In today’s digital world data is like air – it’s everywhere. Clean and fresh – brings life, but when polluted can be deadly.
Data analytics is at the center of the great transformation. It is an indispensable tool for organizations to uncover critical business insights and make smarter decisions. However, it is one thing to have data analytics capabilities in your organization and another one to use them to create actionable insight. Two challenges businesses face when it comes to decision-making are data quality and decision coverage. Data quality refers to the trustworthiness of the data and how it impacts decision-making. Decision coverage refers to how the number of decisions you can make based on a given amount of data. This can vary a lot depending on where you are in your value chain and your level of exposure to data.
In this article, we will discuss the challenges and importance of implementing data analytics solutions, and how well we can overcome these challenges with RAI Base the Data Analyst. Enjoy while reading.
The Primary Challenges for Data Analytics and Management
Trying to find the right data when you need it, under a tight deadline can be exhausting. Especially if you’re in the FMCG / retail or commodity trading industries, you know what we mean: you have to act fast to keep up with the race. In these industries, data is always changing, and it’s important to be able to find the right information at the right time.
All organizations in the supply chain need to understand their exposure and how they can affect the market. Whether you’re a retailer or a trader, having access to high-quality data, and being able to use that data to create actionable insights, is critical to all managers’ exposure along the value chain. Any of them need to understand their own exposure and potential gain from adapting to market changes. With well-executed data management, professionals can avoid headaches that go along with inconsistent data because it standardizes definitions and increases accuracy.
The majority of data management in FMCG and commodity trading occurs on timescales greater than fractions of a second, and choices are made to optimize operations of huge asset portfolios over the long run rather than focusing on short-term monetary benefits. That’s why anyone with considerable data exposure, not only the most active participants, has to manage market data first.
The problem is that data analytics is not straightforward—it’s actually very complex. In addition, many organizations lack the expertise needed to implement solutions that leverage their data effectively. And handling the struggles in real-time collaboration on data, sharing data with diverse teams, and tracking development on ‘relevant’ data are the keys to success. You could use a spreadsheet or Google Docs—but those aren’t built for real-time collaboration or pulling in real-time data from multiple sources. But what if you could have a reporting analyst who not only knew how to find the right data but also knew how to share it with your team? You will learn the answer in the upcoming sections of this article.
With the help of advanced data analytics systems, organizations can make smarter and faster business decisions. They can get more out of the data by gaining access to actionable insights that were previously inaccessible.
Implementing Data Governance and Analytics Solutions
The process of ensuring that data quality, accuracy, and currency are consistent across an organization are the elements of data governance. It’s a critical aspect of business intelligence (BI) and analytics, especially when dealing with large amounts of data.
The lack of standards for data quality and workflow practices can lead to inconsistent data across different teams or projects within an organization. This can cause problems ranging from wasted time on redundant work to errors in critical decisions based on bad data results. Data governance helps mitigate these issues by creating policies that ensure consistent practices so that no matter who creates or uses the data—it will always be up-to-date and accurate.
That’s why every organization requires attention to data governance. It’s a process, not a goal, and it won’t happen overnight. It has the ability to improve planned decision-making, quality, cost, and efficiency if done correctly. Moreover, a robust data governance policy boosts the motivation of the team, who know they can trust the data they work with every day.
