Utilize all your data: using Data Lakes for enterprise big data management w/ Corinna Giebler

In this episode of A Side of Data with Corinna Giebler we discuss the topic of data lakes. How is it different from the data warehouse when storing big data in enterprises? We touch upon questions: How can data lakes influence organizations? Where do they fit in the data science/data management/machine learning pipelines? We talk about use cases for the technology and which are the main advantages. Also, we give examples of software products. Links to the resources mentioned in the episode: [1] Mathis, C. 2017.

Process mining is what industry needs w/ Pol Schumacher

In this episode of A Side of Data, we talk with Pol Schumacher who is a Ph.D. in computer science. He is a distinguished Data Scientist at Celonis, a leading process mining company. In this episode, we talk about what process mining for the industry is, in detail discuss what challenges they face on real-world projects. We discuss all parts of process mining and give additional insights on RPA, privacy (GDPR), what is missing in current tools, etc. Pol gives a prediction of what is going to be relevant for process mining projects in the future. Pol works with a team that deploys the software, prepares the data models and executes the first process analysis with customers. During those projects he covers a wide range of tasks such as defining the requirements, developing data models and the logic for the generation of the event log, building dashboards within Celonis, setting up end-to-end data pipelines.
