​Hi Ben,

I think it is AVEVA. It is actually a company owned by Schneider-Electric. They decided to keep the name AVEVA in order to avoid the hardware connotation because they are targeting the software business and analytics in particular.

Wadda ya think? If they do like Tableau’s take over by Salesforce and leave it alone, it’s good. Don’t know what’s gonna be if the start making changes.

One more from another analytics community member, Sashi Sridhar! She’s on the customer side of things, and did some visualizations for customer arrears and call center volume. From Sashi:

Clicking on the individual rows for the zip code on the left navigation  highlight the zip code on the map and hovering over the highlighted zipcode provides details like total and average arrears for that zip code.

Users are also able to filter the data based on the various criteria using the filters on the right.

The visualization below shows the % of inbound calls by intent from customers with arrears as of July 29^th.

On this one instead of going up against the traditional call log I wrote a NLP query that classifies the calls based on the remarks entered by reps since we could not identify the customers based the call log itself since almost 50%  customers did not identify themselves through the CIVR and we had no way to connect them to their arrears.

 

The dates of the  marketing communications to customers are annotated in this visualization

Subject: Introducing… Best Visualization of the Month Contest – August 2020

Dear UAI Members,

In collaboration with the UAI Connect Ambassadors — a team of member volunteers that help drive engagement and encourage member collaboration on UAI Connect — UAI will be implementing a new monthly contest on the Ask Your Network forum on UAI Connect. Each month, we will post a themed “Best Visualization of the Month” contest. The monthly theme will be selected by our UAI Connect Ambassadors. We also encourage you to submit your ideas for monthly themes on an ongoing basis. You can submit those to me at lcook@utilityanalytics.com or just post your ideas on the Ask Your Network discuss forum.

This monthly contest is set-up to encourage you to post your data visualizations in regard to the given month’s theme. All during the month, we hope you will reply to that month’s contest post to share your data visualizations (no matter how simple, functional, elaborate, or complicated) and include a short description as it relates to your visualization. You can attached your visualization to your reply or embed it within the reply.

One week prior to the end of the month, we will reply to the post with a survey link that will poll members to select their favorite visualization. When selecting your favorite each month, consider criteria like, how automated is the visualization, where is the visualization pulling the data, how easy is the visualization to understand, etc. (of course this criteria is not required, but we wanted to pass along some example criteria to consider while selecting your favorite visualization).

We will close the poll at the end of the day on the last business day of the month. We will announce the member favorite at the beginning of the next month. The member favorite will receive pride and glory, bragging rights, and a $10 Starbucks gift card! Our hope is this will be a valuable monthly exercise that is an opportunity to share and learn from one another, help encourage a little spirit of competition, and that you will have some fun!

The first monthly “Best Visualization of the Month” theme for August is COVID 19 Dashboards! Please reply, starting now, to this post to share your internal visualizations that you use to track COVID 19. I will send out a survey link on Monday, August 24, 2020 to submit your votes for your favorite visualization for August. I will announce the member favorite visualization on Tuesday, September 1, 2020 and I will also post the next theme on this day.

Let the games begin!

Have fun,

     Leslie
