The best companies are integrating many data sources to develop strategic insights

Airlines are doing some pretty amazing things. #IBM and #watson is helping!

social data is a requirement for #socialbusiness

Seems like healthcare is setting some good examples as well.

@furrier right john! the trick is doing so in real time@

@ambarmstrong Right! airlines are in such a highly competitive industry that to offset low margins can use #ibmwatson to help them in predictive analytics

Banks are doing a lot of quiet activity integrating big data into their processes

The Weather Company

I think entertainment is big industry followed by financial services

A2 it's easier in some industries than others to gain access to #analytics and #socbiz. Financial/banking institutions have more compliance/security issues to be mindful of than retail, for example.

A2 companies in the CPG/FMCG space are leveraging social data and turning this into key market insights in innovative ways

A2 @IBMSocialBiz which industry can't really benefit for #socbiz & #analytics - it's mainstream for banks, govt, healthcare, etc.

lets not forgert #financial services companies. masters at #analytics

A2 For example, taking data from LinkedIn, Twitter and your database to reach customers across channels

A2 telecommunication companies have also learned how to capture social data and harness it to drive a better customer service experience

Retailers are also doing this well with the ability to provide personalized recommendations.

A2: Yelp is doing some pretty awesome things with it - for ex: if it's raining it will suggest seeing a movie (personalization is all in the data!)

Systems with robust systems of record lend themselves to better understanding of the operations

I love how #analytics is making our shopping experiences better.

Retail, specifically online retailers without brick and mortar storefronts

A2: agree with @rducre retail is killing it with big data - from Starbucks to Kohls!

Seems like retail, FSS and telco are ahead of the game

@Kristi_Eells I'm always surprised to see exactly what data is accessible. More than I would think.

A2: Warby Parker, Bonobos and Birchbox are killing it in terms of #socbiz and #bigdata - they are truly making consumers feel like individuals

@samjoyk A2: Not to mention Target ;)

Some police forces are using data and analysis well.

@samjoyk agreed! Warby Parker especially

So true @Sarah_Gibb

Cities use big data and geotagging for predictive analytics on all sorts of impacts and services.

agreed that retail are and would expect to be ahead in this. There are still many people who find the whole thing a bit stalker-eske...

yes that's why a one-size-fits-all product won't work, and IBM Services could excel... companies like Amazon, Pinterest and Square are examples of success

@ambarmstrong Yet the airlines can still be very annoying and impersonal.

@MattPCleveland Understand. Yet when I buy a book in person at Barnes & Nobel (for example) using my B&N card I'd appreciate them acknowledging that I'm a frequent shopper and I'd like them to highlight relevant new books in the store to me.

@gully1965 Absolutely, I just think some people fear big business knowing 'too much' about them

@gully1965 Totally. actually many police forces use IBM's i2 suite of police intelligence offerings

You had me at ROI @ambarmstrong

haha.. it really is the key!

:)! that's all we need to convince the world to do in order to adopt!

Or as James McQuivey put it return on Disruption #ROD @ambarmstrong

Great tool to show industry differences in analytics use http://www.ibm.com/s...

.@samjoyk So true!

Absolutely! #Bigdata is a tool, not a solution.

pair that with #analytics and its a match made in heaven

The topics intermingle, but are often talked about seperately. Social data feeds big data, like machine data

Big Data and Analytics, Cloud, Social and Mobility are four forces that are converging in Sales Performance Management. Check out World at Work: Spotlight on Sales conference for session.

@kevingrayIBM Good one

Absolutely Sam. Predictive Analytics and Sales Performance Management are hot topics these days.

and CRM, too, where they unite

and this helps them plan out for future product enrollment@kevingrayIBM

Yes. When you can use it to get biz and IT leaders within an org coming together to realize #value from that data for the better of the business, that's truly #smart.

Companies can use big data and analytics for use in propensity models to focus on the segments that are most like to turn to sales opportunities.
