This document discusses making advanced analytics work for your organization. It defines advanced analytics as the autonomous or semi-autonomous examination of data using sophisticated techniques beyond traditional BI to discover deeper insights, make predictions, or generate recommendations. It notes that new big data technologies enable cost-effective storage and analysis of large amounts of data, while modern interfaces allow more user groups to draw insights. However, advanced analytics projects also carry higher risks of failure since the results are not guaranteed and require expertise in working with probabilities.
