Detlef Nauck (BT): Abstract

All large organisations are facing the challenge of integrating sophisticated analytics and the management of big data into their daily operations. Corporations have long realised the value of analytics for making evidence-based decisions, but they are finding it difficult to keep up with the evolving fields of business intelligence, data mining, predictive analytics, big data etc. that all somehow seem to be culminating into what is called Data Science today.

The challenges of corporate analytics are not about which analytical tools to buy, which big data environment to deploy or which analytical methods produce the best predictive models. Corporations are struggling more with the 'Hows' of analytics instead of the 'Whats'.

In this talk I will look at how BT's corporate research program addresses the challenges that Data Science poses to the business and give an outlook on how corporate analytics may continue to evolve and how academic research can contribute.
