for data, process, and platform enhancements to enable best-inclass analytical performance.
This option is appropriate for companies that are new to
exploring analytics on massively-parallel-programming (MPP)
platforms, those that are in the beginning stages of elevating
analytics as a mission-critical business function, or those
suspecting they are under-leveraging valuable data assets.
LAB 100 (ANALYTICS BUNDLE)
Lab 100 engagements are typically two weeks long, working
with your data and analytics team to assist with introducing or
optimizing your Pivotal UAP analytics environment. In addition,
our data scientists work closely with your team to ensure that
users are fully equipped with the tools to leverage the advanced
analytics capabilities of Pivotal.
The result is onsite analytics training with the Pivotal UAP
targeting your future in-house data scientists, a review of
languages and tools such as SQL, R, MapReduce, MADLib, SAS,
and Alpine Miner (a GUI-based statistical package optimized for
Pivotal) and the presentation of a business insight by our data
science team.
This option is appropriate for new or existing Pivotal
customers who are interested in jumpstarting their advanced
analytics efforts to maximize the performance of their Pivotal
environments and the value theyre extracting from their data
assets.
ANALTYICS LAB 600
An Analytics Lab 600 is a six-week model-development
engagement focusing on solving a top business challenge or on
discovering a key insight that can be further operationalized to
address marketing or product goals.
The result of the Lab 600 is typically a QAd, ready-to-deploy
model or set of models that are tuned to optimally perform in
a Pivotal UAP environment.
This option is appropriate for companies with a known business
challenge that can benefit from the brief injection of additional
analytics experience. Examples of possible business challenges
addressable in a six-week timeframe include: customer
segmentations, affinity models, and experimentation frameworks.
ANALYTICS LAB 1200
Analytics Lab 1200 is a 12-week Pivotal UAP-based Analtyics Lab
engagement, focused on solving a top business challenge deemed
more complex than would be tractable in a Lab 600 engagement.
As with the Lab 600, the focus is usually upon discovering one or
more key insights that can be further operationalized to address
