9:00am-10:00am: Unifying Analytics – Changing Architectures to Bring BI and Data Science Together

Paige Roberts, Open Source Relations Manager, Vertica

Machine learning projects have a high failure rate and take 3 months to a year or more to get into production. Increasingly, instead of duplicating effort by building separate data architectures to serve data for BI and data science, smart organizations like the TradeDesk, Philips, and United Group are unifying data lakes and data warehouses to power all analytics. Data scientists getting a new model into production should be as simple as business analysts generating a new report.

• Look at successful data architectures from companies like Philips, the TradeDesk, Climate Corporation..
• Learn to eliminate duplication of effort between data science and BI data engineering teams
• See a variety of ways companies are getting AI and ML projects into production where they have real impact, without bogging down essential BI
• Study analytics architectures that work, why and how they work, and where they’re going from here

10:30am-11:30am: The Dashboard Paradox: Breaking the Adoption Barrier with Infused Insights

Laurits Thomsen, Field CTO – EMEA, Sisense

It’s time to think differently about data and analytics strategies. While many organizations have progressed from relying on static reports generated by IT teams to using some version of a self-service model, most still struggle to reap the world-changing benefits long-promised by experts. Unfortunately, each evolution has delivered only incremental improvements over the last wave of analytics, leaving the biggest problems half-solved, and data assets underleveraged.  With analytics infusion, you can create a better way to work and a better customer experience.

Learn more about:

• The future of business intelligence and how your organization can stay ahead of the curve by thinking about life beyond the dashboard
• Enhancing your data strategy to get more out of your data
• How other companies are infusing analytics to not just meet, but exceed their hardest business objectives
