3 Project Introduction! Organisation! National Retail Bank offering a full range of banking products! >5 Million Customers! >10 Million Contracts! >30 Million Transactions per month! Issues! Traditional approaches to grow the business often not profitable " unprofitable customers " customer retention often poor! New Product lines often shown not to be profitable! Poor targeting causes acquisition cost to be high! Objectives! Build a strategic capability! Develop an integrated set of indicators to judge performance of individual customers! Integrate segmentation model to enable assessment of individual segments! Ensure data is comprehensive - integrating data from silos as required! Ensure the solution enables business desk-top use! Demonstrate results quickly! Single Customer View in Banking - 13/06/02 - I. Jennings / 3

7 The Solution - Provide a desk-top capability that supports three alternate perspectives Product and Campaign Evaluation Product Internal Organisation Return on Investment Customer Customer Profitability Single Customer View in Banking - 13/06/02 - I. Jennings / 7

8 The Approach - Design - Build - Implementation Proof of Concept Launch Proof of Concept Design Proof of Concept Build Product Evaluation Concept Approved SAS Selected Integrate indicators, segmentation Prepare Data Sample! test ideas! identify issues/complexity! show sponsors and team members what they will get! build buy-in Prototype! test processes! understand training issues Confirm Scope Prototype Design Prototype Build Prototype Implementation Single Customer View in Banking - 13/06/02 - I.

9 Proof Of Concept! Things to prove! status of data! which data mining and analytic software solution could meet the task! how data could be analysed! how to integrate recently developed segmentation model and other performance indicators! Design! Select number of indicators! Sub-set of marketing data! Development of solution structure! Development of calculation model Proved feasibility and gave fundamental design input for prototype Single Customer View in Banking - 13/06/02 - I. Jennings / 9

10 Prototype! Solution Design! Solution involves the development of two applets " Administrator tool - build data sample " Execution tool - select indicators and execute analysis! Primary output is a data file! Tools to be available on the desk-top! Use both Finance and Marketing data! Data is obtained on a query " a data warehouse / data mart will not be developed for the prototype! Use of SAS Enterprise Guide! Operational benefits! 1st time an individual can obtain performance information without waiting for IT development! Individual capability on the desktop! Integrates the majority of relevant data! Query basis prevented the need for development of a data warehouse and/or data mart for this stage Prove feasibility and estimate effort for the full solution Single Customer View in Banking - 13/06/02 - I.
