Big Data Analytics Getting Easier

 -- A Look at Datameer's Multi-Channel Marketing Analytics Application

 As a pioneer in big data analytics, Datameer just released[i] the first pre-packaged application, Multi-Channel Marketing Analytics App, making big data analytics easier for marketing executives.  This new application is a premium add-on that can be easily added onto the Datameer existing platform.  Datameer app marketplace already offers various add-on applications, both free and paid, with pre-packaged analytics for various big data analysis.  Multi-Channel Marketing Analytics App is Datameer’s first release of its planned series enterprise grade applications that target various vertical areas of the enterprise needs – this time, the needs of a marketing executive.

As of now, CMOs have to pull from multiple sources and systems for marketing campaigns conducted using different channels.   For example, data for trade shows, webinars, websites, online advertising, and traditional ad placements do not reside in the same source system.   Those data cannot typically be easily integrated and are not ready for consumption together to provide a complete picture.  Datameer’s Multi-Channel Marketing Analytics App uses many pre-built connectors (see figure 1 below) that can easily inject data from different sources--almost like opening multiple spreadsheets.   Leveraging Datameer’s dimension-free modeling, all useful data can be quickly mashed up for a complete analysis.

With Multi-Channel Marketing Analytics App, using pre-built analytics with minor adjustments on organization specifics, you could very quickly gain marketing insights (see examples in figure 2 below) such as
