Laurie Desautels presented on "Big data: big decisions or big fallacy" at CPA Canada's national conference in September 2016. The presentation discussed what big data is, the language of analytics, lessons learned, and implications for accountants. Big data refers to large volumes of structured, unstructured and semi-structured data that is growing exponentially. Analytics can extract insights from data to help organizations make more informed decisions. Finance functions are spending more time on data analysis and generating business insights. Both human judgment and machine learning algorithms will play important roles in decision-making. Organizations must apply the right analytics approaches to different types of decisions.

Self-service data analytics enables business users to access and analyze corporate data without needing expertise in data analysis, business intelligence, or data mining. It provides an easy-to-use platform for users to prepare, blend, and analyze data using a repeatable workflow and then deploy and share analytics. The benefits of self-service data analytics include faster time to insights, no need for upfront data modeling, a user interface designed for non-technical users, and the ability to connect to more data sources.
Embedded business intelligence involves integrating self-service BI tools directly into commonly used business applications. This allows for enhanced user experience with visualization, real-time analytics and interactive reporting directly within applications. Embedded BI aims to make business
The document discusses several key trends in analytics for 2015:
1. Data security is a major concern as data volumes grow exponentially, requiring companies to quadruple down on security efforts through innovation, analytics, and tighter integration.
2. The rise of the Internet of Things generates massive sensor data that requires new analytics to extract value, though challenges remain in integrating these systems.
3. Some argue that data should be monetized as an asset, but this brings risks around privacy, ethics, and real costs that companies need to consider carefully.
4. Cognitive analytics is enhancing decision-making by providing users with vast new sources of knowledge, though questions remain about how these systems will impact human roles over time
To be updated is not enough for companies today. Organizations must be constantly watching also to the trends in order to predict and forecast the next steps for their business.

The document discusses 25 predictions about the future of big data:
1) Data volumes and ways to analyze data will continue growing exponentially with improvements in machine learning and real-time analytics.
2) More companies will appoint chief data officers and use data as a competitive advantage.
3) Data governance, visualization, and delivery through data fabrics and marketplaces will be key to extracting insights from diverse data sources and empowering partners.
4) Data is becoming a new global currency and companies are monetizing their data through algorithms, services, and by becoming "data businesses."
The document discusses Luminar, an analytics company that uses big data and Hadoop to provide insights about Latino consumers in the US. Luminar collects data from over 2,000 sources and uses that data along with "cultural filters" to identify Latinos and understand their purchasing behaviors. This provides more accurate information than traditional surveys. Luminar implemented a Hadoop system to more quickly analyze this large amount of data and provide valuable insights to marketers and businesses.
This document discusses big data analytics projects and some of the challenges involved. It notes that while gaining insights from big data is desirable, it is difficult to do due to the volume, variety and velocity of data, as well as complexity. The document provides advice on questions businesses should consider when developing a big data analytics strategy and system, such as data timeliness, interrelatedness of data sources, historical data needs, and vendor experience. Understanding these issues is key to identifying the right technology to support a big data analytics initiative.
This document provides an overview of big data adoption based on a survey of 255 professionals. Key findings include:
1) Big data has evolved from a focus on size to prioritizing data structure, processing speed, and extracting business value.
2) Companies now manage big data across a hybrid ecosystem of platforms like Hadoop and data warehouses, rather than a single centralized system. This allows aligning different data types and workloads to the best suited platform.
3) Adoption of big data is growing, with over half of companies having ongoing big data programs. The most common initial uses are in marketing, fraud detection, and IT operations. Implementation challenges include integrating diverse data and a lack of skills.
As 2017 begins, we are seeing big data and data science communities engage with new tools that specifically cater to data scientists and data engineers who aren’t necessarily experts in these techniques. Given rapid technological advances, the question for companies now is how to integrate new data science capabilities into their operations and strategies—and position themselves in a world where analytics can upend entire industries. Leading companies are using their data science capabilities not only to improve their core operations but also to launch entirely new business models.
