On Thursday 6th May 2021, Analytics Engines’ Chief Commercial Officer Brendan McCarthy and Chief Technology Officer Alastair McKinley took part in a webinar hosted by the Analytics Institute of Ireland.
The presentation, titled ‘Data in Perspective – Finding value in the noise’, explored the growing demand for data analytics solutions and considered how “raw” data can provide organisations with insight into the complex relationships that exist in siloed datasets.
The webinar also featured a presentation by Ciaran Kirk, Operations Director at IMGS. Their presentation explored the world of embedded analytics and discussed how the next generation of analytics will not be standalone dashboards but integrated analytics.
