Predictive Analytics Resource Guide FAQ

What is the Predictive Analytics Resource Guide?
The Predictive Analytics Resource Guide focuses on helping business and IT professionals understand the costs, benefits, risks, and best practices related to Predictive Analytics. The vast majority of information available to this audience is "noise" - content designed to influence users' thinking or to sell something. We identify, categorize and present high-value Resources - the vast majority of which business and IT professionals will never find. By using the Predictive Analytics Resource Guide, these users learn much more about all aspects of Predictive Analytics in much less time.

Why use the Predictive Analytics Resource Guide?
  • Save time
  • Discover great new resources
  • Spend time enjoying great content instead of looking for it
  • Say goodbye to spam, mediocre content, and deceptive sites.
What sites and content will I not find in the Predictive Analytics Resource Guide?
We do not include Resources that:
  • Are spam sites
  • Have deceptive or overbearing advertising
  • Are largely advertorial (for example: containing primarily promotional material for vendors)
  • Give the appearance of participating in phishing or any other type of malicious activity ("phishing" being the fraudulent acquisition of sensitive personal information by masquerading as a trustworthy entity)
  • Are of unknown origin (i.e. we cannot establish who operates the site)
  • Require payment to access content
Are there Resource Guides on other IT Topics?
The publishers of the Predictive Analytics Resource Guide, NorthPage Research (that's us), produce several additional IT Resource Guides which can be found here.
