Real-Time in the Real World: Building a State of the Art Real-Time Analytics Platform

Protecting and growing the profitability of any company is always top of mind for business stakeholders. Technology teams must be flexible and creative in their approach in order to produce technical infrastructures that will drive business results. Find out how Enova International built an automated real-time and data-driven, decision-making machine called the Colossus platform, drove $7 million in incremental profitability within the first year, and launched the platform as a predictive analytics service through its Enova Decisions brand to serve clients that want to make fast, data-driven decisions at scale. We’ll explore how developing real-time decisions around fraud, underwriting, payments, and operations can improve the customer experience and contribute to business success while touching on lessons learned throughout the development process.

What You’ll Learn
