Opportunity Qualifiers
Line of Business
I cant analyze ALL my data I have to sample or summarize I have a report that takes three days to run I have to dumb down the problem to fit the data warehouse My analyses are conducted on stale and outdated data I need to involve IT for every new report or query

IT
I cannot keep up with growing data, users and applications
We regularly miss SLAs for data freshness/availability Ad-hoc and analytic queries take too long or just not possible I have a backlog of pending applications projects

I need to do more with less


41 2011 IBM Corporation

Information Management

General Positioning: Benefits of High Performance


Dramatic productivity improvements for analysts Monthly analysis done in seconds/minutes versus hours, days Data mining/exploration done over years of historical data, not just days sampling no longer required More detailed customer segmentation produces an increase in retention, cross-sell and up-sell capabilities

Revenue enhancing solutions developed from new and more complex analysis
Painless scalability and integration with other systems

The Result: Act at the Speed of Thought Maximum ROI on Business Intelligence
42 2011 IBM Corporation

Information Management

Where Do You Hunt? Business Side


Current focus: Telcos, Retailers, Financial Services, Digital Media, Healthcare

Current BI systems are slow to answer Business needs settle on sample data
Management unable to answer important questions from existing data warehouse Users want answers in seconds and minutes Existing technology takes hours and days Business needs to analyze up-to-date data all the time Want to look at full, detailed data sets, not summaries Data and queries changing and dynamic Cant get what they need from IT

Considering costly upgrade


New Analytic Needs that IBM Netezza now addresses

43

2011 IBM Corporation

Information Management

Where Do You Hunt? Technology Side


New data mart project in development Encountering performance challenges Lots of complex and ad hoc queries 500 GB 1 PB (lower GB needs to be growing quickly) Price sensitive

Old technology installations: Sybase customers


Red Brick and Informix customers (end-of-life concerns) Mid-range Oracle customers: Exadata and all Oracle DW BI projects

44

2011 IBM Corporation

Information Management

Where Do You Avoid?


Less than 500GB of data, simple queries (SQL-Server tip-off) Hundreds/thousands of users, lots of short/lookup queries Just purchased large amounts of competitors gear Feature fights Warning sign IT staff asking lots of questions about system adjustment and tuning Transaction processing applications (OLTP) ERP, SFA, customer service, supply chain application support

45

2011 IBM Corporation

Information Management

Qualifying Questions
Current status/pain
Are you using data warehousing, data mart, or BI technology? Are you experiencing poor performance or pain in response time with your current solutions? Are there questions you would like to ask that can not be processed in the current environment? Do lengthy data processing windows hinder your analytical processes? What front-end BI apps are you using? Do you have business services/products you wish you could provide? Are you doing Advanced analytics projects using SAS SPSS or other quantitative tools? When did you last update your DW BI systems?

Business issues
Do you feel as though faster business intelligence would make you more competitive? Are your business intelligence users happy or just accepting what they get? Are you investigating new technology to reduce the latency in your analyses? Who evaluates BI technology, and who budgets for it?

46

2011 IBM Corporation

Information Management

What is a good prospect / IBM Netezza lead


Large Data volumes: typically always over 1TB, ideally 5TB Petabyte of user data if smaller data set (1TB or under), then the prospect must have simplicity as their #1 objective - small staff, need to lessen TCO, etc. if smaller data set then we will expand it 10x to 20x for POC Competitive advantage separates significantly over 20TB (the line of demarcation becomes clear as compared to competition) Company views data as a corporate asset (competitive advantage) Must be doing complex analysis Need to bring an application online fast

hair on fire type of scenario not meeting SLAs

47

2011 IBM Corporation

Information Management

What is a good prospect / IBM Netezza lead


Key attributes of opportunity are: migration, time to market, and flexibility no easier system to implement and change due to the low / non-existent physical modeling of IBM Netezza Current performance is ok but constant tuning is required Care and feeding costs are high Installed Oracle and Teradata shops that have hit the limit with existing technology that are using it for analytics, not OLTP Competing against ankle biters - GreenPlum (EMC), Vertica (HP), AsterData (TD)

48

2011 IBM Corporation

Information Management

Not a IBM Netezza Lead


Small data size (under 500 GB) - any modern data warehouse platform can optimize and perform under a TB - so unless simplicity is the key issue, walk away If they continually ask the same questions over and over - "what happened yesterday" without analytics / ad-hoc High concurrency - OLTP / ODS / and / or just 1,000s of users asking the same type of questions

Low percentage of true ad hoc usage


If there is no sponsor who is willing to change absolutely need a change agent if it is an ORCL / TD / MSFT / etc. shop. Not willing to invest several hundred thousand or million plus Dont perceive their data as a competitive advantage or key strategy in their business Be prepared to say NO

49

2011 IBM Corporation

IBM Netezza Solution Proposal & Proof of Concept (POC)


Solution Proposal is a formal presentation and meeting A CRUCIAL step in the competitive environment

Objectives: Gain concurrence on customer pain points Gain concurrence on vendor rules of engagement for POC (very important) Establish logistics of the POC Establish next steps and timelines based on agreed results and metrics
Proof of Concept (POC) Objectives: Prove IBM Netezzas claims, convert doubters Differentiate from the competition, set the bar for the competition Performed onsite, include IT and User community Focus on severe performance problem areas, using production volumes Focus on scenarios customer cannot currently execute Full Disclosure Report (FDR) Follows POC, Exec Level meeting to present results and gain concurrence Position for close and purchase order
