This year is going to witness two significant innovations coming together to help fuel the democratization of predictive modelling. SAP’s acquisition of KXEN in 2013 brought about a new dimension in the way SAP planned to position predictive capabilities with our customers. SAP InfiniteInsight was the reincarnation of KXEN in the SAP world. At the time of the acquisition, SAP had a home-grown predictive analysis product. SAP Predictive Analysis was a product focused on the data scientist persona (aka. expert users) who has an in-depth knowledge of the algorithms and the predictive modelling process.
These two products are now coming together into the next generation product – SAP Predictive Analytics
The first deliverable, as part of the converged product, is the single installer for both SAP Predictive Analysis and SAP InfiniteInsight, which released to customers today. Expert analytics and automated analytics are the terms used for SAP Predictive Analysis and SAP InfiniteInsight respectively in the converged product. This enables the user to install a single product and have access to both modelling environments.
Going forward, SAP Predictive Analytics will bring together a seamless modelling experience (for both business and expert users) and the benefits of operationalizing the predictive models.
SAP Predictive Analytics came about because there were several benefits that our end-users enjoyed in both the predictive products from SAP and KXEN.KXEN’s solution offered capabilities for easy consumption of predictive modelling to the business users who aren’t expected to be experts in predictive modelling. It also offered several ways to operationalize predictive models. The eventual SAP InfiniteInsight offered many features including:
SAP Predictive Analysis focused on the data scientist (expert user) who has an in-depth knowledge of the algorithms and the predictive modelling process. Features included:
Now that the two products have come together into the next generation product – SAP Predictive Analytics – the customer will find the best of both the products with features that will enable them to embed predictive in a pervasive manner and to a much wider spectrum of applications. In other words, the converged product will act as a catalyst for fuelling the democratization of predictive modelling.
