Like many companies, the 3 banks face the challenge of implementing data governance. With an end-to-end approach for metadata – from the business definition to the DWH implementation – a basis was created for this. The use cases 'IT requirements', 'data quality' and 'data definitions' were the focus of the resource-saving project. The target groups for the metadata are primarily the LoB, especially risk management, but also IT.

Target Audience: Data Governance Manager, Risk Manager, Data Quality…

I will show the journey that Tires took from its first attempts to extend their BI services for analytics to operate a mission critical industrialization environment which runs several AI projects. Beneath the problems and obstacles that were taken I will also explain the decisions that were taken and show the industrialization environment which was created. I also will explain why it was necessary to have such an environment instead of making use of classical BI tools.

Target Audience: Project…

In the past, data was often stored in a monolithic data warehouse. Recently, with the advent of big data, there has been a shift to work directly with files. The challenge therefore arises in data management and storing metadata information. In this presentation, I will show how SAP (ERP or BW) data can be extracted using SAP Data Intelligence (ODP framework) and stored along with their metadata information. These data are stored in a Common Data Model (CDM) format and can be easily integrated…

Quantifying the impact of customer experience (CX) improvements on the financials is crucial for prioritizing and justifying investments. In telecommunication as well as other subscription-based industries, churn is one of or the most important financial aspects to take into account. The presented approach shows how the churn impact of CX improvements – measured via Net Promoter Score (NPS) – can be estimated based on structural causal models. It makes use of algorithms for causal discovery and…

The past year or two has seen major changes in vendor support for the extended Hadoop ecosystem, with withdrawals, collapses, and mergers, as well as de-emphasis of Hadoop in marketing. Some analysts have even declared Hadoop dead. The reality is more subtle, as this session shows, through an exploration of Hadoop's strengths and weaknesses, history, current status and prospects. Discussion topics include plans for initiating new Hadoop projects and what to do if you have already invested,…

ZF plant Saarbrücken, Germany, manufactures around 11,000 transmissions per day. With 17 basic transmission types in 700 variants, the plant manages a large number of variants. Every transmission consists of up to 600 parts. An AI project was started to get reliable + fast results on root cause discovery. Speed is important because production runs 24 hours/7 days a week. The target is to reduce waste in certain manufacturing domains by 20%. The key success factor is the fast detection mechanism…
