What: Paxata Partner Presentation with Clarity Solutions Group: Bridging Communication Silos in Analytics Teams
For many companies, the big data analytics disruption of the past decade has not been about how much data you can handle. In fact, the ability to handle massive data has existed for years (albeit locked in expensive proprietary technology silos). Instead, the big benefits have been the reduced organizational costs of leveraging analytics. Where the past paradigm may have been focused more on “throwing code over the wall” or shifting technical debt, the full stack paradigm is focused on craftsmanship. The more analytics teams have direct access to their business customers, the more opportunity they have to shape the problem, not just the solution.
Speaker: Tripp Smith, CTO, Clarity Solutions Group

What: Paxata Demonstrations

• Exploring the enterprise data lake with an extensible platform (Paxata Connect) - this demonstration showcases Paxata Connect, the latest innovation to the Paxata Business Information Platform. IT organizations can now make any data asset in their enterprise accessible to business teams via a highly-intuitive interface. See how easily analysts can perform data discovery within relational datastores without writing SQL, navigate Hadoop clusters with clicks and not code, and access cloud data as easily as local files. 
• Customer Segmentation in Financial Services - this demonstration features the intelligence and innovation of the Paxata self-service data preparation app, the analyst-driven workspace powered by Paxata's Business Information Platform. In this financial services scenario, business analysts explore millions of records in client bookings files, previously dark data in a Hadoop cluster, using Paxata's underlying algorithms to intelligently discover patterns, data errors, and one outlier out of millions. Analysts elevate their tactical analytics to strategic insights by seamlessly combining demographics data from proprietary relational data stores and reshaping pivot tables from different business units. These insights are easy to visualize in Tableau, then traced back to the source with ClicktoPrep links back to the complete, auditable Paxata projects.
