We do this by ‘fusing’ 3 concepts – the Data Warehouse, the Predictive Modeling System and Campaign Management – into a single software suite designed for marketers, by marketers.

Use EXACASTER To …•Reduce churn. Exacaster finds the best target groups for retention by analyzing historical customer behavior and identifying the most risky customers. Then, Exacaster measures the impact of different retention offers and allows selection of the best ones for each customer group.
• Up-sell additional products/services. Exacaster creates a sound data-driven and statistically rigorous basis for all up-sell decisions by predicting customers with best conversion rates for a particular product.
• Identify the optimal additional products/services for a target group. Exacaster selects which offers should be sent to the desired target group, optimizing for conversion rates, revenue increase or other goals.
• Test the business case of new products/services by distributing an offer to a random group of customers, measuring the impact and establishing the potential in the remaining customer base.
• Measure branding activities. By comparing customers who are exposed to branding activities vs. control group, clear value of brand activities can be established.

How “Big Data” Revolutionizes Marketing
The key is machine learning
The combination of large volumes of raw
data with automated analysis provides
marketers with the possibilities to identify
regularities not easily discoverable before.
By constantly analyzing your current and
historical data, the system becomes very
good at spotting patterns in data – much
better, in fact, than human analysts.
More about machine learning
ML is a class of mathematical algorithms capable of “learning” from their own “experience”, such as neural networks, SVM and more. They are often used by well known brands, such as Amazon product recommendations; Google AdWords targeting; Apple voice recognition, credit card fraud detection and elsewhere.
Model and Rule Driven CampaignsHow does it work?
Raw CDR level data is loaded daily to Exacaster.
Data files are split by brand to support multiple brands on the same application.
Algorithms analyze vast amounts of data, detect patterns and automatically learn from experience.
Manual business rules are also suported.
The algorithm calculates a score for each subscriber.
Score is updated weekly or monthly.
A target group + control group is made available for retention or up-sell activities.
Campaign results for target and control groups are tracked automatically.
