Powering business transformation through connected data
In today’s fast-paced digital world, customer expectations are ever evolving. When placing an order online, customers don’t just want an estimated range for the delivery date; they expect a precise date. This requires collating and processing data from a variety of sources quickly and accurately. The order system needs real-time information from the sales database to check inventory levels, the production system to track manufacturing schedules, and third-party logistics to ensure timely delivery. It would also need to consider external factors, like weather conditions and how they could affect the delivery schedule. Seamless data integration is critical for delivering proactive, responsive, and comprehensive service that today’s customers demand.
Amid a data-rich milieu, businesses are inundated with information from diverse sources like social media, online transactions, enterprise applications, IoT sensors, etc. However, when this data exists in isolated silos, its potential to drive meaningful business outcomes is lost. Disconnected data limits a business’ ability to deliver seamless customer experiences, make informed decisions, and achieve successful business results.
Drive transformation with Connected Intelligence
Connected data, on the other hand, provides a 360-degree view of an enterprise’s operations, powering smarter, data-driven decisions that are essential for driving transformation. In a connected data ecosystem, information from various sources and processes such as sales, supply chain, and manufacturing is unified, facilitating deeper understanding and analysis. This interconnected structure provides valuable insights, enabling more effective decision-making across the organization. A McKinsey report states that the adoption of AI in 2024 has increased by over 40% compared to 2022. As businesses increasingly adopt AI and ML models in business processes, connected data becomes even more critical. AI and ML models require high-quality and well-integrated datasets for accurate predictions and intelligent automation.
Areteans’ Connected Intelligence framework is built on three essential pillars – Connected Data, Connected Content, and Connected Decisions. When data, content, and decisions are seamlessly connected, businesses can consolidate operations, foster collaboration across departments, and become more agile. Key benefits include:
Improved decision-making
Connected Intelligence enables enterprises to harness large quantities of data from multiple sources and get context-rich insights that drive faster and more accurate decisions across business workflows. For instance, with Connected Data, insurers can perceive connections between different members of one family or between a person’s various insurance needs, such as home insurance, car insurance, etc. With these insights, they can deliver targeted promotions, tailor product recommendations and even craft policies with the right premium and discount that would appeal to the customer, increasing sales and customer retention.
Streamlined data compliance and risk management
Keeping up with ever-evolving data protection regulations and country-specific and industry-specific compliance requirements is a mammoth challenge. Non-compliance can lead to penalties, loss of customer trust, and reputational damage. With Connected Intelligence, enterprises can harmonize data across different systems, automate complex processes, and monitor transactions in real time. This enables organizations to respond dynamically to compliance issues and regulatory changes and proactively manage risks.
For instance, Connected Intelligence can help banks monitor transactions and operations, flag inconsistencies, and take next best actions to ensure that they comply with relevant regulations. It also strengthens fraud detection and prevention, a critical aspect of regulatory compliance. By analyzing structured and unstructured data, banks can establish patterns, figure out anomalies and identify potential fraudulent transactions and non-compliance. Banks can then proactively implement decisive steps to mitigate risks.
Increased efficiency
Data is often spread across different systems and formats, making it difficult to manage and utilize it. Connected Intelligence unifies data from all sources and uses advanced algorithms to analyze and predict while ensuring data governance. With AI-powered delivery of content and next best actions, processes are quicker and more responsive. It also reduces manual efforts, chances of human errors, and rework and ensures every action and decision is informed by comprehensive, accurate insights, increasing operational efficiency.
Innovation
With unified data, content and processes, Connected Intelligence allows real-time data sharing, improved collaboration, and more informed decision-making. It provides valuable insights that can lead to innovative ideas and improvements. Businesses can spot emerging trends, understand customer needs better, find gaps in the market and use the information to develop new products or services and improve existing offerings. For example, insurance firms can analyze historical customer data and other external data sources to understand customer preferences. With a comprehensive view of each customer, they can introduce new products and engagement techniques and deliver offerings most relevant to each customer’s unique needs and lifestyle. This personalized approach will differentiate the insurer from competitors and strengthen customer loyalty.
