6th annual Cloud Slam 2014 Cloud Computing Conference, San Francisco CA, June 4, 2014. Cloud Computing Events 2014 - BPaaS http://cloudslam.org/taxonomy/term/481 en Power to the People! Advanced Analytics for All http://cloudslam.org/cloudcomputingconference2012/power-people-advanced-analytics-all <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Advanced Analytics has the potential to unlock new sources of revenues, reduce expenses, optimize organizations and monetize the mounds of data each organization collects. However, the pursuit of Advanced Analytics nirvana is proceeding along two esoteric paths. First, the ivory tower approach where mysterious data scientists manually turn data into beautifully crafted analysis reports. Second, the massive computing power approach where black-box software crush data into complex models incomprehensible to mere mortals. In reality, the transformative potential of analytics is lost unless it impacts the day to day activities of every level of employees. Neither ivory towers, nor black boxes are inherently suited to empowering every level of the workforce with context appropriate actionable analytics. The future of analytics is simplicity, ubiquity, and actionability. A third path – Advanced Analytics for the masses – is now being enabled by the twin forces of Cloud Computing and Crowdsourcing.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-keywords field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Keywords:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/tags/advanced-analytics" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Advanced Analytics</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/taxonomy/term/115" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Big Data</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/taxonomy/term/481" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">BPaaS</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/tags/crowdsourcing" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Crowdsourcing</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/taxonomy/term/4" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">cloud</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-spfname field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Speaker First Name:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Arijit</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-splname field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Speaker Last Name:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Sengupta</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-jobtitle field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Speaker Job Title:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">CEO</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-company field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Speaker&#039;s Company Name/Affiliation:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">BeyondCore</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-bio field-type-text-long field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Speaker Bio:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Arijit Sengupta is the CEO of BeyondCore, the Chair of the Cloud Computing Chapter of the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP), and a member of the Indian Cyber Security Advisory Group set up by NASSCOM and the Government of India.
