What are analytics capabilities?
Analytics capabilities are the combination of data, platforms, processes and people that allow an organization to turn its information into decisions. It is not just about having dashboards: it means integrating scattered sources, building a reliable data model, putting information in the hands of decision-makers and moving toward models that anticipate and recommend.
At Summan we support that entire journey and sustain it with managed services, so the capabilities keep running and evolving after implementation.
What you can achieve
- Automate the information flow that today is assembled by hand in spreadsheets.
- Unify data from sales, operations, logistics, finance and customers in a single model.
- Reliable KPIs with one definition for the whole organization.
- Dashboards for leaders that show where the efficiency opportunities are.
- Predictive models for demand, costs, quality or risk.
- Connect several companies or business units on the same data model.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between business intelligence and advanced analytics?
Business intelligence describes what happened and why, with KPIs and dashboards. Advanced analytics uses statistical and machine learning models to anticipate what will happen and recommend what to do.
Where do we start if our data is scattered?
With integration: we identify the sources, build a common data model and automate its loading. Dashboards are built on that foundation, followed by predictive models.
Can we use the tools we already have?
Yes. We work on AWS, Google Cloud, Splunk, Tableau, Power BI and other platforms, and build on what the organization already has.
What are managed services?
Summan's ongoing support to operate, maintain and evolve the data platform and models after implementation.
