The Personal Health Care department at P&G, a multinational consumer products company, needed an easier way for its business users to navigate an increasingly complex network of internal digital systems. With massive amounts of technical information and supply chain details spread across various siloed data sources, retrieving and analyzing data quickly was proving to be a challenge without the help of system experts. Watch this recording, to hear how P&G and phData use KNIME to empower and upskill chemists and researchers at P&G to optimize data reporting capability and accelerate decision making.

Speakers: Brennon Sessions (P&G), Sunny Yan (phData)

The FDA is unique in that their operations are funded by user fees through a legislator mandate, which they collect as part of their regulatory functions. These hybrid funding and operating strategies create unique business challenges. With 20,000 customers across the globe, Mugila and her team wanted to find a tool to help amplify financial management and reporting efforts. They evaluated multiple industry-leading software products and selected KNIME to handle their Fully Loaded Cost (FLC) model. Hear how they have saved hundreds of labor hours, eliminated errors with automation, and enable systemic use of business data across other OFM apps.

Speakers: Mugila Krishnan (FDA), Jeet Jagtap (Equinoxys)

Organizations around the world depend on geospatial data for site selection, supply chain optimization, environment management, fraud detection and more. Historically, accessing and analyzing this invaluable data, however, has required niche expertise, demanding deep experience with a wide array of data sources and libraries, as well as coding skills. In this presentation, hear about the geospatial analysis extension and the reusable and reproducible blueprints that the CGA team, at Harvard, and KNIME are working on, for users to download and adapt to their own needs.

Speakers: Wendy Guan (Geographic Analysis Harvard University), Tobias Kötter (KNIME)

ING, one of Europe’s largest banks, has an ambition to become a data-driven organization with analytics core to its business model.

Serving over 26 million fixed network customers, the team from Deutsche Telekom tells us how they have mastered the challenge of dealing with large volumes of data while retaining stability, to optimize customer services. A sophisticated ML model in KNIME provides recommendations for the next best action (NBA) to help solve customer problems.The team has successfully enabled 24/7 availability and significantly reduced process duration. Since activating KNIME Edge, they are now able to handle 12,000 requests per day, achieving a response time of 1.9 seconds.

Speakers: Lars Matthes, Mehmet-Ali Karaarslan (Deutsche Telekom), Phil Winters (KNIME)

At SIEMENS Healthineers, the understanding is that CRM data should be provided as a digital internal product to a large number of stakeholders. The CRM Excellence business unit takes responsibility for maintaining and curating these datasets for widespread use. Watch the talk to hear how they have successfully accomplished this, benefiting from joining Snowflake’s computational and accessibility simplicity with KNIME’s interactive visual programming environment.

Speakers: Marcel Meyer (Siemens Healthineers), Ripu Jain (Snowflake), Stephen Rauner (KNIME)

When talking about data science, the traditional requirements of continuous deployment are not enough. In their talk, Phil and Simon discuss the extra requirements that data science based applications bring in a production environment and introduce a KNIME framework that not only satisfies traditional but also the extended requirements needed for operationalization of data science.

Speakers: Phil Winters (KNIME), Simon Schmid (KNIME)

Data Science fails when outdated models no longer represent what you’ll be seeing in the future. Dean and John pick up on the extra requirements needed to ensure continuous deployment of data science and dive deeper into key topics to protect data science models from extinction! Watch this recording to find out why data scientists need to be involved more, why drift is in the eye of the beholder, why models are sometimes wrong, and why retraining of models is not as easy as it seems. The data science gurus discuss how the work of a data science team is changing with more time needed to be factored in to monitor and evaluate how models are performing after implementation.

Speakers: Michael Berthold (KNIME), Dean Abbott (Wunderkind Corporation), John Elder (Elder Research)
