Feed: SAS BlogsRSS – SAS Blogs. Author: Alyssa Farrell. Tell me if you’ve heard this before:  Your company hired (or re-titled) a talented data scientist and they have great skills and no data. Or they're marginalized by IT because they're misunderstood. They're offered “cleansed” data that will fit into the hardware provisioned.
