The Philosophy of Data Enrichment at Dracore Data Sciences

Whether your organisation is a large corporation, or a small startup; the philosophy underpinning how you work with data will have downstream cultural effects. It will shape the perspectives that you and others can consider, as well as the actions you can take.

Using this insight, you can make decisions that will help your organisation move forward. Ensure that the tooling and methods you use are aligned with your organisation’s philosophy.

1. Data is the key

Data is the key to Dracore Data Sciences' philosophy of data enrichment. Using the latest technology, they can help clients add, fix and augment data to create a more complete picture of their customers.

Keeping track of customer contact information is crucial in maintaining open channels of communication with customers after their initial on-boarding process. A database enriched with new and updated information, will allow you to communicate the right message at the right time, all the time.

The science of data analysis and processing has been around for a while, but it's only in recent years that the data science industry has begun to really take off. The latest developments in artificial intelligence, computer processing power and machine learning are allowing the industry to develop solutions that can deliver a competitive advantage for companies of all sizes.

2. Data Science is a process

Data science is a process that requires a high level of attention to detail. It involves asking the right questions and analyzing raw data, modeling it using various complex and efficient algorithms, and understanding it to find the final result.

The first step in data science is to clearly define the problem and bring focus to a project. This will allow the data scientist to build a research plan and roadmap that stakeholders can follow.

Data scientists work in teams — including business analysts, data engineers, and IT managers – to ensure their workflows are properly integrated into a company’s existing decision-making processes and systems. Without better integration, data scientists and business managers struggle to collaborate knowledgeably. This can lead to long project cycles that business leaders find difficult to understand and support.

3. Data Science is a skill

If data is the key to your business, then it makes sense that you’ll need a good understanding of how to effectively extract, transform and load data into a database that can be used for analysis. This involves a strong grasp of Structured Query language (SQL), which is the most popular programming language for relational databases.

Data scientists are not just concerned with extracting data and analyzing it -- they also need to know how to present that information in ways that are easy for others to understand. This requires a combination of technical skills and soft skills, such as data visualization and storytelling.

4. Data Science is a discipline

Data science is a multidisciplinary field that blends aspects of mathematics, statistics, software programming, and other sciences to interpret large reams of data for decision-making purposes. Among other applications, data science helps businesses mine and analyze customer data for stronger marketing campaigns and targeted advertising to increase product sales.

It also aids in managing financial risks on loans and credit lines, detecting fraudulent transactions, and preventing equipment breakdowns in manufacturing plants. It also helps block cyber attacks and protect IT systems from security threats.

Data scientists are professionals with advanced subject-matter knowledge, programming skills and competence in math and statistics who draw essential insights from data. They use machine learning algorithms on various types of data to develop artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can carry out activities that usually require human intelligence.

5. Data Science is a profession

Data science is a profession that blends statistics & mathematics, programming skills, subject expertise, and more to analyze large amounts of data and extract meaningful insights from it. This field is becoming increasingly vital to business and government.

Today, organizations & businesses use data science to optimize processes, detect fraud, and identify new opportunities. Industries such as manufacturing, transport and finance can use machine learning to identify inefficiencies in production processes and make changes based on those findings.

The profession is also a creative one, as data scientists are often called upon to communicate their work with non-technical stakeholders. This is an important skill that is often overlooked by companies who are unsure of how to express their analysis in plain English.
