Last month, I hosted a “Big Data Hangout” featuring SAP’s Shekhar Iyer, Global VP Analytics & Big Data and David Ginsberg, Chief Data Scientist.
The hour-long discussion covered different topics about data science and data scientists, including questions from the audience:
- What is a data scientist and what do they do?
- Why now?
- What kinds of business challenges does Data Science address?
- Example use cases
- What kinds of skills are needed?
- What SAP technologies are we talking about?
- Typical barriers to success?
- What’s going to happen in the future?
