Building Real-time Analytics

Organizations continue to look for opportunities to improve decision making and business results through analytics. This can require analytics to be predictive and even prescriptive in nature – providing recommended courses of action, often in real-time.

At this ALN Leadership Breakfast you will hear how Enova International, a global online financial services company, was faced with the task of building a real-time analytics engine to facilitate the underwriting of customers, prevent fraud, and optimize marketing and customer service. Their system needed to be able to easily implement cutting-edge statistical techniques while maintaining throughput of at least 300k requests per hour. This presentation will discuss systems requirements, provide background information and walk attendees through the process of designing and implementing the final solution. Additionally, lessons learned about what went well and what did not go well will be shared. Attendees will leave this session with practical knowledge about how to get started implementing a comparable real-time analytics system for their organization.
