Target new opportunities with
existing data
Poll

• Direct data monetization
• New products & services for new
markets
• Applied business intelligence
‘Out of box’ opportunities to
provide value
Business Model Innovation with Your Data

Gartner on data monetization:1
• “By 2016, 30% of businesses will have begun directly or
indirectly monetizing their information assets via bartering or
selling them outright ”
• “Start building information product manager skills and analytical
competencies in your organization.”
• “Large retailers place their point of sales (POS) and other store
promotion data online for their business partners to subscribe to.”
Direct Data Monetization Opportunities
1. From Gartner research report – “How Organizations Can Monetize Customer Data,” Analysts: Olive Huang, Douglas
Laney; Published 6 March 2014

“Monetize” Use Case
What is it?
• Provide enriched internal data sets as service to external
customers & partners
• Leverage internal sources like sensor, location, & activity data
– and combine with external sources as well
Why do it?
• Generate new sources of revenue by leveraging diverse data
• This can provide intelligence to other industries, delivering
better understanding of customers & markets

Example - Telecom Company
Challenges
• Bring together device usage data from mobile subscribers
& networks
• Deliver value-added marketing analytics as service to 3rd
parties – including location, audience, & social insights
Benefits
• Generating brand new revenue stream with technology
platform for controlling costs & maximizing margins

Example – Telecom Company

New product that helps retailers unlock value of data assets:
Another Example
The vendor provides an (anonymous) analytics service to
retailers on stores traffic – leveraging their existing networks
This data is already collected by wireless routers in retail
stores
Leverage rich data from the pings that smartphones send out
as they search for Wi-Fi networks

Reinvent value propositions
with new data technology

What is Big Data?
Characteristics
• Variety
• Velocity
• Volume
Technologies
• Hadoop
• NoSQL
• Analytical Database

Big Data is a Value Proposition Game-Changer:
Why does Big Data matter to me as a PM?
Leverage Prediction at Scale for Smarter Apps
• Example – Run recommendation algorithms across millions
of users & pieces of content with near-instant performance
Create Products Using Diverse Data Sources
• Example: Deliver intelligent products harnessing machine &
device data, log file data, social media data, & other
unstructured data
Future-Proof for Growth & Performance
• Example: Solve scalability to tens/hundreds of millions of
users – i.e. why Yahoo, Facebook, Google & others created
the technology (out of necessity)

Why does Big Data matter to me as a PM?
Old Way:
Relational Only
• Product serves a specific
functional purpose
• Manage data in one or more
relational application database(s)
• Application data often isolated
from other relevant data
New Way:
Relational + Big Data
• Product is also prescriptive
regarding that function
• Regularly ingests new data to
improve prescriptive models
• App data is blended with multiple
other data sources, expanding
problem-solving potential

Consumer Personalization
Optimized Brand Experiences
Product Characteristics
> Delivers real-time personalized shopping
experiences across the web - including
recommendations, promotions, & emails
> Customers include large brands & retailers
Application Intelligence
> Rebuilds webpages based on
aggregate consumer models &
recent individual behavior
> Learns adaptively & adjusts product
recommendations up to 12x a day
Underlying Technology
> Hadoop & related technologies, as
well as NoSQL for unstructured data
> Advanced predictive modeling
> Real-time infrastructure returns API
calls in milliseconds

GigaOm on Internet of Things:1
• Synapse is creating a cloud platform
for data processing & analysis,
including real-time events
• Their distributed architecture is similar
to that of consumer web companies,
like Netflix
• Sample use case – Sensing whether
or not hospital workers wash hands
Sensor Analytics & Big Data
1. From GigaOm: “Why the internet of things is big data’s latest killer app — if you do it right”, by Derrick Harris, 3/4/2014

① Check with your counterparts in Operations & Engineering to see if
your organization is using or planning to use Big Data technologies
① If you are building a new product or company, evaluate whether a Big
Data architecture would be a good fit
② Monitor how leading consumer & B2B applications are leveraging
these technologies on an ongoing basis
Big Data: So what can I do today?
