Insight Through Innovation: Delivering Scalable Data Products With The Latest Cloud Tech

The pace of technological development means that is hard to keep track of the names of the latest data tools and techniques, never mind use them to build robust products that drive value for your business. In this talk we will introduce the concept of Aggreko's "Modern Data Platform", a connected series of cloud technologies and processes which together form our enterprise data product development and deployment environment. We will then share how we use this platform to create both Business Intelligence and Machine Learning solutions which can scale with the needs of the business, while also allowing for future innovations in technology to be incorporated and utilised as they come online. We will conclude with a detailed use case in both the BI and Machine Learning space.
