We are interested in promoting work for projects in Analytics, Business Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science, Data Architecture, Data Modeling, Data Integration, Data Interoperability, Metadata Management, Data Visualization, Master Data Management and any strategic use of data that creates business value or reduces business risk.
