In a interview, Marco Bressan says: We have a significant
amount of customer data, their obligations, and what we are trying
to do, first of all, is centralize this data, so we can look at it
and extract knowledge, extract information and translate that
knowledge and information into new services, better services for
our customers, etc. Therefore, the most important use of Big Data (
) is to extract information about our customers based on what they
do. Its not about doing a survey, go out and ask the client what
would he like, but to really see, for example, how is he using his
bank account, what kind of transactions he makes, what kind of life
he has, and try to give that customer a better service.the most
important use of Big Data The value of data 01 Marco Bressan,
Chairman & CEO BBVA Data & Analytics, explains in this
interview that their main goal is to capture the value ( ) of the
banks.capture the value In this sense, the business intelligence we
need in order to offer that better service is essential. Besides,
that knowledge of customers allows us to better assess the client
in relation to products such as credits, or to prevent fraud, for
example. See video Translate that knowledge in better services for
our customers INNOVATION TRENDS SERIE JANUARY 2015

Competing thanks to your knowledge of customers In BBVA we have
launched in Spain a pilot in which we are using the data of
payments for small and medium businesses in order to get a better
estimate of the risk of merchants when giving credits. Thanks to
this we are giving about 4% more loans, because we can adjust our
estimates, know our customers better and give them more credits.
That is clearly a consequence of knowing our customers better. In
an interview at the BBVA Innovation Center, Marco Bressan told us
that a very important part of what can be done with that knowledge,
with data, is precisely see what new products, what things can be
offered to customers. In this regard, he points out that one of
BBVAs current projects involves aggregating data, anonymizing it,
and sharing statistics. For example, we are working with
departments of Tourism to better understand the behavior of
tourists when visiting cities, their shopping behavior, in order to
improve the tourism infrastructure. In his opinion, companies are
working to understand ( ), for example, the impact of events. If I
organize a party in a city, if I host an important event, a
symposium, a conference, what is the commercial impact for the
city? All these are products that are generated based on data owned
by the bank, but with utility beyond the walls of the bank. working

How is the daily life of a data scientist? 0202 The daily life
of a team working on data analysis can be defined as a
multidisciplinary effort, because it is very difficult for a person
isolated in front of a computer to get all that information. The
key of the team is to have people working together in various
disciplines. Not only technological, statistical or mathematical
knowledge is required, but also scientists from different areas:
social, geographic, geopolitical, economic... Although it may seem
that we are working with a computer, it is a question of
mathematics and statistics. It's fun because it is a job that,
above all, exploits curiosity, creativity, exploration, trial and
error, explains Marco Bressan, Chairman & CEO at BBVA Data
& Analytics. The data scientist must have a scientific spirit,
because in his day-to-day the scientific approach is very
important: We have to work with data, get inside it and try to find
patterns and information that may become relevant. See video

Looking for a house is a major step in everyone's life. Manuel
Timita and Katya Koval were worried about how difficult it is to

Timita and Koval were faced with this issue in England, where
it is was very difficult to find information about the neighborhood
even though there was a lot of available information. This
information was increasingly more available and could even be
analyzed in an Excel document. However, viewing this data was not a
very intuitive experience for the user. Given this situation, the
project founders realized that the information should be displayed
on maps. This was when they had to find a geospatial solution view
for the problem. In fact, aside from the sales/purchase and rental
data from the propriety finder Nestoria, the project only uses
information from the UK Open Government Data portal. NestoriaUK

from different departments of the UK government, state institutions
and local authorities. British law grants free and perpetual access

Practical examples of Big Data use 0505 Big Data and Data are
two of the words most widely used nowadays in the innovation and
entrepreneurship ecosystem. However, do we know about specific
cases in which they have been used? ( ) specific cases in which
they have been used? This article will present some of these
practical examples, in areas as diverse as sports, politics or the
economy. From BBVA to Obama, from baseball to the Gay Pride Week in
Madrid, the use of data and its analysis to predict trends and
behavior is here to stay. In recent years we find some striking
examples of the use and analysis of Data and Big Data ( ) that
somehow serve to create new products, to predict behavior and
trends, to optimize marketing actions, etc. The following are worth
mentioning:examples of the use and analysis of Data and Big Data
Macy's and its prices in real times Macy's is one of the most
important retailers in the United States, and stands out for its e-
commerce. Using the SAS Institutute's technology, it has managed to
improve its revenue and the user's experience. Thanks to the speed
of analysis and the reports obtained with this new technology, they
haveSAS Institutute's technology reduced the annual cost of
analytics by 500,000 dollars. Today, Macy's is perfectly aware of
the impact of its newsletters and notifications, and has a better
idea of its most satisfied customers, of what they like and what
they don't... Today, the use of data enables it to segment its
deliveries to the maximum possible extent and send fewer e-mails,
but with much greater impact, and they have managed to reduce by up
to 20% the number of customers unsubscribing. Thanks to the use of
an algorithm and demand and inventory control, they can launch
cross-offers, adjust prices and offer discounts practically in real
time for their 73 million items on sale.use of data INNOVATION

Slide 12
Ball games and millions of data Nearly everybody has heard of
the film Moneyball: Breaking the Rules (2011), if not for Brad
Pitt's role, at least as an example of the use of Data. It happened
in the 2002 pre-season at the Oakland Athletics team of the U.S.
Major League Baseball. The sports manager Billy Beane
revolutionized the history of the club and possibly of sports in
general after recruiting a young economist, Peter Brand, who
brought new ideas. Together, they signed up undervalued, but
economically profitable players, using a very different selection
criterion. The intuition and knowledge of the talent scouts are
replaced by the conclusions of the analyses of statistics and
figures accumulated when it comes to establishing the team's needs
and the players that best meet those needs.. Today we have many
more cases where Big Data is used cases where Big Data is used ( )
in sports. NBA team have implemented the use of data for planning
strategies before each game. And the NFL itself has a platform
whose applications help the 32 teams to make the best decisions
based on data analytics: from the condition of the grass to weather
conditions, or information on each player's time at university...
everything is recorded and everything can be used to draw different
conclusions, for example, to prevent player injuries. Moreover, it
analyzes the preferences of fans thanks to its NFL Now application,
that offers them the possibility to create their own channel with
varied NFL content: fun videos, preferred cheerleaders, information
by team or by player, etc. They also use NetApp to store all this
data. In this way they can establish the demands of fans and it
also makes it easier to define marketing actions, expand the
market, find the most appropriate partners, etc See video

Obama's segmented campaign After his first term of office, the
U.S. president Barack Obama decided to use Big Data for his re-
election in 2012. A hundred people worked in the campaign's
analytics department. 50 worked full- time at the central offices,
another 30 mobilized across the different headquarters in the
country, and 20 were focused exclusively on interpreting the data
received.Obama decided to use Big Data After a first analysis, the
campaign's efforts focused on three aspects: registration
(collecting data from committed voters), persuasion (effectively
addressing hesitant voters) and electorate's vote (making sure that
supporters would vote). And for the first time, the three most
important teams of the election campaign (field, digital and
communication) worked with a strategy unified with the respective
data of each one. The driving force behind all this, the smart
platform used, was HP Vertica. The most effective actions offered
by this platform included collecting data on the field and
providing very fast feedback via e-mails by the online team (with
improved time and efficiency), or detecting the niches where TV
advertising would work best, cross-referencing voter data with
demographic data and information on audiences, advertising prices,
and programs (thus improving the impact and segmentation). This
their analytics, Obama's team optimized communication and improved
the response of Democratic voters, and avoided wasting resources,
time and money on voters who did not support their party. BBVA:
Mobile World Congress y Turismo Madrid BBVA has also conducted
several Big Data tests where attention was also paid to the display
of data to enable the information to be more understandable by
inexperienced viewers. The economic impact of the Mobile World
Congress was measured in Barcelona in 2012. To this end, data for
the transactions made using credit cards was extracted, both for
the previous week and for the week when the event took place.Mobile

The results revealed the places, days and times with more
activity, something, for example, that can help retail
establishments reinforce their marketing and sales actions for
similar events. It can also help cities do the same with their
tourist promotions. Another example is the study conducted by BBVA
on the analysis of credit card usage in Spain during Easter week in
2011 in four sectors: markets and food, bars and restaurants,
fashion and gas stations.of credit card usage One last example is
the work carried out together with the Madrid City Council. Under
the title Tourism Dynamics in the City of Madrid, it analyzes the
shopping behavior of tourists in 2012. Among the many results, the
study quantified the economic impact of Gay Pride in various areas
of the city. Shopping spending increased by 24% on the same week of
the previous month. It also provides other interesting data, for
example, the tourists who spend the most, what they spend their
money on, where they go, etc.Tourism Dynamics in the City of Madrid
Data and Big Data are changing many things, not only when it comes
