  Recording for January 2023 Community Conversation + Next Month’s Details + Announcements

  Posted by Kevin Praet (Adm) on January 30, 2023 at 10:00 am

  Hello Enterprise Analytics Community Members,

  Thanks for attending the January 26, 2023 Enterprise Analytics Community Conversation! For those unable to attend, we missed you and look forward to seeing you next month. During this Community Conversation, we were joined by the following speakers who led a panel themed discussion around, “Do Analytics Fall from the “Cloud”?” 

  – Alex Preston, Sr Manager, Analytics Platform (Entergy)
  – Jerry Casarella, Director of Analytics Infrastructure and Solutions (PSEG)
  – Andy Kapp, Lead Enterprise Architecture (Evergy)

  During this session, we got through most of the designated questions but had a few remaining questions from the members. Please find these questions below.

  1) What is the flow of data from source systems to the end user report (i.e. synapse -> storage account -> sql server -> power bi)?
  2) Our data is housed on AWS. Is a 3rd party data engine necessary between AWS and our end uses (Tableau, R, Python, Alteryx)?
  3) How are you utilizing ‘analytics tools’ in the cloud? , i.e. Enablement + Adoption of the analytics tools in the cloud
  4) For people who have moved to cloud, what were considerations when choosing vendor?

  We will have Andy, Alex, and Jerry reply to this discuss thread to provide their thoughts on the following questions. I also encourage you to reply with your thoughts and opinions, as well as ask any lingering questions from today’s panel discussion.
