PLOTCON 2016: Zach Gaston and Ram Kapistalam, Data science in the enterprise

Data science can create incredible value for companies. Those that do it well, use it as a tool for strategic differentiation in the market. However, generating value from data science, whether by embedding it into an actual product or using it to drive business strategy and operations, can be complex. Particularly with strategy and operations, delivering value in the enterprise from data science has a unique set of challenges. In this context, value is created only after the results of an analysis have led to actions in the line of business. To achieve success, this requires a complementary set of skills in addition to data analysis and modeling. It requires business acumen, persuasion, coordination, processes, and execution. In this talk, we will discuss the concept of analytics to execution at Red Hat, and how delivering value from data science in the enterprise extends far beyond the traditional data science workflow.
