Past SWE Conference Topic Webinar Series #4 (Our Final Webinar for the FY year!)
Title: Data, Platform and People Strategy for Data Science (WE19 in Anaheim, California)
Speaker: Swapna Tom
Description: For an insight driven company, data is considered as an asset. At HP, we are transforming Business Intelligence and Data Science with a three-pronged strategy: data, platform and people. On the data side, we understand that the single source of truth when mashed up with relatable subject areas can transform into powerful analytical insights. Our top priority is therefore moving the data at speed into a central data lake and for subsequent cataloging. On the platform side, we have designed a hybrid architecture that supports the advanced needs of our analysts, business operations teams, data scientists, and executives. Finally, our most important resource – people: We have pivoted a large part of our team from legacy BI technologies to Big Data and Data Science technologies both using formal training, mentoring programs as well as on the job learning.
