What is Data Science?

On a fundamental level, data science deals with the analysis, interpretation, and utilization of data from various sources. That considered, its core responsibilities are formed by four general questions:

  • What has happened?
  • Why did it happen?
  • What will happen in the future?
  • What is the best scenario that can happen?

Methodical, data science consists out of four foundational pillars:

  • Domain Knowledge
  • Mathematics
  • Computer Science
  • Verbal and Digital Communication

What is it’s Business Value?

Data scientists can use historical data to make accurate predictions. This both creates transparency and identifies optimization potential as well as possible strategies for it’s realization. In general, the business value of data science depends on organizational needs.

THE DATA SCIENCE PROCESS FOR CREATING BUSINESS VALUE

One example of a successful data science application is the personalization of newsletters. By identifying a customer’s interests using their data, a newsletter can be customized so that it bring the highest value to the customer. This changes a uniformly generated  newsletter to a unique potential piece of value for the customers. Which in turn will lead to better customer relationship while having a direct financial impact. All of this, by just using data science to group customers by their potential interests.

Scalefree’s approach to help you

It is a common problem that user-created solutions never reach enterprise-wide adoption. Due to unclear responsibilities and changing data governance policies, solutions are often canceled before users can begin to fully utilize it.

This is where Scalefree comes in. We build an environment where both casual and power users are encouraged to work with data. It is in this environment, in which everybody is able to industrialize their custom solutions by setting up a data-driven infrastructure in your company. Furthermore, we help casual users gradually become power users by enabling them to dive deeper into the scientific aspects of their data.

1

In a typical data science environment, someone works inside their user space and creates a solution, for example a dashboard.
2

After a while, the dashboard gets shared with some other users to show what is achieved. As time passes, more and more users begin working with the dashboard despite it being originally only a cobbled together solution that hasn’t passed any quality checks.
3

At some point, management wants this dashboard to become industrialized because the whole company is working with it.
But then questions regarding responsibility for the processes required arise.
These questions create obstructions that lead to the creator of the dashboard dropping their work which then will no longer be used. In this case, the last thing a data driven company would want happens, highly valuable information is lost.
4

As soon as a solution gets industrialized, all responsibilities are clearly distributed. As soon as all data governance policies are applied, the solution is deployed to the business vault.
5

The business users may now use a solution that meets all requirements. Through implementing all enterprise policies, working with this solution is easy,and new business value is used.
