The advent of price and product comparison sites now makes it even more important to retain customers and identify those that might be at risk of leaving. The use of data mining methods has been widely advocated for predicting customer churn. This paper presents two case studies that utilize decision tree learning methods to develop models for predicting churn for a software company. The first case study aims to predict churn for organizations which currently have an ongoing project, to determine if organizations are likely to continue with other projects. While the second case study presents a more traditional example, where the aim is to predict organizations likely to cease being a subscriber to a service. The case studies include presentation of the accuracy of the models using a standard methodology as well as comparing the results with what happened in practice. Both case studies show the significant savings that can be made, plus potential increase in revenue by using decision tree learning for churn analysis.

With the further reform and market division in the telecommunication industry, there are more and more choices for customers to select telecom products and operators, which lead to the fiercer competition for customers between telecom operators. As the technical method to identify customers churn, the data mining can help the telecom competitors to analyze some seemingly unrelated data into meaningful information. On the basis of the research on the vital problems in the telecom companies, this paper explains how to apply data mining techniques to customer churn analysis, proposes the specific procedures and technology solutions to prevent the customer churn and builds the models of the data mining by analyzing the related algorithm. Finally, based on the systematical analysis on theory and method to data mining, the paper draws the conclusion that the customers churn listing and tree algorithm can solve the practical problems of the customer churn in telecommunication industry.

One of the tasks in the field of marketing finance is to analyze customer data to find out which customers have the potential to do credit again. The method used to analyze customer data is by classifying all customers who have completed their credit installments into marketing targets, so this method causes high operational marketing costs. Therefore this research was conducted to help solve the above problems by designing a data mining application that serves to predict the criteria of credit customers with the potential to lend (credit) to Mega Auto Finance. The Mega Auto finance Fund Section located in Kotim Regency is a place chosen by researchers as a case study, assuming the Mega Auto finance Fund Section has experienced the same problems as described above. Data mining techniques that are applied to the application built is a classification while the classification method used is the Decision Tree (decision tree). While the algorithm used as a decision tree forming algorithm is the C4.5 Algorithm. The data processed in this study is the installment data of Mega Auto finance loan customers in July 2018 in Microsoft Excel format. The results of this study are an application that can facilitate the Mega Auto finance Funds Section in obtaining credit marketing targets in the future
