Mature Organizations are Looking for Instantaneous
Insight from Data
Speed to insight

Respondents were asked how quickly business users
require data to be available for analysis or within
processes. Box placement reflects the prevalence of
that requirements within each a stage.
Total respondents n = 973

What is Sensitive Data

Personally Sensitive
•  Information that can be misused to harm a person in financial,
employment or social way. (Names, Social Security Number, Credit Card,
etc.)

Network Sensitive
•  Information that can be misused to breech or disable critical
network communication (Circuit Identifiers, IP Addresses, etc.)
Corporate Sensitive
•  Information that can misused to compromise the competitive
position of a company (Operational Metrics, etc.)

What are Profiles
•  Lifestyle Profiles are defined by marketing analysts for specific
use cases or marketing programs
•  Usage Profiles are created using data mining algorithms and
define how a person uses services during the day
•  Location Affinity is created with algorithms and determines
preferred locations for individuals throughout the day and week
•  Together these uniquely define a person with relation to how
the retailer or marketer might want to market to them

Creating Groups of Mobility Profiles Enables
Better Prediction for Certain Groups
l 

profiles breakdown like this
l 

Homebody, doesn't visit too many unique locations

l 

Daily Grinder, back and forth to work, quiet weekends, makes
stops along the way

l 

Norm Peterson, inside the lines, no deviations

l 

Delivering the goods, no predictable patterns, many different
locales during the day

l 

Globe Trotter, either not in town, or keeps their phone turned off

l 

Rover Wanderer, spends evenings at various location (sofa
surfers www.couchsurfing.org)

l 

“Other”, is a group hard to categorize

By Profile, when is it easy or difficult to predict
where they will be?

These are the 2 most predictable profiles, yet there is diversity in their predictability.
To best communicate with Daily Grinders, contact them on Thursday Afternoons just before dinner

Preferred Locations of by profile type at
Lunchtime Weekdays (Central Stockholm)

Daily
Grinders
Night
Shifters
Delivering
the Goods

What analysis is available (Anonymous Data)
From the mobility profiles, summarized, anonymous analysis is
available
l 

Summarized to ensure anonymity, analysis of popular locations
by time of day and profile of subscribers is possible
l 

l 

l 

For retailers this information can help understand what types
of people are nearby at lunch time
What types of people prefer which areas. Some obvious
results are Globe Trotters go to airports, Daily Grinders go to
office buildings. Other non-obvious results show up also.
Are there predictable patterns that we can use to target
certain groups in the future?

What Makes this Possible?
l 

l 

Using the power of Netezza and modeling capabilities of SPSS we
can literally throw all the data at data mining algorithms and create
discrete clusters of subscribers by activity, mobility
Apply the data mining outputs to the entire subscriber base by
creating detailed specific analyses for each subscriber refined by the
mobility profiles
