Identify Citizen Data Scientists and Provide the Support They Need to Succeed
When your business decides to begin a Citizen Data Scientist initiative, it faces numerous challenges but the resulting benefits the enterprise will reap from this program are undeniable. With the right preparation, every business can successfully enable this type of initiative and provide augmented analytics to improve collaboration, data literacy and digital transformation in the organization.
No software solution should be limited to desktops in today’s mobile environment. To make your team productive, you need to allow them to be mobile with all the important tools they use and there is no single crucial example of this that is more appropriate than business intelligence. If you want your business users to embrace and leverage self-serve business intelligence solutions, you need to be sure the solution you select is portable.
What is Augmented Analytics and Can it Benefit My Business?
What is the difference between analytics and augmented analytics? The simple answer is this: augmented analytics provide sophisticated analytics tools in an easy-to-use environment that offers guidance and recommendations, and a natural language processing (NLP) interface that makes it possible for every business user to leverage the solution, no matter their technical or analytical skills or experience.
If you live in this world, you know that there are people you want to know, people with whom you want a relationship, people who are helpful, trustworthy and productive. There are also those who show potential and promise; those relationships you choose to nurture in hopes of seeing a positive outcome. You also know that there are people who will waste your time and money and frustrate you until you end the relationship. Then there are the people who have some attribute or character trait that makes it hard to leave them behind. They might have a special skill or they might be popular or worth knowing in some way. But, you will definitely pay a price for continuing this relationship.
When a business chooses to follow the guidance of Gartner and embrace the Citizen Data Scientist initiative to transform business users and provide analytical tools for all team members, it must approach the initiative with appropriate planning.
The average business user does not have a full grasp of Advanced Data Discovery or Data Preparation methods, and most organizations would not want business users to waste precious time trying to navigate the complexities of a manual data preparation process. If a business provides a solid foundation for self-serve business intelligence with augmented data preparation features, business users can quickly and easily prepare data for analysis and get the results they need to move forward and make decisions.
The Centre for High Technology (CHT) is funded by the Oil Industry Board in India and is part of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. It was established in 1987 to anticipate future requirements, and acquire, develop and adopt technologies to advance refinery processes, petroleum products and other related areas.
Elegant MicroWeb worked with the Centre for High Technology (CHT) team to satisfy all objectives including the redesign of its public website using responsive layouts and user-friendly menus and navigation, the design and development of a Discussion Forum to be used by internal team members, a portal for the Refinery Technology Events Management (RTM) including attendee registration, the approval and publishing of expert abstracts, biographies and papers, as well as tasks related to events and approval workflows for internal team members. All project output included testing and auditing to ensure government regulations for data and user security in compliance with the India CERT-IN standards.

If your business has ongoing IT projects or support needs, or you are considering a development project for a software product or software application, mobile application, maintenance and support or any other technical project, you may not have the IT resources or skills to get it all done while still attending to your daily issues.
When asked about using an analytical solution to find and use data and make decisions, many business users feel insecure about the process required to get to the results. Data preparation has traditionally been the domain of a data scientist, a business analyst or an IT professional.
Every business has heard and read about business intelligence and the benefits of building a base of intelligence from which to drive your business results and make fact-based decisions. One of the benefits that is often overlooked is the aspect of Social BI. When a business chooses a BI tool that encourages social BI, it further promotes user adoption, data democratization and data literacy. As business users embrace and share data, their level of proficiency and comfort will increase and the business can achieve the results it hopes for and improve productivity, collaboration and the use of data within the organization.
