J. Patrick Bewley, Marketing Entreprenuer. Today there is a tremendous amount of "buzz" about the Data Management Platform or DMP space. Top venture capital firms like Kleiner Perkins are placing large investments in upstart companies that are focused on building these capabilities. The majority of the new DMP companies’ principal focus is to create a marketing platform to manage the tremendous volume of click stream and ad serving data for the purpose of improving ad targeting.
These companies envision that the Data Management Platform will function as the backbone for all advertising operations. The intended scale is to manage billions of events per day. As an aspirational vision, they also hope to incorporate online consumer interaction and profile data to create a universal data collection and centralized storage environment. Many DMP companies have built audience management and distribution capabilities including deep integration with online ad networks, automated agency trading desks, ad exchanges and content owners.
Why P&G CIO Is Quadrupling Analytics Expertise - Global-cio - Procter & Gamble's Filippo Passerini is investing in analytics talent, even as the company cuts in other areas, to speed up business decision making. Procter & Gamble CIO Filippo Passerini says he plans to increase fourfold the number of company staff with expertise in business analytics. Passerini is building that expertise at a time when P&G is cutting costs in other areas, including eliminating 1,600 nonmanufacturing jobs. The company's IT organization itself has cut $900 million in total spending over the past nine years. Passerini is investing in analytics expertise because the model for using data to run a company is changing. The old IT model was to figure out which reports people wanted, capture the data, and deliver it to the key people weeks or days after the fact. The new model Passerini envisions is something of a virtual, instant-on war room, where people huddle in person or by video around the needed data, pulling in the right experts to fix a problem the moment it arises.

Data-Driven Decision Making [e-Lead] View Related Links for Data-Driven Decision Making Background The American public, dissatisfied with the results of their public education system, has for some time been clamoring for reform. International standardized tests have shown that American students are not competing with their foreign counterparts. Reports have come out which show that entire sectors of American society—the poor, minorities, the English language deficient, and the learning impaired—are being left behind. In response to these alarming statistics, political leaders, the parents who elect them, and the social scientists who inform both have been advocating countless reforms, some of them quite extreme. Fortunately, however, the education reform movement has not produced criticism alone. Though data-driven decision making is relatively new as an element in school reform, the successes it has brought about throughout the nation make it an unavoidable force for change.
