  Activating Analytics
  
  Time is money – so have you empowered your organisation to capitalise on time-sensitive intelligence?
  
  The time taken between a transaction or touch point and the reaction of the business is made up of several discrete time periods. First, there is the delay in capturing data; then a delay in analysing information; and finally a delay in making the right decisions.
  
  This presentation will discuss ways to reduce these delays by combining the power of Teradata and SAS, thus allowing your organisation to react quicker to critical stimuli.
