Transforming the Department of Defense with Data Analytics: A Case Study - Alteryx Industrial IoT Case Study
Transforming the Department of Defense with Data Analytics: A Case Study
The Department of Defense (DoD), the largest business entity in the United States, faced significant challenges in managing and analyzing its vast data resources. With a 2019 budget of $686 billion and an estimated 3.4 million employees, the DoD generates an enormous amount of data. However, the defense sector's unique business drivers, policies, constraints, and operational challenges often make it difficult for traditional consultancies, solutions providers, and product vendors to understand and address its needs. The DoD's existing data collection, storage, and analysis processes were heavily paper-driven and lacked the necessary frameworks for effective data management and analysis. The data existed in hundreds of different places and lacked standardization across various lines of business. This situation made it difficult to increase collaboration, information sharing, and data-driven action. The challenge was to change the perception of data within the DoD and highlight the value it could provide.

Predicting and Trading on the Cryptocurrency Markets using Alteryx - Alteryx Industrial IoT Case Study
Predicting and Trading on the Cryptocurrency Markets using Alteryx
Predict Crypto, a project by a student at the University of Colorado Boulder, aimed to predict, trade, and research the cryptocurrency markets. The project required a fully automated solution capable of dynamically pulling the latest data from a database, producing a new set of predictive models daily, and executing real trades on the live cryptocurrency markets every hour. The challenge was to navigate the volatile world of cryptocurrencies and observe patterns within the markets to make medium-term predictions. The goal was to cash in on these trends better than a simple 'HODL' (Hold On for Dear Life) strategy, which involves putting the investment away and forgetting about it for a couple of years.

Vector Logistics Enhances Data Automation for Improved Efficiency - Alteryx Industrial IoT Case Study
Vector Logistics Enhances Data Automation for Improved Efficiency
Vector Logistics, a Sales, Merchandising, and Supply Chain partner in Southern Africa, was facing a significant challenge in managing multiple data sets within the customer analytics area. The company was spending a substantial amount of time manually extracting files from SAP and consolidating them with files received in email attachments using Microsoft Excel and the Power Query functions. This process was repeated approximately 4 days per month and upon ad-hoc requests, such as employee changes including new hires, resignations, and role changes. The challenge was to create an automated workflow that would significantly reduce manual efforts in extracting, mapping, and cleansing data that was previously done using Power Query. The company also needed to map unstructured IRI/Shoprite/PNP Portal data to SAP BW data, thereby reducing efforts involved with cleansing data previously completed using 'text to columns', 'vlookup' and other manual interventions.

Verato's Accelerated Time-to-Value with Alteryx in Healthcare - Alteryx Industrial IoT Case Study
Verato's Accelerated Time-to-Value with Alteryx in Healthcare
Verato, a startup specializing in patient identity resolution and master person index, recognized the need for higher-quality data in the healthcare market. The company uses a unique cloud-based solution that employs algorithms, or Referential Matching, to match vendor databases with patient data. This solution helps hospitals match medical records and patient data with greater accuracy, improving patient care. However, Verato faced a significant challenge in analyzing vast volumes of patient identity data. The company had no standard tool in place to analyze millions of records quickly and efficiently. Much of the work was being done in Python scripts, which did not allow for ad-hoc data analysis. Furthermore, Verato had to process ad-hoc requests on tight deadlines, with each customer providing 600 million rows of data. The company needed a solution that could automate workflows, process data inputs in a timely fashion, and connect to their Slack files and Mongo database.

Washington State Department of Health Leverages IoT for Efficient Data Analysis
The Washington State Department of Health was faced with the challenge of managing and analyzing a massive influx of data from various sources such as hospitals, schools, and clinics due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Their traditional processes were overwhelmed and the use of virtual machines did not provide a solution. The department's data systems, which had been underfunded for the past 50 years, were built for single purposes, overly customized, and lacked interoperability. This resulted in a lengthy and complex process to clean, transform, standardize, and restructure data before it could be queried. The lack of tools to simplify or centralize this process led to a long time to insight and a great amount of duplicative work done by agency analysts.

Building a ‘Super System’ for Student Planning + Income Modelling
The University of Nottingham, one of the UK's largest universities, needed to forecast its student population and the related income each year to allocate departmental budgets. The planning and performance team was responsible for collecting and analysing up to nine million records of data on thousands of students across the globe to model expected student numbers and activity accurately. However, with 56 departments requiring deep levels of analytical granularity and five-year forecasts, calculations were complex. By 2015, the team desperately needed a more dynamic student planning model that would allow increased granularity and subsequently improve decision making, whilst working alongside Tableau’s data visualisation. The task would be to handle all reporting for student planning and forecasting as well as verifying data for HESA (Higher Education Statistics Agency), the body that collects quantitative data about higher education in the UK.

Birmingham City University Conquers HESES Regulatory Deadlines with Alteryx
Birmingham City University is required to make mandatory annual returns to the OfS (Office for Students, previously HEFCE) to verify its government funding allocation. The Planning and Performance Department must pull together information from several internal systems and external sources to complete the aggregated funding return of student activity. Amassing and preparing the data from multiple sources is a significant, sizeable and complex challenge; with regulatory timeframes for the HESES return generally imposing a 7 working day turnaround from the census point of 1 December. Improving automation and underpinning processes became increasingly important both for securing efficiencies and for maintaining high levels of data integrity. It is essential that legitimate changes compared to prior years are clearly and accurately demonstrated, as this has the potential to affect the university’s core funding grant.
