Sub-model Sub-model 1C 1B Sub-model 2A Quarterly Revenue Projection Orders, other data Sub-model Sub-model 1C 1B Sub-model 3A X X X Weighting Sub-model 1C 1B Factor Weighting Sub-model 1C 1B Factor Ensemble Model Weighting Sub-model 1C 1B Factor Increased Accuracy of Revenue Projections across Different Business Units Average % Error over Eight Quarters Accommodates a variety of data sources Sub-models capture different views of a data stream Sub-models dynamically weighted within and across data streams Outliner detection at data/sub-model/model level Assessment update frequency is aligned with that of the most frequently updated data source 12.8 10.4 Business Impact Finance professionals can re-focus effort from estimating outcomes to decision support activities Predictions are more accurate, decreasing error on average by 40%* Managers have a tool providing easily understood insights for creating improvement roadmaps * based on data over eight quarters and weighted for business unit size Traditional STAR 3.1 1.4 1.8 1.3 6.8 3.4 BU #1 BU #2 BU #3 BU #4
