How to Build a Successful Data Team - Florian Douetteau (@Dataiku) Dataiku
As you walk into your office on Monday morning, before you've even had a chance to grab a cup of coffee, your CEO asks to see you. He's worried: both customer churn and fraudulent transactions have increased over the past 6 months. As Data Manager, you have 6 months to solve this problem.
As Data Manager, you know the challenges ahead:
- Multitudes of technology choices to make
- Building a team and solving the skill-set disconnect
- Data can be deceiving...
- Figuring out what the successful data product must be
Florian works in the “data” field since 01’, back when it was not yet big. He worked in successful startups in search engine, advertising, and gaming industries, holding various data or CTO roles. He started Dataiku in 2013, his first venture as a CEO, with the goal of alleviating the daily pains encountered by data teams all around.
Big data. Small data. All data. You have access to an ever-expanding volume of data inside the walls of your business and out across the web. The potential in data is endless – from predicting election results to preventing the spread of epidemics. But how can you use it to your advantage to help move your business forward?
Data is growing exponentially and it’s now possible to mine and unlock insights from data in new and unexpected ways. Empower your business to take advantage of this data by harnessing the rich capabilities of Microsoft SQL Server and the familiarity of Microsoft Office to help organize, analyze, and make sense of your data—no matter the size.
From Lab to Factory: Or how to turn data into valuePeadar Coyle
We've all heard of 'big data' or data science, but how do we convert these trends into actual business value. I share case studies, and technology tips and talk about the challenges of the data science process. This is all based on two years of in-the-field research of deploying models, and going from prototypes to production.
These are slides from my talk at PyCon Ireland 2015
We'll start by considering how Nonprofits use data - toward what ends. Then we'll talk about how "data-people" do the things they do, i.e. what are the basic processes and tools common to any data project? Finally, we'll touch on some relevant technology trends, and consider one of today's hottest job titles: "Data Scientist"
Back to Square One: Building a Data Science Team from ScratchKlaas Bosteels
Generally speaking, big data and data science originated in the west and are coming to Europe with a bit of a delay. There is at least one exception though: The London-based music discovery website Last.fm is a data company at heart and has been doing large-scale data processing and analysis for years. It started using Hadoop in early 2006, for instance, making it one of the earliest adopters worldwide. When I left Last.fm to join Massive Media, the social media company behind Netlog.com and Twoo.com, I basically moved from a data science forerunner to a newcomer. Massive Media had at least as much data to play with and tremendous potential, but they were not doing much with it yet. The data science team had to be build from the ground up and every step had to be argued for and justified along the way. Having done this exercise of evaluating everything I learned at Last.fm and starting over completely with a clean slate at Massive Media, I developed a pretty clear perspective on how to find good data scientists, what they should be doing, what tools they should be using, and how to organize them to work together efficiently as team, which is precisely what I would like to share in this talk.
Data science skills and development for the energy sectorDr. Cher Han Lau
I gave a talk in conjunction with Big Data Week 2018 in Malaysia to talk about data science skills and development for the energy sector. The conference by DEJ is 7 years running in Malaysia. They are collaborating with ADAX as we gear to drive 4IR (digital transformation). I covered how talent harnessing, embracing the wealth of skills & technology is of paramount importance and demands radical change across all sectors. And the pathway to become a data scientist in the Oil and Gas industry.

Depuis quelques années, on note un intérêt croissant pour l'analytique, l'intelligence artificielle, ainsi que d'autres domaines d'application dans lesquels les données occupent une place majeure. La digitalisation de nos interactions présente de grandes opportunités: nous pouvons maintenant envoyer et partager des données presque instantanément, notamment pour prendre des décisions dites 'empiriques' (ou simplement pour partager des informations avec nos familles et amis).
Par ailleurs, il existe un coût associé à ces opportunités, coût dont nous ne sommes parfois pas toujours conscients. Au fur et à mesure que les barrières techniques sont franchies, d'autres barrières apparaissent, notamment en relation avec des enjeux de légalité, d'éthique, et de moralité quant à la collecte, au transport, et à l'utilisation des données.
On fournit ici un aperçu de ces opportunités, des défis, ainsi que des solutions innovantes qui ont été utilisées ou sont en développement pour s'attaquer au défi du transport de données. Plus particulièrement, nous nous tournons vers les avancées dans les domaines de la recherche et de la pratique dans différents domaines et industries pour montrer comment le transport de données et la collaboration peuvent chacun bénéficier de leur influence lorsqu'ils sont utilisés de façon judicieuse.

Building with containers: How containers will drive cloud servicesDonnie Berkholz
Docker is one of the fastest-growing technologies to emerge, not just in the past decade, but ever. This hot new containerization software has changed the game for how software will be built and delivered. And yet, it's still early days in terms of how containers will transform the way teams collaborate and businesses ship and support cloud software. In this talk, we will cover:
* How DevOps and containers work together to enable better service delivery.
* What the advent of microservices means for cloud users and providers.
* What users and service providers require to cope with the changes wrought by containers.
For the full talk, visit the Heavybit Library - http://heavybit.com/library/video/2015-09-01-donnie-berkholz
In this Heavybit Speaker Series, Donnie Berkholz of 451 Research will offer insights into analyst coverage areas and how to present to them, context-setting for analyst briefings, and finally, how to engage with analysts on their upcoming research calendars.
The parallel universes of DevOps and cloud developersDonnie Berkholz
Despite all the talk of cloud and DevOps, the overlap is more in theory than practice. When one looks at the DevOps community today is a near-total lack of people who started on the dev side and the ops side. Config management is the closest to common ground, and even that is less thorough than the common wisdom about DevOps and cloud would have you believe.
Emerging trends in software development: The next generation of storageDonnie Berkholz
Donnie Berkholz leads the development, DevOps and IT ops team at 451 Research. In this talk, he will draw on his experience and research to discuss emerging trends in how software across the stack is created and deployed, with a particular focus on relevance to storage development and usage. Donnie will discuss the potential impacts of these trends to how storage software is built as well as what kinds of new use cases it needs to support.
DevOps 101+: From collaboration to microservicesDonnie Berkholz

The New Assembly Line: 3 Best Practices for Building (Secure) Connected CarsLookout
When an industry without experience in Internet security starts connecting things to the Internet, it typically makes a number of mistakes both in how it implements secure systems, and how it interacts with the security community. With connected automobiles, the stakes for getting security right have never been higher. “What’s the worst that could happen?” is a lot more serious when you’re talking about a computer that can travel 100+ MPH.
Building a Data Platform Strata SF 2019mark madsen
Building a data lake involves more than installing Hadoop or putting data into AWS. The goal in most organizations is to build multi-use data infrastructure that is not subject to past constraints. This tutorial covers design assumptions, design principles, and how to approach the architecture and planning for multi-use data infrastructure in IT.
[This is a new, changed version of the presentations of the same title from last year's Strata]
This is a presentation delivered of the Dremio Subsurface Conference on cloud data legs. The presentation covers five key trends within the data world.
Architecting a Data Platform For Enterprise Use (Strata NY 2018)mark madsen
Building a data lake involves more than installing Hadoop or putting data into AWS. The goal in most organizations is to build multi-use data infrastructure that is not subject to past constraints. This tutorial covers design assumptions, design principles, and how to approach the architecture and planning for multi-use data infrastructure in IT.
Long:
The goal in most organizations is to build multi-use data infrastructure that is not subject to past constraints. This session will discuss hidden design assumptions, review design principles to apply when building multi-use data infrastructure, and provide a reference architecture to use as you work to unify your analytics infrastructure.
The focus in our market has been on acquiring technology, and that ignores the more important part: the larger IT landscape within which this technology lives and the data architecture that lies at its core. If one expects longevity from a platform then it should be a designed rather than accidental architecture.
Architecture is more than just software. It starts from use and includes the data, technology, methods of building and maintaining, and organization of people. What are the design principles that lead to good design and a functional data architecture? What are the assumptions that limit older approaches? How can one integrate with, migrate from or modernize an existing data environment? How will this affect an organization's data management practices? This tutorial will help you answer these questions.
Topics covered:
* A brief history of data infrastructure and past design assumptions
* Categories of data and data use in organizations
* Data architecture
* Functional architecture
* Technology planning assumptions and guidance

Like all enterprise software solutions, Hadoop must deliver business value in order to be a success. Much of the innovation around the big data industry these days therefore addresses usability. While there will always be a technical side to the Hadoop equation, the need for user-friendly tools to manage the data will continue to focus on business users. That’s why self-service data preparation or "data wrangling" is a serious and growing trend, one which promises to move Hadoop beyond the early adopter phase and more into the mainstream of business.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear veteran Analyst Mark Madsen of Third Nature explain why business users will play an increasingly important role in the evolution of big data. He’ll be briefed by Trifacta's Will Davis and Alon Bartur, who will demonstrate how Trifacta's solution empowers business users to “wrangle" data of all shapes and sizes faster and easier than ever before. They’ll discuss why a new approach to accessing and preparing diverse data is required and how it can accelerate and broaden the use of big data within organizations.

During the last three years users have seen dramatic changes in how they access, consume and interact with technology. These changes have rolled across the enterprise, demanding IT managers incorporate better functionality and modify their environments to meet the needs of users and their businesses. While concerns about consumerization, virtualization, social media and cloud have assailed IT management, the eternal challenges remain.
IT management must focus on increased security requirements, delivering results faster, increasing performance, tight budgets and tightening schedules while extracting the greatest possible business value from the available technology. To be able to prepare for what’s changing in IT in 2012, TBR surveyed 105 IT decision makers to find out what they see changing and to what impact. What we learned is that data is controlling the market, and how it is stored, accessed and leveraged can mean the difference between success and failure.

Hadoop is arguably one of the most disruptive technologies of the last decade. Once lauded solely for its ability to transform the speed of batch processing, it has marched steadily forward and promulgated an array of performance-enhancing accessories, notably Spark and YARN. Hadoop has evolved into much more than a file system and batch processor, and it now promises to stand as the data management and analytics backbone for enterprises.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to learn from veteran Analyst Rick van der Lans, as he discusses the emerging roles of Hadoop within the analytics ecosystem. He’ll be briefed by Ron Bodkin of Think Big, a Teradata Company, who will explore Hadoop’s maturity spectrum, from typical entry use cases all the way up the value chain. He’ll show how enterprises that already use Hadoop in production are finding new ways to exploit its power and build creative, dynamic analytics environments.

Pricing and Packaging in Covid-19 Times - HeavybitDonnie Berkholz
High-resolution slides available here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1MygsJoOjQutdO116xvXHqLNThcwQ9eswyN38YDLjLVk/edit?usp=sharing
As the impacts of COVID-19 continue to reveal themselves across the industry, there are some things that we can say for certain: enterprise software budgets have tightened, and the procurement teams who oversee them are showing preference to “tried-and-true” solutions in an effort to minimize risk. As an early stage B2B startup perceived as higher risk by these large organizations, how can you continue making deals and maintain your revenue?
In this session, Donnie Berkholz will walk us through the often convoluted enterprise procurement and budgeting process so that you may better understand how to reposition your product, and possibly your pricing, in order to help your enterprise prospects hedge risk and sign new contracts. In addition, Donnie will talk through changes you can make to your overall go to market, including redoubling bottom-up efforts in order to decrease CAC and increase both product adoption and purchase on the ‘low end’ of the market.
Open Source & Open Community at a 100-Year-Old CompanyDonnie Berkholz
Over the past 3 years, CWT flipped an 18,000-person enterprise upside-down, turning a travel company with some apps into a software vendor focused on travel. A brand-new product group brought together technologists across the company and around the globe for the first time.
18 months in, I joined to lead the DevOps transformation, aiming to speed time to value, improve customer experience, and increase collaboration. As part of that effort, needs quickly surfaced around areas like:
* accelerating development through open-source adoption,
* improving recruitment with open-source contribution, and
* incorporating inner-source approaches to increase quality and speed.
To make those shifts, we drove adoption of a series of new tools — especially around source code and chat. Additionally, I was able to piggy-back onto existing efforts to define an open-source policy, apply a product-centric mindset, and expand that perspective into a cross-functional open-source program office.
This talk will describe our journey toward open at CWT, how we determined priorities and solutions, how we built bridges and overcame hurdles, and ultimately how we skipped entire generations in moving toward a modern view of open source in the enterprise. Anyone working toward an open culture in their company could benefit from this talk.

The strength of your team is the best predictor of its long-term viability. What happens when that group is gradually infiltrated by assholes, who infect everyone else with their constant negativity and personal attacks? Although someone may be a valuable technical contributor, that person will never contribute as much to a product as the many others who are scared away and demotivated.
This talk will teach you about the dramatic impact assholes are having on your organization today and will show you how you can begin to repair it.
Reality Check: How much influence do developers really have?Donnie Berkholz
Donnie will describe the evolving state of DX, based on his experience as an industry analyst in his past 3 roles and an open-source developer for 13+ years. He'll present quantitative data on the value and influence of developers. Donnie will also highlight key trends and emerging populations and illustrate how to target them. Finally, he'll include tangible examples from both large and small companies across a broad spectrum of categories to show how they cope with the dynamic state of DX.
A look into the hype vs the reality of Docker, containers and microservices. What does cloud-native adoption look like today in the enterprise, and what's popular with developers? Is it Kubernetes, Mesos, Docker Swarm, Blox, or something else?
Cloud Native in the Enterprise: Real-World Data on Container and Microservice...Donnie Berkholz
Containers and microservices are two of the fastest-growing trends in technology, enabled by DevOps. This talk will delve into the state of cloud-native prerequisites in the enterprise, the Docker and containers ecosystem including current adoption, and data on companies moving to cloud-native platforms. We'll close by looking at real-world examples of containers and microservices architectures at leading-edge companies.
Based on my experience with open source, community and Go, I’ll dig into the traction of Go relative to competing systems languages, examples in production, and the health and growth of Go’s community.
How the rise of DevOps and containers is transforming IT service deliveryDonnie Berkholz
One of the fastest-growing trends in technology is containers, enabled by a modern approach to software development and deployment called DevOps. This talk will delve into the increasingly mainstream trend of DevOps, the Docker and containers ecosystem including current enterprise adoption, and how they combine to form a new style of software architecture dubbed microservices. We'll close by looking at real-world case studies at leading companies.
The OpenStack Pulse: Containers and PlatformsDonnie Berkholz
Excerpt on containers and platforms from “The OpenStack Pulse: Unbiased research on enterprise demand, TCO, and market size” given with Al Sadowski at the OpenStack summit in Austin TX in April 2016. Full abstract:
451 Research, an independent analyst firm, has been following the OpenStack space since its early days. During this commercial free presentation, quantitative and qualitative insights will be shared on these topics:
- Enterprise adoption survey results—buying behaviors by workload for private cloud and public cloud as well as Docker/containers.
- TCO for OpenStack—when a distro is actually cheaper than DIY.
- Market sizing and growth projections for the entire OpenStack ecosystem, broken down by business model.
Microservices 101: From DevOps to Docker and beyondDonnie Berkholz
Containers and microservices are two of the fastest-growing trends in technology, enabled by a modern approach to software development and deployment called DevOps. This talk will delve into the increasingly mainstream trend of DevOps, the Docker and containers ecosystem including current enterprise adoption, and how they combine to form a new style of software architecture dubbed microservices. We'll close by looking at real-world examples of containers and microservices architectures at leading-edge companies.
Can we compare communities or are they all unique snowflakes?Donnie Berkholz
When comparing different communities, open source or otherwise, it's critical to realize the assumptions underlying the comparisons and to compare apples and oranges. One way to do so is to use rates of change, or percentages, but getting them out of noisy data can be tricky.
How microservices are redefining modern application architectureDonnie Berkholz
Slides from a joint webinar with Treasure Data:
This webinar will provide a crash course on microservices, focusing on high-level architectural and strategic concerns. We’ll explore best practices and architectural considerations and show you how to deliver microservices-powered applications today.
DevOps, containers & microservices: Separating the hype from the realityDonnie Berkholz
In this talk, Donnie shared what he's seen and what he predicts for the future of how we build and deploy applications to generate business value. You'll hear buzzwords like DevOps, Docker, and microservices used in ways that actually make sense (for a change), see real-world examples of companies that have succeeded at the leading edge, and learn how approaches like the one taken by HashiCorp's Terraform (by the authors of Vagrant) will be critical to the future of how we build software.
The new stack isn’t a stack: Fragmentation and terraforming the service layerDonnie Berkholz
Open source, cloud, and the API revolution have already
changed the way we build software. What's next? Donnie's spent the past 5 years trying to figure that out through observation and research at RedMonk and now at 451 Research. In this talk, he'll share what he's seen and what he predicts for the future of how we develop applications. You'll hear buzzwords like DevOps and microservices used in ways that actually make sense (for a change), see real-world examples of companies that have succeeded and failed, and learn how approaches like the one taken by HashiCorp's Terraform (by the authors of Vagrant) will be critical to the future of how we build software.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
