Turning to business analytics this episode, we discover it’s a broad field. Business Intelligence hasn’t been discussed that much yet in our podcast. So, we are excited to learn more. In an earlier episode, we discussed moving our Big Data platform to the cloud. This blog is described how we move our data platform into the cloud.

What tools do we need to get the data out and have all our users use it to their advantage? One of the tools is Tableau and together with our guests of the show, we dive into everything around this theme. How to become data-driven? What is the role of the data coach? How can you become scaleable? The road to self-service BI, etc.

Guests

• Frans Poldervaart – Data coach and “Analytics Ambassador”
• Willem Bekkers – Business Intelligence specialist / Data Coach
