What do people do with analytics?

Interesting little poll over on KD Nuggets today - readers were asked where they had applied data mining in the last 12 months. The top 5 were:

CRM (26.1% of respondents)

Banking (23.9%)

Direct Marketing/ Fundraising (20.3%)

Science (18.8%)

Fraud Detection (18.8%)

These sound about right for predictive analytics and enterprise decision management (EDM) too, though I am not sure the Science category would do as well if we were considering EDM. Interestingly Customers Service/CRM, Banking, Marketing and Fraud are all categories on the blog.
