Anticipating behaviour can be troublesome.
The path to predictive intelligence maturity can be filled with organisation and technology challenges.
Discovering new audiences.
Poor data modelling.
Siloed data.
Predicting customer behaviour.
Reach new heights with predictive analytics done right.
Predictive intelligence from machine learning and artificial intelligence allows you to transform real-time audience behaviour into more rewarding, relevant future experiences.
Smarter audience insights.
Predictive analytics helps you to identify your most valuable audience segments through data clustering and machine learning, driving a deeper understanding of what will happen and enabling you to create and deliver more effective, personalised experiences.
Improved vision from a unified customer profile.
Predictive models are incredibly powerful when based on a unified customer profile, helping to identify the most important insights that lead to more effective optimisation of your customer experiences across channels.
Propensity models that predict success.
Predictive intelligence tools often include propensity models that can predict a customer's likelihood to convert or churn. It can also help you to identify and understand anomalies in your data and how to respond to them.
Future engagements turn into conversions.
With advanced attribution models, mobile app analytics and real-time data feeds informing your decisions, you're better equipped to anticipate their next move and meet them with the right message, content and offer at the right time.

Predictive Analytics FAQs.
How does predictive analytics help identify audiences?
The analytics engine analyses large variable sets simultaneously to dynamically categorise your visitors and create audiences for further analysis, targeting and personalisation.
Do I need to set rules for predictive analytics to display the dimensions we need to see?
Using Adobe Analytics, you can either use predefined latency tables or create ad hoc attribution models to customise data visualisations.
Can I discover which experiences and content contributed to an event or conversion?
With the right solution you can. The predictive capabilities in Adobe Analytics include a contribution analysis engine that identifies the “differences that make the difference”.
How is predictive analytics better than our forecasting models?
Rather than relying on aggregate purchase data, predictive analytics give you a propensity score for each customer interaction, which can be used to develop your forecasting models with greater accuracy.
Can Adobe's predictive analytics engine sync with third-party data sources?
Yes. You can get a refined and unified picture of customer interactions across channels by combining experiential data with other customer data sources.
Are data mining and machine learning different?
Yes. Data mining is the process of extracting insights from datasets. Machine learning is the capability of computers to learn without programmer intervention.
