Our Reality

  • We have more data than we can imagine
  • Small insights from small data sets can have a big impact
  • Data scientists are expensive and

So What?

  • We've built a prototype tool for exploring small data sets
  • It makes small datasets accessible ubiquitously across the enterprise
  • It allows us to engage the Data Scientists only on Data Science matters
  • It is easy for programmers extend the functionality to new datasets and new features

Why?

  • Total return exceeds total investment in month 7

Benefits / Next steps

  • We get agile again
  • We start using the small datasets that “Big Data” caused us to ignore
  • We can communicate more effectively with data
  • We need a team of 3 to move from prototype to useful tool
  • Data Scientist, Programmer, and Data Librarian
  • Tool pays for itself with 6 weeks.
