Analytic Processes Maturity Model (APMM) by Robert Grossman 

The APMM described here is based on a framework for analytics that divides analytic processes into six areas:

analytics-process-maturity-model

  1. Building analytic models - The process of building an analytic model takes as the input i) data and ii) the appropriate business requirements and produces an analytic model as the output.

  2. Deploying analytic modelsThese sets of processes take a developed analytic model and integrate it into an organization’s products, services, and operations to deliver the desired business value.

  3. Managing analytic infrastructure - Managing the IT infrastructure required to build and deploy analytic models (as mentioned above, we call this analytic infrastructure following (Grossman, 2009)) has historically been challenging for many organizations but is becoming even more so as the volume, velocity, and variety of data grows. Analytic infrastructure includes both the IT infrastructure for building and deploying models.

  4. Operating an analytic governance structure - Operating a governance structure to support analytics is critical since those selecting analytic opportunities, building analytic models, deploying analytic models, and managing data required for building and deploying analytic models are usually in different organizations. Without analytic governance, it is difficult for most organizations to successfully build and deploy analytic models, much less do this with a repeatable process. Analytic processes are required for building and deploying analytic models. 

  5. Providing security and compliance for analytic assets - A growing priority of IT organizations has been IT security. Analytics and big data present some additional challenges, such as ) protecting data privacy when side-channel attacks on data are growing increasingly easy; ii) managing analytic infrastructure for big data, which can be so large that manual processes for infrastructure provisioning are no longer adequate; iii) and following appropriate security and privacy procedures when working with third party data. Setting up appropriate security and compliance processes to reduce risk, protect analytic assets, and satisfy any required regulations is an important component of a mature analytic organization.

  6. Developing an analytic strategy - Developing an analytic strategy and using the analytic strategy to select appropriate analytic opportunities. Almost all organizations have more analytic opportunities than the resources required by the opportunities, and the first set of processes involves selecting which analytic opportunities to pursue based on the short and long-term requirements and opportunities of the organization.

Key Skills for Managed Data Analytics

Data analytics requires knowledge of more than just analytics. Data engineering and operations skills also matter, which is usually termed data ingestion, when collecting the required data. Data Ingestion is not a one-time process; it needs regular data updates and monitoring for any changes in the data structure.

Data Ingestion

Data is not always readily available. If it is available, data must be distributed in more than one space. Fetching data is one first and foremost task here to work on it. There are different ways to fetch data to storage, where basic analytics will happen. API and regular Update jobs are two of them.

Data Engineering

Different programming skills are required for the mould or derived for requirements.

Different Types of Analytics

Analytics has different purposes, which are defined based on the business requirements. The analytic reports always point to the business value of the data. Different types of analytics are applied to various phases of projects and hold particular importance.

  • Descriptive analytics

  • Diagnostics

  • Predictive analytics

  • Prescriptive analytics

Top Reporting Tools for Managed Data Analytics

The reporting tools are built to facilitate the visualisation and presentation of data. Thus, Analysts can spend more time on business requirements and logic than creating visual presentations. Most reporting tools have drag-and-drop functionalities, which makes it easier to start with. Data modelling and integration features make these tools more favourable for analysts.

Excel

Excel is an easy tool to use for analysis. It is simple and has excellent functionalities. Formulas and Macros can take it to another level. At the same time, the abilities are limited. Built-in Pivot table and other visualisation features make the analytics reports easy to understand.

Power BI

Power BI is designed to make reporting more accessible, with hundreds of built-in features. It has various data connection abilities to connect with more than 100 different databases. Easy steps and drag-and-drop make it the first choice of reporting analysts. Data modelling and DAX usage can be tricky to start. Also, setting up gateways and Optimising requires more knowledge of the tools.

Tableau

Tableau is another tool for visualizing data. It includes Tableau Desktop, Tableau Server, Tableau Online, Tableau Vizable, Tableau Public, and Tableau Reader. Tableau has better and easier features than PowerBI, but it is also expensive.

SSRS

SSRS is a Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services product. It has limitations but is cheaper than PowerBI and Tableau.
