Data Xpresso: Powering data science with GPUs

There are many exciting career opportunities in the technology industry and we want to give you a glimpse behind the curtain. Drawing on our experiences from working in different parts of the tech and analytics markets, we’ll share what it’s like to work for an analytics software company and how it compares to previous roles we had as analysts and consultants using analytics solutions.

Organizations around the world are ready to go beyond reports and dashboards and are building analytical applications that are fully integrated into every aspect of their business. This impacts the traditional service BI and analytics provide to the business and requires an increasing focus on technology working hand-in-hand with people and processes. Join us for this conversation with Daniel Shaw-Dennis, SVP Global Strategy, Growth & Alliances at Yellowfin, who together with his team is working with customers globally to achieve this technology innovation.

We all wish we could make better, faster and more informed decisions but many of us are struggling. Yet according to a McKinsey survey there is compelling evidence to suggest there’s a strong correlation between quick decisions and good ones. In this week’s episode of DataXpresso we explore some of the ways in which decision making is being transformed and provide suggestions about how it can be improved.

COVID-19 caused massive disruption in job markets around the world. Who are the kinds of companies looking for talent right now? And what role does analytics play in the hiring process?
Join us on Tuesday, 11 August at 2.30pm BST as we explore these questions.

The availability of GPUs for data science and machine learning applications gives organizations the chance to get more value from their data while remaining flexible and keeping costs under control.
In this webinar we explore the opportunities that come with GPUs and the potential impact this can have on the work of data scientists who want to accelerate their progress. We will also look at different use cases for running GPUs in the cloud or on premise. Join us and be part of the conversation.

According to McKinsey research, organizations that leverage customer behavior data to generate behavioral insights outperform peers by 85% in sales growth and more than 25% in gross margin.
Against the backdrop of the pandemic, understanding how key customer segments are emerging, what new patterns of behavior are forming and how preferences are changing has never been more important. Especially when it remains critical to helping organizations stay relevant and plan for the future.

In this webinar we will explore examples of leading companies adapting to the new normal, examine some of the challenges they face and talk about the customer-driven tactics and strategies data analytics and BI teams can implement now for long-term success.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) can be a game changer in organizations that want all of their people to work with data. But what are the opportunities of using NLP in everyday work?

In this webinar we talk to Simone di Somma, CEO and Co-Founder of Askdata, a Y Combinator-backed technology startup working at the intersection of NLP and Data Analytics. We’ll dig into how NLP can be used to get answers to questions from the data by leading the process with the user experience and creating an intuitive interface for analytics.

Row Level Security (RLS) and Column Level Security (CLS) play a key role in protecting your organization’s data and helping you adhere to compliance regulations. But how do you get started?

In this webinar, Zach Adda, pre-sales engineer at Exasol, will take you through a step-by-step guide showing you how easy it is to use, setup and maintain RLS and CLS, all in less than 40 minutes.

Die Verbindung von menschlicher Expertise und künstlicher Intelligenz bei der Entwicklung von Algorithmen, sowie bei der Auswahl der passenden Technologien in der Anwendung dieser Algorithmen, gehört zu den zentralen Erfolgsfaktoren von Data Science Projekten.

Im Rahmen dieses Webinars lernen Sie anhand konkreter Praxisbeispiele zur Anomalie-Erkennung, wie Algorithmen in Zusammenarbeit von Data Science Spezialisten und Fachabteilungen erfolgreich entwickelt und unter Einsatz der richtigen Technologien produktiv angewendet werden können.

Organizations want to speed up their analytics and BI to achieve real-time insights and to handle more data more frequently than ever before. They want to go beyond being responsive and gain a competitive advantage from their data. But how do they do it?
In this week’s webinar we will look at options for organizations to improve the performance of their analytics environment.

Die meisten Unternehmen stehen heute vor der Herausforderung, ihre Datenbestände schneller nutzbar zu machen, um den Weg zu einem datengetriebenen Unternehmen gehen zu können. Um für die Zukunft gerüstet zu sein, ist es jetzt an der Zeit, bestehende Data- Warehouse-Systeme zu modernisieren. Wenn Sie mehr darüber erfahren möchten, wie Datenbanksysteme lokal verbessert oder in die Cloud verlagert werden können, bietet dieses Kooperations-Webinar mit dem Exasol-Partner Trevisto AG einen fundierten Einstieg.
Lernen Sie weiterhin in diesem Webinar, wie Sie mit leistungsstarken Komponenten der Analytics-Datenbank von Exasol und einem praxistauglichen bewährten Vorgehen
• ein existierendes Data Warehouse modernisieren,

Der Experte erläutert in diesem Webinar, welche Prozesse etabliert sind beim Umzug von Datenbanken, mit welchem Vorgehen es gelingen kann, ein Data Warehouse zu modernisieren und warum die Technologien der neuesten Generation besonders geeignet sind, eine zentrale Datenbank sicher in der Cloud zu betreiben.

In this episode of DataXpresso we will be tackling the subject of citizen data scientists and whether the hype surrounding them can really live up to reality.

A citizen data scientist (CDS) is broadly defined as an individual that can extract sophisticated insights from data while not requiring the skill and proficiency of an expert data scientist.

CDSs have been heralded as an answer to the talent gap we see around the scarce, and highly sought after skills needed for data science.

However, while there are some real benefits to lowering the entry level for data science, what are the practicalities of becoming, or working with, a CDS?
What steps can we take to identify a potential CDS and ensure their success?

Tune in on June 16th to learn more.

The cloud has become pivotal for businesses that need flexibility and convenience but it might not always be the most cost effective option. To help organizations avoid cost explosions from their cloud deployment we will share our recommendations for planning your move into the cloud.
We will also address the topic of migrating to the cloud. This comes with its own complexities and we will tackle the question of ‘what is your cloud strategy’ to help you navigate the process more effectively.
