Oracle and Mannai are sponsoring the “Qatar Big Data and Analytics Workshops”, set to open on June 7 at the Doha Marriott Hotel to help Qatari organisations understand how technology could help drive efficiency, reduce waste, and improve profit.
Recent research reveals that public and private organisations in Qatar were among the major “early adopters” of big data and analytics in the region. Leading Qatari institutions are now hiring proven analytics managers and investing in new analytics
programmes and products.
Kumar Ramanujam, director of conferences at TMC, Dubai, said there are many managers in Qatar who realise that making use of big data creates serious challenges but are unsure how to tackle the issue.
“These workshop master-classes are for them,” he stressed.
Binu MR, vice president, Mannai Software Division, said, “We have the infrastructure and intellectual capabilities to answer the question facing many chief executive officers in Qatar, who ask how can we benefit from the new efficiencies promised through big data?”
He also confirmed the ownership of the powerful Big Data Appliance, which was engineered to crunch large datasets that produce meaningful data insights.
Binu added, “This will usher in an age of new dynamics in social, economic, and institutional spheres. These carefully-planned workshops will offer an ideal opportunity to assess
and learn.”
TMC, the organiser of the workshops, launched and managed the “First GCC Big Data Summit” held in March in Dubai. Two of the presenters at the Dubai event will be bringing their expertise direct to Doha from world-leading
companies, TMC added.
Professor Mouwafac Sidaoui, chairman of business analytics and information systems at San Francisco University School of Management, will focus on “Big Data Analytics and Data Visualisation” and demonstrate how graphical depictions of big data will drive new business opportunities using advanced analytics.
He will also show how data visualisation tools can convert enormous data sets to
increase business understanding.
Dr Satyam Priyadarshy, chief data scientist at Halliburton in Texas, will tackle “Big Data Analytics and Data Science” and show how the vast amounts of data created from emerging technologies can be effective in creating the right business value.
Oracle and Mannai will present proven big data, video intelligence, and business analytics solutions that will benefit both public and private sector organisations.
Delegates will include senior Qatar government officials, private sector top management, oil and gas experts, and professionals from the finance industry, as well as marketing and sales managers.
