Extracting Actionable Insights

Deriving actionable insights from Big Data to facilitate business decision-making in real time is what delivers the greatest value for companies. While many companies have achieved the basics in terms of data management and analytics, fewer have been able to put the processes and tools in place for utilizing analytics to elevate the value delivered to customers and inform their digital transformation initiatives.

Data Engineer or Data Scientist or Both?

Further complicating their efforts is some confusion over necessary roles and responsibilities. Companies have invested in hiring Data Scientists only to find that there still gaps that can only be filled with Big Data Engineers. Big Data Engineers prepare the “big data” infrastructure, make sure data is easily accessible, and optimize the performance of the big data ecosystem. The primary function of a Data Scientist is to analyze the integrated data and identify the valuable and actionable insights.
