The Value of Data Visualization
In this brief video, Dr. David Cieslak, Chief Data Scientist at Aunalytics, discusses the value that data visualization brings to data analytics. Whether you’re using a simple tool such as Excel or a BI software such as Tableau, creating a visual representation of your data allows it to be consumed by a much broader and less technical audience. Whether you’re a marketing specialist, a loan officer, or a bank president, a well-designed and up-to-date dashboard greatly improves your ability to understand and work with your data in a way that lists and spreadsheets can’t.
Aunalytics’ Daybreak Dashboards for Financial Institutions offer a variety of data visualization options such as the Customer Profile dashboard, which provides a 360-degree view of each customer, the Lending KPI dashboard, which provides overall and detailed lending performance across your organization, and the Marketing KPI dashboard, which allows for targeted campaigns to reach the right customer at the right time with the right product. With Aunalytics, you get the technology and the expertise required to turn your disparate data into easily understandable insights through the Daybreak Dashboards.
David Cieslak, PhD, is the Chief Data Scientist at Aunalytics since its inception and leads its Innovation Lab in the development and delivery of complex algorithms designed to solve business problems in the manufacturing/supply chain, financial, healthcare, and media sectors. Prior to Aunalytics, Cieslak was on staff at the University of Notre Dame as part of the research faculty where he contributed on high value grants with both the federal government and Fortune 500 companies. He has published numerous articles in highly regarded journals, conferences, and workshops on the topics of Machine Learning, Data Mining, Knowledge Discovery, Artificial Intelligence, and Grid Computing.
How An End-to-End Analytics Solution Helps You Avoid Hidden Costs
As the new year approaches, digital transformation should be at the top of every mid-market organization’s to-do list. As organizations begin to understand the value of business analytics for their daily operations, the need for an end-to-end analytics solution becomes evident. Yet, many companies struggle to obtain the right analytics solutions to fit their specific needs.
Unfortunately, the analytics solution market can be difficult to navigate. Since building an analytics tool in-house is incredibly time-consuming and very costly, many mid-market companies would be better served by working with a solution provider who can provide both the tools and talent necessary to achieve their business goals.
Digital Transformation Roadblocks
One major roadblock in the pursuit of digital evolution is determining how much an analytics solution is going to cost. Analytics solutions are complex, and when an analytics company gives a quote, they often fail to mention additional add-ons their solution needs to be functional. For instance, charges for a third-party cloud to host your analytics solution and individual charges for connectors that allow your disparate data sources to flow into the solution are the most common up-charges.
Your organization could get stuck with unexpected licensing fees or overage charges from a third-party cloud provider. Worse yet, you may end up piecing together various technologies, while lacking the adequate technical talent to keep the solution functioning and show actionable results. To achieve value from your investment, it is vital to look for a partner that can provide you with a solution where extra charges do not come into play. Budgets are an integral part of the decision-making process when it comes time to choose a solution provider.
With hidden costs, figuring out how a particular solution is going to fit into your budget becomes increasingly difficult. The most effective solution is opting for a partner who can provide your company with an end-to-end analytics solution.
Why Mid-Market Organizations Need End-to-End Analytics Solutions
To compete with larger institutions, mid-market organizations need to leverage their existing local data to gain insights to better serve their clients. An end-to-end solution ensures you do not end up with a solution your team cannot utilize to achieve your business goals and thrive in an increasingly competitive market.

Daybreak Allows Financial Institutions to Increase Wallet Share with Competitor Payment Smart Feature
In the competitive financial services landscape, increasing revenue through new customer acquisition alone is a challenge. According to the Harvard Business Review, it can be anywhere from five to 25 times more expensive to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing one. While new customer acquisition is important, retention and expansion of existing relationships should be a high priority—especially during economic downturns when reducing costs is imperative. A recent report by Bain & Company states, “In financial services, a 5% increase in customer retention produces more than a 25% increase in profit. Why? Return customers tend to buy more from a company over time.” Therefore, it makes sense for community banks and credit unions to focus on retention and increasing wallet share of existing customers.
Winning Back Business by Identifying Competitor Payments
Many community bank customers and credit union members utilize multiple financial institutions for various products. They may have a checking or savings account at their local bank or credit union, but an IRA account at a large, national investment firm, or a loan through another financial institution. By identifying which customers have external accounts and which products they may have through other institutions, community banks and credit unions can take steps to win back that business and increase wallet share of their existing customers and members. Daybreak‘s Competitor Payments Smart Feature mines transactional data and uses AI algorithms to flag external products with competing financial institutions on all active customers/members. These insights can be used to make more attractive targeted offers to win back business.
Watch the video below to see how banks and credit unions can utilize Daybreak’s Competitor Payments insights to win back business from competing institutions:
In addition to providing the ability to discover competitor payment insights in transactional data, Daybreak allows community banks and credit unions to compete with large financial institutions by…
- Understanding customers,
- Optimizing processes, and
- Revealing actionable insights.

Does Your Mid-Market Firm Have the Right Talent to Maximize Its Data Tech Investments?
Does Your Mid-Market Firm Have the Right Talent to Maximize Its Data Tech Investments?
Investing in digital transformation technologies can be a waste of money if your company forgets one important point. That point is, no matter how cutting edge the tech or tool may be, people are needed with specific technical expertise in order to derive true business value from these investments.
Unlike large enterprises, mid-market companies often try to find this expertise in their IT manager, hoping a jack-of-all-trades approach will take care of it. This is an unfortunate mistake, since it would require the IT manager to have unusual command over a long laundry list of duties, from data integration, ingestion, and preparation to data security, regulatory compliance, data science, and building pipelines of data ready for executive reporting from multiple cloud and on-premises environments. This is not just a tall order for a mid-market IT manager to pull off, but likely an impossible one.
