“The ability to take data – to be able to understand
it, to process it, to extract value from it, to visualize
it, to communicate it – that’s going to be a hugely
important skill in the next decades.”

Growth of Data Scientist Opportunities
Job Trends from Indeed.com
• “A significant constraint on realizing value from
big data will be a shortage of talent,
particularly of people with deep expertise in
statistics and machine learning, and the
managers and analysts who know how to
operate companies by using insights from big
data."
• By 2018...the United States alone faces a
shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 people with
analytical expertise and 1.5 million managers
and analysts with the skills to understand and
make decisions based on the analysis of big
data.
Average "big data" salaries for job postings
nationwide are 45% higher than average
salaries for all job postings nationwide.

Data Repositories, An Analyst Perspective
Data Islands

Analytic Sandbox
Isolated data marts
Centralized data
containers in a purposebuilt space
Data assets gathered from multiple
sources and technologies for
analysis
“Spreadmarts”
• Spreadsheets and lowvolume DB‘s for
recordkeeping
• Analyst dependent on
data extracts
• Supports BI and reporting, but
• Enables high performance analytics
restricts robust analyses
• Analyst dependent on IT & DBAs for
data access and schema changes
• Analysts must spend significant
time to get extracts from multiple
sources
using in-db processing
• Reduces costs associated with data
replication into "shadow" file systems
• “Analyst-owned” rather than “DBA
owned”
