Rating: (1)

Overview: Business analytics is an organization’s greatest asset in delivering insight into customer behavior, operations, financial performance, and risk management. It also gives organizations the ability to assess more complex questions, optimizing business growth and innovation.

Opportunities for grid-based business analytics solutions are on the rise and expected to increase as the volumes of data grow and the demand for fact-based decision making continues to expand across all industries. In fact, in 2008, analytics software grew 12 percent with an expected annual growth rate of 7 percent over the next five years.

Business analytic solutions for grid and other high performance computing (HPC) environments not only allow organizations to achieve process efficiencies, but also enable them to innovate and achieve competitive differentiation by allowing them to increase the complexity of their assessments.

This white paper focuses on the benefits of deploying business analytics solutions on grip computing platforms. It also discusses the reasons for selecting business analytics software on grid computing platforms, and the benefits achieved by three organizations. The case studies show how these technologies helped organizations gain the competitive edge in an environment of more challenging decision-support requirements, growing data volumes, and shrinking IT budgets.
