Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Science, and Analytics make the world a better place and we know that!
DATA SCIENCE EXPERTS- “The world runs on Data” a common adage we all would have heard, but have you ever thought how this data is churned to intelligent insights and strategic action? The megabytes of data we generate is tough to handle, even the data analysts would admit to this! A recent survey of over 5000 data professionals revealed interesting results, the most common challenges faced by them revolve around dirty data, lack of data science talent, and management support.

Gone are the days when the availability of data was restricted. The modern dynamic world calls in for the age of Big Data, characterised by volume, variety, velocity and veracity. Data scientists work with the particularly tough terabytes of unstructured data generated from a multitude of sources. The voluminous nature of this data, when pushed to traditional systems, results in sheer incapability of data handling.
