Abstract
This case illustrates the challenges in implementing data analytics in a small and medium enterprise (SME). An SME in Singapore, *The Cage runs a sports facilities rental business that has adopted basic data analytics (DA) and enjoyed the benefits DA offers. Since implementing enterprise resource planning (ERP) in 2016 for their business processes, it now has readily available financial and customer data. Using available data from its ERP system, The Cage now wants to incorporate more advanced data analytics into its decision-making process. While The Cage acknowledges the impact of data analytics on its business, it encounters practical challenges in the data lifecycle, namely, data discovery, data collection, analysis and modelling building, and data governance. The data analytics process chain at The Cage is currently at a basic level.
This case requires students to assume the role of Consultants to The Cage. The discussion questions at the end of the case are intended to help students display their understanding of the case so as to make recommendations to address DA issues and resolve the challenges.
