Big data has been heralded as one of the most impactful trends when it comes to business.

Creating Synergy across Lines of Business
As most companies adopt the ‘data driven’ approach in a hurry, this puts them in a disadvantageous position. “Lines of business(LoBs)often run their own analytics projects in silos, creating the risk of each LOB reinventing the wheel or duplicating efforts,” explains Marc Vollen weider, Co-Founder& Chief Strategist, Evalueserve. Additionally, companies are plagued by lack

of understanding regarding resources, timeline and budget requirements. Ambiguity around success metrics and retaining data professionals are other challenges faced by organizations.

Evalueserve has devised UsecaseHub, a platform that harnesses maximum business value from an organization’s analytics lifecycle. The platform enables better knowledge management, improved governance and reporting, and improves RoI &impact on business. Utilizing a three pronged approach to counter the challenges, UsecaseHub manages analytics knowledge through a simple framework to remove silos and enhances cross-LoB analytics skills and learning. It also increases diligence and oversight as projects progress in their lifecycle.
