It is designed to succeed similar technology that is already in use.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This \u201capplies to hardware, software, networks and combined technologies\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In the domain of analytics, this definition could be extended to <em>a new, unused, unapplied, untested alternative to existing practices which offers functional advantages for better business ROI.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Disruptive technologies in analytics may not necessarily be a cheaper solution. Rather it suggests that on deployment, the technology offers business value and efficacy by solving problems faster. Such technologies encourage continued exponential improvements in performance and core competency, rewriting rules of businesses, creating new markets and generally fostering deep analytics talent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technologies that have \u2018Disrupted\u2019 Analytics<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/blog\/2014\/05\/10\/what-you-need-to-know-about-cloud-computing\/\">Cloud computing<\/a><\/strong> is an early disruptive technology, that has emerged as an integral system for most\u00a0industry verticals (BFSI, <a href=\"https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/blog\/2014\/07\/11\/what-drives-analytics-in-healthcare\/\">healthcare<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/blog\/2014\/09\/10\/how-analytics-is-used-in-e-governance\/\">e-governance<\/a>, and so on) &#8211; with embedded analytic engines into the various solutions and service delivery mechanisms<\/li>\n<li><strong>Embedded sensors<\/strong>, in smartphone devices, wearables (bracelets, jogging shoes, sports and so on) or POS (point-of-sales) terminals enable collection of user data for analysis.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Disruptive Online Advertising<\/strong> like Google Ads, or targeted ads by Flipkart \/ other digital marketers based on browser behavior, aim to deliver marketing ROI<\/li>\n<li><strong>Disruptive <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/blog\/2014\/06\/09\/how-to-gain-business-insight-with-crm-customer-relation-management-analytics\/\"><strong>CRM<\/strong> (Customer Relationship Management)<\/a> apps in mobile phones facilitate realtionship building with\u00a0the customer, for customer retention and building predictive models<\/li>\n<li><strong>Web 2.0<\/strong> &#8211; of which social media and blogs is an integral part &#8211; is a pervasive disruptive innovation that has made the online community collaborative and interactive for two-way customer engagement, targeted content and advertising<a href=\"https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/blog\/2014\/03\/11\/spotlight-social-media-analytics\/\">.

As many of the disruptive technologies merge seamlessly, analytic applications are also becoming ubiquitous across the various channels and devices.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, banking companies are harnessing cloud computing services for storage and harvesting of data, on-demand BI services and fraud detection with embedded data analytics software; using social media and mobile for CRM and business growth.\u00a0 In retail and digital marketing sectors, innovative algorithms and progressive applications leverage disruptive technologies (cloud, embedded apps and sensors, social media, disruptive online advertising, mobile internet) for predicting demand, improving products and services, targeting customers, increasing sales and business ROI.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bottomline<\/strong> \u2013Analytics, especially in the era of Big Data, is unthinkable without disruptive technologies.
