Data Insights: Technology Choices

Choosing the right technology for your organisation is a crucial step in the journey towards data innovation. And with so many options available on the market, it can be difficult to know which technology is the right one for what you’re trying to achieve. Aimed at technical staff, this theme will demo a range of technical solutions to a variety of problems, such as Data Prep, Data Analytics and Data Science.

DataRobot’s centrally governed platform gives companies the power of AI to drive better business outcomes and is available on your cloud platform-of-choice, on-premise, or as a fully-managed service. Find out how DataRobot uses machine learning to automatically create machine learning models, rank, test, tune & deploy them, with explainable AI.
