Many Data Scientists will have advanced training or experience in areas such as Statistics, Maths or Computer Sciences. The skills earned during this training add significant value to any business. Here are some of the ways that companies benefit from appointing data scientists.
Mitigating risk
For most businesses, mitigating risk and fraud is a priority in order to operate with compliance. Data Scientists are trained to identify any anomalies within a data pool. They can build statistical, network, path, and big data methodologies for predictive fraud propensity models, and then use these to create automated alerts that help ensure a more rapid response when unusual data is detected. Long term this can save time, money and resources.
Using data to help sell
Product based companies seek a great advantage with the use of a data scientist as they are able to find statistics on when and where their products sell best, increasing the operations of any business by ensuring they are able to deliver the right products at the optimum selling time and even know when to develop new products to meet their consumer demands.
Targeting consumers
Data Scientists can identify personalised customer experiences that can add huge value to businesses. Sales and marketing teams can use this information to understand their audience on a very granular level. With this extra data and information, the company is able to create the best possible customer experience.

Continuous improvements
As data scientists examine and explore the company’s data they are then able to prescribe certain actions that will help improve the organisations performance, better engage customers and ultimately increasing the profitability as a result through the optimization of its data.
Finding opportunities
With constant access to the company’s current analytics system, data scientists are able to question the exiting methods and processes within the organisation in order to identify ways these can be developed and improved to create additional analytical algorithms. Their job requires them to continuously and constantly improve value that is taken from the organisations data allowing the company to become more efficient.
Making decisions with quantifiable evidence
As data scientists are able to gather and analyse data from various channels it can mean that the risks of making big decisions can be reduced. Data scientists are able to create models using existing data that stimulate a variety of potential actions; this allows them to learn which path will bring the best outcome in terms of the business.
Measuring the success of decisions
It isn’t worth making decisions and testing different methods within the business unless there is a detailed way of measuring the outcomes. By having a data scientist it allows you to be able to know the key metrics that are related to the important changes and decisions you’ve made in order to quantify their success.
Identifying a company’s audience
The utilisation of customer data is extremely important in order for a company to gain its full potential by being able to identify their audience accurately and supplying it’s interests and demands. If the data isn’t used well then it almost becomes totally useless. The importance of data science is based on the ability to take that data and combine it with other data points; it can then be generated accurate and more useful insights to build a better and more specific picture of the company’s consumers as well as to learn about their behaviour.
