[Infovis] Online Certificate Program Targets Data Scientists

[H. Michelle Chen]

Dear Colleagues,


We're going to be hearing a lot about data agility, big data governance,
and machine learning this year. Those are three of the top six trends for
big data identified by Information Management.


As the field evolves, organizations are quickly adopting new models and
processes, creating a strong demand for data scientists. The #1 job in
America had 4,184 active job listings on Glassdoor as of January 1.
