6. CPG teams have different pain points
Data Science Business Intelligence Management
“There are so many interesting data
streams out there, but we don’t have
time to speak to so many different
vendors, evaluate them and contract
with all of them.”
“Our GIS and BI teams are a bottleneck as
they need to deliver on various geospatial
projects. I need fast access to insights so I
can evaluate expansion opportunities
quickly.”
“We’re only a small Data Science team
to serve the whole organization, so I
don’t have much time for data
preparation - I need to focus on
analyses to drive decision-making”
