What is data quality, why does it matter, and how can you improve it?

We’ve all heard the war stories born out of wrong data: These stories don’t just make you and your company look like fools, they also cause great economic damages. And the more your enterprise relies on data, the greater the potential for harm. Here, we take a look at what data quality is and how the entire data quality management process can be improved.

Taylor Brown and George Fraser, Co-Founders of Fivetran, keynote the Modern Data Stack Conference

Throughout time data has improved the way we approach problems, find new discoveries, and make decisions. The technology that powers the creation and analysis of data hasn't always been reliable or simple to use, leaving some organizations ahead of others. This is disparity between the haves and have nots of data is changing due to the modern data stack. In this session, Taylor will give us a warm welcome and George will explain the impact of the modern data stack for analytic teams and how it is becoming as simple and reliable as electricity.

Listening to the Customer in the 21st Century: It's All About Data

The customer has never been more right. Across industries, customers have become conditioned to demand not only near-instant responses to their needs but that their needs be anticipated in advance. Financial institutions are not given a pass, despite a competitive landscape flooded with regulation and privacy considerations. The customer still has expectations for a personalized, timely, and relevant experience.

The New Face of Secure Data Collaboration: Transforming Government with the Data Cloud

Machine Learning with Jupyter: Solving the Workflow Management Problem using Open-platforms

The infamous data science workflow with interconnected circles of data acquisition, wrangling, analysis, and reporting understates the multi-connectivity and non-linearity of these components. The same is true for machine learning and deep learning workflows. I understand the need for oversimplification is expedient in presentations and executive summaries. However, it may paint unrealistic pictures, hide the intricacies of ML development and conceal the realities of the mess.
