Data Science as the next step in data maturity - Greenchoice

Greenchoice has already taken considerable steps with an ambitious data strategy, future-proof data architecture and a rapidly growing number of end users in the data visualisation environment. However, in order to take the next step in data maturity, Greenchoice has developed an in-company Data Science training in collaboration with Rockfeather. The training's main objectives were: identify, develop, and implement Data Science use cases. Alex Janssen, Manager Development Consumer and Data & Analytics explains what this training has brought while also answering the question: When is the Data Science training relevant for you?

“The Data Science training is the best solution for you when you hear that Data Science is the next step in data maturity from both your employees, as well as, from the board!”

– Alex Janssen, Manager Development Consument en Data & Analytics
