By Shashi Raina, Partner Solution Architect at AWSBy Veda Shankar, Senior Developer Advocate at OmniSciWe generate quintillions of bytes of data every day, but on the face of it the data is not necessarily useful.

In this post, we’ll talk about how OmniSci, an AWS Partner Network (APN) Standard Technology Partner, provides a platform to make this process of changing data into information faster, cheaper, and interactive.

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Bill Schmarzo. The opportunity to watch and coach the University of San Francisco (USF) students during our annual Hackathon with our friends at Good Dataprobably taught me as much as it taught the students. The lessons learned I’ll share here will not only benefit future classes, but my customers.  It also gives me an opportunity to make special mention of one Hackathon team that really delivered the goods! This year’s Hackathon focused on analyzing air traffic delays (a subject area with which I unfortunately consider myself an expert).  We used data ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Leo Sadovy. By now you’ve seen the headlines and the hype proclaiming data as the new oil. The well-meaning intent of these proclamations is to cast data in the role of primary economic driver for the 21st century, just as oil was for the 20th century. As analogies go, it’s not too bad, but it doesn't really hit the mark. If we were to stick with the oil/data analogy, data would not be a replacement for oil, but a co-equal partner. Allow me to offer an alternative analogy: Life. In an attempt to assess whether or ... Read More

Feed: Planet big data. Author: Jinan Budge. Last week, I had the immense pleasure of travelling to India for the first time.  It quickly became one of my favourite trips of 2019.  This is in spite of a punishing schedule where I toured Bangalore, Pune, Delhi and Mumbai and met with /presented to a couple of hundreds of our clients, vendors and extended ecosystem.  The smells, colours, people, energy and activity were very uniquely India and I will always treasure them. I will also treasure my learnings of the business and security landscape in the region.  We’ve all heard the ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: John Maynard. Photo by Pixabay via CC2.0 The Data Revolution is causing disruption everywhere. Even governments are feeling the effects. While the public sector may be less prepared for the impending changes, government has good reasons to embrace the Data Revolution. First, governments have been collecting data for years. They have lots of data. This supports programs, policy assessment, and often compliance requirements for program grants. The difficulty is pooling, accessing, and using this data effectively. This is key to unlocking the power of advanced data analytics. The Rise of the Government Chief Data Officer According ... Read More

Feed: AWS Government, Education, & Nonprofits Blog. Author: publicsector. This week, the BBC and other media outlets published inaccurate stories attempting to connect the AWS bid for the U.S. Department of Defense’s Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) Contract to a UK-based investment firm called C5 Capital (C5). To be clear, neither C5 nor any of its subsidiaries are involved in AWS’s JEDI bid. At no time, past or present, has Amazon or AWS ever invested in C5, its private equity fund, or any related portfolio companies. C5 has never been a teaming partner or subcontractor, nor lobbied on behalf of ... Read More

Feed: Teradata Blog. One of the most common, and arguably the most valuable, data element in any enterprise and integrated data warehouses, is time. Without time dimensions, your data lacks important context of when as well as sequence of events. In fact, analyzing data using time is quite important, so much so that we just do it naturally – even without thinking about it.  It’s evidenced by the fact that most analytics are bound by time - like hour, day, month, year, etc. Simply put: how often are you not using time in some fashion in your analytics?Though vastly important, ...
