Step Into a Career in Data Science

By Dan Riley, Distinguished Engineer & Vice President, Data Science, Kyndryl

November 2022’s post, “The Fully Credentialed Data Science Professional”, recommended a combination of credentials toward which data scientists and related professionals should work. However, as the well-known Chinese proverb roughly says, “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” The Open Group is adding a clear starting point for students, trainees, and career changers to begin their professional data science journeys.

Product Thinking for Data

By Dr. Anas Tawileh & Dr. Chris Harding

The role of data as a strategic enabler has become increasingly crucial to the long-term competitiveness of organisations. Netflix, for example, is one of the prominent examples of organisations that have successfully leveraged data to strengthen and sustain their competitive market position. One of the company’s many data-driven innovations is its market-leading Recommendations System that uses machine learning technologies to provide personalised recommendations that Netflix viewers will most likely enjoy. This system is so successful that it is estimated to create more than $1 billion in business value per year according to Netflix’s Chief Product Officer Neil Hunt.

What is Movember and how are we doing our part?

Data Integration – Choosing the Right Approach

By Dr. Chris Harding, Founder and Principal of Lacibus Ltd.

How do you approach data integration?

While it is often done on a case-by-case basis, a recent survey of enterprise and solution architects by The Open Group found that 62% of organisations are using or planning to use a specific data integration approach such as data virtualisation, data fabric, or data mesh. How would you pick the right approach for your organisation?

Questions like this are not best answered “off the top of your head”. You want to understand how the different approaches would work in your particular situation. You want to read explanations of them, and case studies. You want to talk to people with similar problems, see what they are doing or have done, and how this compares with what you want to do. You want to be able to follow standards and best practices.
