Analytics

Research opportunities and challenges

Analytics describes HP Labs’ research on technologies and processes that deliver new ways to leverage data across different formats and business disciplines, enabling faster, better-informed decision-making.

Organizations rely on business analytics to inform decision-making about their internal operations, their customers, their sales and supply chain, in order to cut costs, improve asset management, and increase efficiency. Analytic software can improve decisions in security, marketing, customer profiling and personalization, procurement, supply chain, risk management, business intelligence, workforce management, and IT.

In addition, the opportunity exists to aggregate data from different sources to create an unprecedented level of intelligence on which to base business decisions. The key is to capture and process data in the unstructured format, which is data lying not in databases but in a variety of files that include email, word processing documents, slide decks, collaboration sites, and wikis.
