SAND/DNA for Retail
 

" Previously we'd often need 20 to 25 days to analyse a major retailer's monthly detailed transactions. With SAND/DNA, we've cut this to four days! It's an enormous boost in our productivity. With SAND/DNA we have the power to explore more data and find the patterns and nuances that challenge current thinking."
— Clive Humby, Chairman, dunnhumby

As competition intensifies in the retail industry, the ability to rapidly access and analyze the large volumes of data collected - whether it be about customers and their purchases, or the operations of the supply chain - is increasingly a critical factor in achieving commercial success.

SAND/DNA enables enterprise customers in the retail industries to cost-effectively retain massive amounts of compressed data in a nearline repository for extended periods, in accordance with any applicable business rules and regulatory requirements, and to rapidly retrieve just the information they need, whenever it is needed. A centralized data management solution with unparalleled performance and storage efficiency, the SAND/DNA suite dramatically reduces costs and management complexity while ensuring continuous data availability.

SAND/DNA can serve as the platform for high-performance analytic applications in areas such as:

  • Fraud detection
  • Customer Acquisition
  • Customer Loyalty
  • Supply Chain Management

Or, it can be implemented to enhance data warehouse performance by applying Intelligent Information Management principles to warehouse design and data storage.
