SPSS Predictive Analytics Enterprise Architect

The Enterprise Architect works as a member of an integrated team in the definition and deployment of predictive analytic solutions. This individual provides technology solution leadership to ensure that the predictive analytic solution design, implementation, and end results meet the business requirements with respect to functionality, performance, scalability, and on time delivery. The Enterprise Architect also imparts the vision of the solution as part of the deployment team so the solution can be realized. The Enterprise Architect is involved early in the sales cycle as an integral team member of the account development and management team to provide technology solution vision in the deployment of SPSS solutions across a broad spectrum of products in the pursuit of solving client business problems. This individual is responsible for ensuring the technology solution vision addresses and aligns business, analytics, data, application, and technical architecture appropriately. The Enterprise Architect is responsible for ensuring the creation of successful enterprise solutions, which solve a customer’s business problems from inception through execution. For example, for a solution focused on integrating predictive analytics into an insurance company’s claims process for fraud detection, the enterprise architect would be responsible for ensuring predictive analytics – for example, a score – can be integrated into the claims system, the business process, and potentially into the call centre or any other business driven system. Of particular interest, as clients embark on the “Predictive Journey,” is the ability to work at a senior business and technical level to understand customer expectations and ensure proof of value is clearly established within the enterprise both from a business architecture point of view as well as IT at an early stage.

  • Understanding the immediate/tactical and strategic benefits of adopting a consistent architectural approach within the context of the client’s business to help the client justify his Predictive Analytical investment.
