Your Next Decision Could Change Lives: Why We Need Data Skills and Analytics

The year was 1993. The place, a little town in Sweden. A serial killer was on the loose. He randomly shot at people standing at bus stops or sitting in their cars, killing one and wounding many others. The residents of Malmö lived in fear. Window blinds were shut, playgrounds were deserted. The police didn’t know where to start.

The challenges you'll face deploying machine learning models (and how to solve them)

In 2019, organizations invested $28.5 billion into machine learning application development (Statistica). Yet, only 35% of organizations report having analytical models fully deployed in production (IDC). When you connect those two statistics, it’s clear that there are a breadth of challenges that must be overcome to get your models deployed and running.

Create custom functionalities in Keboola's Developer Portal

Every time you write another piece of code that picks up data from an FTP server, a small piece of you dies. As a developer in the data space, you know what we’re talking about. 80% of your time can be taken by building and improving the environment and tools, maintenance tasks, and pieces of functionality. That's simply too much time dedicated away from tackling more important issues.

Augment EMR Workloads with CDP

The first thing that comes to mind when talking about synergy is how 2+2=5. Being the writer that he is, Mark Twain described it a lot more eloquently as “the bonus that is achieved when things work together harmoniously”. There is a multitude of product and business examples to illustrate the point and I particularly like how car manufacturers can bring together relatively small engines to do big things.
