Book description
Over the past decade, data science has come out of the back office to become a force of change across the entire organization. At the forefront of this change is the open data science movement that advocates the use of open source tools in a powerful, connected ecosystem. This report explores how open data science can help your organization break free from the shackles of proprietary tools, embrace a more open and collaborative work style, and unleash new intelligent applications quickly.
Authors Michele Chambers and Christine Doig explain how open source tools have helped bring about many facets of the data science evolution, including collaboration, self-service, and deployment. But you’ll discover that open data science is about more than tools; it’s about a new way of working as an organization.
