Focusing on the stakeholders and their needs is important because it reminds us that the RTBDA technology exists for a specific purpose: creating value from data.

There is presently no one-size-fits-all model, which makes sense when you consider that the interrelationships among people, processes and technologies within the RTBDA universe are still evolving.

David Smith writes a popular blog for Revolution Analytics on open source R, a programming language designed specifically for data analytics. He proposes a four-layer RTBDA technology stack. Although his stack is geared for predictive analytics, it serves as a good general model:
