Company Profile
Servicesfrom data preparation to Business Intelligence
http://www.datamine.gr
Data preparation, DW & Reporting
A wide range of specialized services providing the basis for successful CRM, MIS and decision making: a
robust repository for customer data and business performance measurement
Data CleansingA set of services towards a reliable, enterprise-wide, data
Store. Includes Data Quality assessment against existing
data sources, cleansing strategies, suitable
transformations, matching algorithms as well as
techniques for automation of the resulting logic. Physical
Customer Identification and Phone standardization using
advanced, rule-based approaches, are typical examples of
this set of services
Data Mart DesignDesign of special schemes that capture all aspects
of the customer through attributes, behavioural data, buying
history and contact events, in report-optimized data
structures. Datamine provides services ranging from initial
Data mart design and dimensional modelling to
deployment (initialization) and synchronization
ETL & AutomationSpecialized services towards robust data integration.
Datamine designs and implements ETL (Extract,
Transform and Load) components in order to ensure
reliable data collection, transformation and deployment.
Our ETL also include data mining - related
transformations (for further modelling) as well as
generation of new variables, category schemes or other
metrics and aggregation figures
Data MigrationSpecialized processes that enable data transfer from
legacy systems to new platforms. Our approach is based
on the output of Data Quality Assessment and Cleansing
procedures, in order to ensure that data is not only
transferred but also validated and/or normalized against
certain data and/or business logic

Analytical CRM
Datamine applies classical statistical analysis, data mining and machine learning techniques enabling
effective decision making, sophisticated CRM logic along with high-levels of automation
The Marketing DatabaseDatamine proposes this specialized database as
a single point of reference regarding customers, within the
enterprise: a global source of customer intelligence (from
Simple demographics to buying or usage patterns,
scores, classifications, churn and „propensity to buy‟
estimates) accompanied by marketing activities such as
promotions, campaigns, loyalty schemes and special
offers
Profiling & SegmentationWe see customer profiling & segmentation as the key-step
towards customer understanding and customer base
insight. At a macro level, well defined segments and
robust customer profiles enable efficient monitoring of the
customer base and it‟s synthesis versus time and market
conditions. At a micro level, better understanding of each
single customer enables more efficient campaigns,
targeted offers and intelligent communication strategies
Social Network AnalysisAdvanced data modelling and analysis able to identify and
quantify interactions among customers (CDR for a telco,
emailing for ISPs) and further unveil structures within the
customer base. „Cliques‟ and „opinion leaders‟ can be tracked
and used for customer base dynamics as well as for „word of
mouth‟ strategies. SNA implemented through advanced
multidimensional models extends the „static‟ view of your
customers towards „customer‟s network value‟
Customer SatisfactionA set of services for integrating, analyzing and modeling
consumer feedback. The resulting wealth of customer
information provides capabilities for analysis and
modeling that will boost both CRM and DSS functions of
the enterprise: at a management level, satisfaction KPIs
versus time, POS, customer segment and profile, may be
used as the core components for standard business
performance monitoring

Delivering Analytics - MIS
Datamine offers great amount of flexibility regarding package and delivery of customer intelligence to the
business community: Standard reporting, OLAP models, commercial packages or datamine‟s products
Reporting & AnalysisDatamine offers services that cover complex reporting
needs. We see reporting as a layer providing business
value to the amount of information stored in your
legacy systems and/or data warehouse. Our reporting
solutions are fully customized to specific customer
requirements and are accessible through standard web
Interfaces, thus enabling powerful integration scenarios
OLAP ReportingDynamic, multidimensional reporting solutions enabling
the end user to define the desired view against the
underlying data. Datamine combines both
multidimensional and relational data access thus providing
high performance solutions with outstanding flexibility and
extensibility. Our proposal for OLAP clients ranges from
MS Excel to Datamine‟s CBE – depending on customer
needs
Real time customer assessmentSpecialized Web services enable each system of the
enterprise to submit „questions‟ to the customer
„intelligence infrastructure‟. Each question is conceived as a
„customer assessment request‟, served from the
corresponding business policy. Datamine treats Consumer
Credit Risk, Customer (network) value, Satisfaction levels,
usage & behavioural patterns as essential input for effective
customer evaluation & „treatment‟
Executive InformationDatamine offers effective top management information
through a specialized solution combining dashboards,
scorecards, customized views, KPIs and business
performance metrics. All this delivered in a regular fashion
through web or alternative channels. Subscription services
enable customization and monitoring (auditing) of the
information flow
http://www.datamine.gr
Information Technology Services
Datamine treats analytical models and BI applications as core components of modern Business
Information Systems. Effective packaging and integration is our primary concern
I.T. ServicesProfessional services from requirement analysis,
business processes modeling, system architecture,
database design & optimization to business
layer modeling and user interface design, following
approaches that comply with well known standards and
specifications such as UML, RUP or the latest eXtreme
Programming (XP) model
Enterprise Application IntegrationEnsuring a collaborative infrastructure that utilizes both
modern and legacy applications is critical in today‟s
competitive and dynamic business environment. EAI
supports the sharing of data and business processes
among the enterprise. Datamine can help you unify a part
or all of the legacy systems and move to the “universal”
client model
Software EngineeringWindows & Back-end Application Development
using a range of 3rd generation programming languages
and rapid development tools, from Java and .NET
(VB.NET, C#) to pure C++ (MFC, ATL).
Web & Distributed Application Development using
technologies including Java Server Pages, ASP.NET,
PHP, Web Services, Smart Clients
Process ModellingModern organizations adopt process-oriented business
models and put emphasis on modeling, implementation
and management of efficient business processes that cut
across organizational boundaries and bring value to the
customer. We treat Business Process Management both
as the key technology towards the „real time, customer-centric‟
corporation and as the appropriate platform for managing
performance
Solutions & Productsfrom churn & loyalty to campaign management and consumer credit risk
http://www.datamine.gr
Analytical Applications
Applications that adds value to the „marketing database‟ and make use of the intelligence generated.
They both consume and produce analytical information thus enriching the overall infrastructure
Churn ManagementWe set the basis by accurately measuring the churn
phenomenon itself (types of churn, reasons, procedures)
against time and other critical factors. We then provide
Churn evolution figures against advanced customer
profiling enabling business experts to define questions
and assumptions on the critical factors. Our predictive
modelling completes the solution by estimating churn
probabilities for each single customer
Loyalty SchemesLoyalty refers to more than a „member‟s card‟: loyalty
schemes should be sophisticated enough in order to enable
efficient customer selection, targeted offerings, integrated
performance assessment through advanced reporting and
embedded analysis. We treat Loyalty as a system on the
top of the „marketing database‟ that uses customer
Intelligence to better serve your clients enabling long
-lasting relationships
Customer Base MonitoringSpecialized reporting with a different perspective: at a
macro level, the evolution of the customer base in terms
of synthesis, penetration, segments and relevant
transition probabilities may unveil significant trends,
market changes, risks or opportunities. Standardized KPIs
along with dynamic reporting and browsing capabilities
are necessary for monitoring and maintaining the quality
of your customer base
Complaint ManagementA new communication channel between your company
and your customers. Covers the needs of complaint
handling, process assessment, reporting, monitoring and
analysis. Adds value to data warehouse and relative
systems through customer satisfaction metrics that
enhance CRM related procedures. Includes workflow
components, advanced OLAP reporting

WEB Analytics
Advanced data manipulation, analysis and modeling components aiming in identification of patterns in
large volume of web-related data (traffic, click stream)
Traffic DatabaseTraffic consists of the set of data that describe in detail
every single user-portal interaction. A usually complex,
large volume data set including log file info, session
specific data, content structure. Datamine applies
advanced pre-processing and transformation logic in
order to generate suitable aggregations, statistics and figures
that will further feed data mining modeling processes. A
valuable database for reporting and general-purpose analysis
Recommendation EngineDatamine‟s RE combines modelling with suitable
software components in order to automate the „learning‟
process and provide instant access to automated
recommendations. RE determines suitable material
(content, links, listings etc) for the specific user and the
specific session. The „suitability‟ of the material is
estimated from data mining algorithms which process
large volumes of data and identify „hidden‟ relationships
Portal IntegrationIntegration with the portal is achieved through a set of
web services regarding the on-line communication and
through a package of ETL components regarding offline
data feed. The off-line components collect information
from other systems involved, and apply all the predefined
validation checks, transformation, standardization or other
data preparation task automatically
PersonalizationOur approach combine customer analytics and web
traffic data in order to calibrate a web-site in terms of
information / content served or services/ functionality
enabled. The key input is based on user navigational
patterns, their profiles and their declared preferences.
Personalization improves customer experience and may
dramatically Increase customer (user) satisfaction & Loyalty,
usage boost, cross-selling & up-selling opportunities
