Abstract
A method and system for mining a database for product migration analysis includes querying product usage data for a legacy product and a new product from the database as time series data. The product usage data is representative for a large number of consumers of the legacy and new products. A mathematical model may be used to determine a relationship between the two time series data. Product migration values and other features related to product migration, such as a transition period of product usage, may be estimated, determined or predicted.
Claims28
A method for mining a database for product migration analysis, comprising:
- applying a mathematical model to product usage data extracted from the database to reveal an association between product usage data for a legacy product and for a new product;
- and
- storing information indicative of the association on a storage device.
A computer system for processing product usage data in a database, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory media accessible to the processor, including processor executable instructions to:
- query product usage data from the database for both a legacy product and a new product, wherein the new product represents a replacement of the legacy product, and wherein the product usage data comprises a time series of usage values for a plurality of consumers;
- and
- apply a mathematical model to the product usage data to reveal a relationship between the legacy product and the new product.
A computer-readable memory medium including processor executable instructions for analyzing new product usage data and legacy product usage data, said instructions executable to:
- query the new product usage data and the legacy product usage data, and wherein the new and legacy product usage data are each a time series of usage values for a plurality of consumers;
- and
- determine a functional relationship between the new product usage data and the legacy product usage data.
