7 Reasons You Need Predictive Analytics Today – Eric Siegal, PhD (2010)
“Enterprise data is a priceless strategic asset because it represents the aggregate experience of an organization, the very history of its interactions with customers. Each customer response (or lack thereof), purchase decision, acquisition, outright defection, act of fraud, credit default, and complaint of a faulty product component provides the enterprise experience from which to learn.

Predictive analytics taps this rich vein of experience, mining it to automatically generate predictive models. Core analytical methods maximize model performance by tuning across training data. In this way, model generation is an act of learning from the experience encoded in data; the model itself is the deliverable that has been learned.”
