Are Advanced Analytics Possible without a Data Scientist?

Data scientists are in high demand and companies are frantically looking for ways of overcoming the costs and shortage of experienced data science talent. To help solve this problem, both established and new start-up vendors are introducing products that claim to enable business users to do advanced and predictive analytics without the assistance of a data scientist.

The Three Pillars of Agile Data Integration: Self Service, Rapid Data Set Prototyping, and Data Stewardship

Agile development methods—as applied in data disciplines—have experienced strong adoption by users in recent years, and for good reason. As more organizations “run the business” based purely on data (and compete and innovate), data management professionals are under increasing pressure to deploy data solutions into business use sooner, produce multiple solutions, and align data solutions with quickly evolving business goals. Hence, delivery speed, development productivity, and business alignment are the leading priorities (and benefits) for agile data management.

Graph-Based Analysis: Using Alternative Data Analytics to Analyze Behavior

Although many different techniques and technologies for big data appliances can increase scalable performance, the ways that certain applications are mapped to a typical Hadoop-style stack might limit scalability due to memory access latency or network bandwidth. Yet the promise of big data must go beyond increased scalability for known problems.

Crossing Healthcare Chasms with Information Integration Best Practices

Information integration is critical for becoming smarter with data. Across all industries, organizations want to use data analytics to discover how they can reduce costs without sacrificing quality and effectiveness. Firms both large and small want to pull diverse data streams together. Users can then uncover insights and innovate at a faster pace than their competition.

The Data Warehouse Modernization Tipping Point

Changes in the way that today’s business transpires have slowly been cutting away at the ability to meet fully the needs of data consumers. At some point, those who manage the data warehouse will hit a threshold or boiling point that will make modernization mandatory.

The Changing Fabric of BI Environments: Supporting Line-of-Business Personnel and Data Scientists

Today’s BI environments have split personalities. They must support the production of routine reports and analyses used every day for decision-making by line-of-business employees, and yet, also enable data scientists and data crunchers to “freewheel” through the data in an unplanned, experimental fashion. What magic is this? How can implementers create a sustainable BI environment with these two seemingly contradictory purposes? Does one replace the other? What are the technological requirements for this new world?

Beautiful Data in the Eye of the Beholder: Data Visualization Best Practices

High-quality data visualization is critical to the success of business intelligence, analytics, and data presentation. Because graphical interaction with data is now the norm, users are excited—and also have increasingly high expectations. Technology is important, but you also need to execute best practices to avoid pitfalls and to create beautiful data visualizations that are clear, effective, and accurate.
