He shares how he starts with a big and bold vision, capitalises on technological innovations, and focuses relentlessly on satisfying customers underserved by larger incumbents by tailoring to their specific needs.

9.35am | Case Study Using Data Visualisation and Advanced Analytics to Power Your Business In the wake of the rising hype around AI and machine learning, advanced analytics has become a buzzword, something every enterprise wants to ‘do’. However, relatively little focus has been shed on the topic of enabling the consumption of such advanced analytical techniques. Ultimately, the results of analytics are bottlenecked by how easy they are to relate to and act upon by business stakeholders who do not have PhDs. We look at how Data Visualization can bridge this gap to ensure that the best that analytics has to offer can move beyond its theoretical moorings into valuable and actionable insights.We will follow-up by looking at how organizations are increasingly applying an analytics lens to improve the customer experience by taking the example of an eGrocer who employed Advanced Analytics to make personalized recommendations of items that customers might have forgotten to purchase at the time of checkout.Vivek Hinduja, Managing Director, Matrix & Vectors |

Edward Ling Business Manager, Waze Malaysia |
3.00pm | Case Study Wolves , Sheep and Sheepdogs: INFORMATION, FRAUD & PRIVACY RISKMany individuals in companies today believe that the threat of THEFT and FRAUD is coming from internal rather than external.Today, the irony is that information is power and yet it is so readily available. A classic scenario where potential theft or fraud may occur is when an Employee Resigns or is made Redundant.The latter is a common occurrence and yet we at the Companies are clueless on the activities of these folks when they have resigned. Even more astonishing is the fact that they still have access to all information of the Company despite not being there physically. Companies spent thousands and millions of dollars onprotecting the companies from external threat and very little or next to nothing on the threat that is coming from inside the Company.Resham Ganglani CEO Halodata International Pte Ltd and PT Halodata Indonesia |

How do we experience on its inner working or its functionality? Machine learning is defining specific tasking for the computers to find specific pattern or patterns using or exploring many algorithms in data sets. Asking computer to act or emulate human intelligence. Why do we need or use machine learning? Due to emergence and convergence of multi systems and fast changing of human behavior organization need to react and launch services that best fit in the market segment. It need to quickly launch it before the others. It need to tackle problem related to human behavior and assist organizations to avoid fraudulent cases. In this digital era machine learning is one of the talk of the town but does it really benefit the organizations or it’s just another technology hype or marketing gimmick. In conclusion, every part of the system now days will be a contributor for the machine learning ecosystem that could perhaps potentially bring benefits or disaster.Shahrizal Sulaiman, Head Digital Support (ITDigital), Celcom Axiata Berhad |
