On my last post I shared how new social music discovery company TastemakerX is using Datameer for Big Data analytics to change the way people discover music. Today I’m excited to share how a 100+ year-old revered retail brand is reinventing itself for the newer generation of retailers (and e-tailers!) when it comes to leveraging [...]

I just joined Datameer, and it feels like I boarded a rocket. Each day has been amazing and reconfirmed the reasons why I joined the company.

Articles about the severe lack of Data Scientists, despite their high demand, continue. Today on PEHub: “…outside of companies like Google that have long made use of rich rosters of PhDs, there are nowhere near enough “data scientists” — graduate-level candidates with backgrounds in machine learning or statistics — to analyze the massive streams of [...]

In June, we announced our Business Infographic Designer, where we opted to give our customers a blank canvas to design data visualizations from scratch rather than the traditional box-after-box style reporting seen in most traditional BI tools. In October, we announced the Datameer Analytic App Market, where you can download packaged analytical apps, plug in [...]
