17. Definition
Customer Profitability Analysis is:
1) Measuring the contribution each customer makes to
overall profits, and to the key drivers of those profits. In
other words, a “customer-level version” of your
corporations P&L statement.
2) Analysis that USES these customer-level metrics to
improve results (there are a large number of
applications)

18. History of Customer Profitability Analysis:
1. Around since at least the early 1980s.
2. Banks were early adopters
3. Massive results unlocked over the years

• One product, if booked into regional systems and sold by both companies, in a
merger can feed from 6 separate systems.
• At the very least, numbering schemes from the two companies will be different.
• At worst, every system will have a unique number or name for a single client.

25. What do Customer Profitability Metrics Enable?
A Top 5 List…
1
Customer Segmentation and Lifetime Value (CLV)

27. Example: Better Pricing of Risk vs. Reward
Using CLV metrics to predict profits over the customer lifetime, lenders make
better decisions about lending to “riskier” customers

32. Defining Big Data: “Three Vs”
"Big Data“ is seen as data with:
greater volume…
greater variety…
and/or
greater velocity….

33. Another Way to Define “Big Data” -
What are the optimal methods to accomplish your goal?
Traditional Methods? Big-Data Methods?
or
• Centralized data storage • Distributed data storage
• Centralized processing/analysis • Distributed processing/analysis
• Relational databases (tables) • Non-relational databases
• SQL queries to access data • Map-reduce (et al) to access data
• Standardized basic analytics • Customized basic analytics
• Typical tools: • Typical tools:
• MS SQL Server • Hadoop
• Oracle • BigTable
• Tableau • Riak
• Excel pivot tables • Amazon S3

34. Big Data Approaches and Tools Make Data Analysis
Possible, for very large data sets that cannot be handled at all with typical
relational databases.
Faster, for large data sets that can be handled with typical relational
databases, but doing so would take a long time. This is the situation in the
example above.
Cheaper, for large data sets that can be handled with typical relational
databases, but doing so would be very expensive.

35. Big Data Allows Us To Work with Large Datasets
We can analyze datasets larger than ever before
For a given desired speed of analysis…
Beyond a certain point, conventional
methods just aren’t feasible –
Google couldn’t run on a relational DB
IT Costs
For larger datasets, big-data
methods make more sense

For smaller datasets,
conventional methods are
more cost-effective Traditional Big-data
