Predictive Analytics 101 Business Analytics 3. Insight, not hindsight is the essence of predictive analytics. How organizations instrument, capture, create and use data is fundamentally changing the dynamics of work, life and leisure.

The confusion is about SAP having so many solutions it’s difficult to know which does what and ultimately what solution is right for a customer. Steve Lucas, head of SAP business analytics and his team created a “placemat” that easily explains the solution set, as well as how SAP business analytics fit into the overall umbrella of SAP HANA, mobile strategy and SAP’s core enterprise business.

In his keynote speech at the sixth annual Tableau Customer Conference, company co-founder and CEO Christian Chabot borrowed from Steve Jobs’ famous quote that the computer “is the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds,” to suggest that his company software is such a new bicycle.

He went on to build an argument about the nature of invention and Tableau’s place in it. The people who make great discoveries, Chabot said, start with both intuition and logic.
