A great turnout and interactions at the Q&A sessions confirmed that we had hit the nail on the head with the topic: In an increasingly connected world with exponentially growing amounts of data, all companies, regardless of their industry, face the same challenge: To develop the existing business models competitively based on a suitable data strategy. Intelligent data management offers enormous opportunities for the future of any company.
Data is the new humus – new technologies, processes, and ideas grow. It is an essential production factor that keeps you competitive, as emphasized by our speakers from well-known companies. They shared their experiences and valuable insights for intelligent solutions with the audience:
- Scott Wiggins shared his 4-step approach of his data journey at Andritz. They started with an ideation process as part of Nagarro's innovation toolkit. A newly developed datathon was organized to evaluate the existing data. This resulted in a first proof-of-concept, which eventually led to the successful implementation of a real data-lake project.
- Ewald Koller took us along his data-journey from (1) realize Postbus was sitting on an enormous data heap from their buses, to (2) data-analysis looking for anomalies in bus performance to (3) gain insights to enable predictive bus maintenance. And the journey goes on.
- Maximillian Schwarzmaier shared his experience on working with Nagarro replacing barcode scanner in the warehouse through Smart Glass with a 30% efficiency gain and high user acceptance overcoming obstacles on his data-journey.
- Anurag Sahay explained the three most important entry points into Big Data projects and gave his view on the relevance of Data Warehouses versus Data Lakes in the future.
- Live Demos showed how tons of data can be used in combination with analytics, data science, artificial intelligence and machine learning to make data profitable.
We are very happy about the positive feedback we received from our guests and are very much looking forward to Turntable Vol. 2 next year.
