Privacy management tools help organizations conduct privacy impact assessments, check processing activities against requirements from privacy regulations, and track incidents that lead to unauthorized disclosures of personal data (investigation, remediation, reporting). They analyze and document data flows of personal information (nature of data, purpose of processing, data controller), support authoring and distribution of privacy policies (for which they provide templates) and track user awareness (users acknowledge having read the policies).

Printed semiconductors are fabricated by depositing materials directly onto a substrate, typically using a combination of printing processes that include inkjet and gravure printing. This has the potential to open new markets in which semiconductors are printed directly onto various surfaces. Diodes are the initial focus of the technology, and they will be followed by more complex transistor functions. RFID tags and sensors form a key market for printed semiconductors. Some electronic paper technology uses a variant of printed semiconductors.

This segment includes copiers and printers.
• Copiers — Copiers perform image capture and transfer. This category includes analog (optical technology) and digital (digital scanning and printing technology) copiers.
• Printers — A printer is the peripheral output device of a computer system for producing computer-generated images on paper using various marking technologies. To be classified in this segment, the device needs to be capable of using plain or coated papers with a minimum size of International Organization for Standardization A4, U.S. size A (letter) or continuous forms with an 8-inch print width or greater, but it excludes products that support paper widths above A2 or U.S. size C (17 inches by 22 inches). The definition also excludes other classes of application-specific printers, such as point-of-sale printers, video printers and dedicated photo printers.

A foundational technology that provides indications of the status and availability of contacts. Presence shows whether a participant is online, and may provide a description of that person’s status.

DBMS architectures were defined before relational theory became widely used. The prerelational DBMS generally is based on a hierarchical structure or a navigational (also known as network) structure.

Predictive support provides synchronous real-time intervention based on continuous monitoring and asynchronous trend analysis to prevent service-impacting events or incidents and guarantee performance and availability. Predictive services reach out to individual customer configurations before specific issues, which may be unknown and unpredictable, manifest themselves. The support provider proactively attempts to eliminate causes and mitigate contributory factors, where feasible and practical, within the scope of the defined support contract.

Predictive modeling is the process of analyzing data to create a statistical model of future behavior. Predictive modeling solutions are a form of data-mining technologies that work by analyzing historical and current data, and generating a model to help predict future outcomes. These technologies can be used to generate a score (for example, a credit score), to assess behavior (for example, fraud detection or customer acquisition), or to analyze needed reserves. Insurers can apply this to key activities, such as customer service, pricing, actuarial, underwriting and claims, to improve outcomes.

Predictive modeling is a commonly used statistical technique to predict future behavior. Predictive modeling solutions are a form of data-mining technology that works by analyzing historical and current data and generating a model to help predict future outcomes. In predictive modeling, data is collected, a statistical model is formulated, predictions are made, and the model is validated (or revised) as additional data becomes available. For example, risk models can be created to combine member information in complex ways with demographic and lifestyle information from external sources to improve underwriting accuracy. Predictive models analyze past performance to assess how likely a customer is to exhibit a specific behavior in the future. This category also encompasses models that seek out subtle data patterns to answer questions about customer performance, such as fraud detection models. Predictive models often perform calculations during live transactions—for example, to evaluate the risk or opportunity of a given customer or transaction to guide a decision. If health insurers could accurately predict secular trends (for example, utilization), premiums would be set appropriately, profit targets would be met with more consistency, and health insurers would be more competitive in the marketplace.
Industry:Technology
The use of techniques such as data mining, data visualization, algorithm clustering, and neural networking to find patterns or trends in data. These patterns or trends are used to forecast future behavior based on current or past behavior. Uses of predictive behavior analysis include identifying customers likely to drop out or default; identifying products customers are likely to buy next; developing customer segments or groups; and product development.

Predictive analytics describes any approach to data mining with four attributes:
1. An emphasis on prediction (rather than description, classification or clustering)
2. Rapid analysis measured in hours or days (rather than the stereotypical months of traditional data mining)
3. An emphasis on the business relevance of the resulting insights (no ivory tower analyses)
4. (increasingly) An emphasis on ease of use, thus making the tools accessible to business users.
