FinExtra hears from a wide range of specialists within the sector, all of whom give their opinion on what 2021 holds for DevOps.  A few examples include: Nirav Chotai, Senior DevOps Engineer at Rakuten: “DataOps will definitely boom in 2021, and COVID might play a role in it. Due to COVID and WFH situation, consumption of digital content is skyrocket high which demands a new level of automation for self-scaling and self-healing systems to meet the growth and demand.” DevOps Architect at JFrog: “The "Sec'' part of DevSecOps will become more and more an integral part of the Software Development Lifecycle.

Weekly News Digest: 7th - 11th December 2020

This is Harnham’s weekly news digest, the place to come for a quick breakdown of the week’s top news stories from the world of Data & Analytics.  Raconteur: Implementing AI successfully The pandemic has undoubtedly accelerated the implementation of AI systems across a vast range of companies worldwide. Many business leaders and senior teams are aware of, and excited by, the huge scope of opportunities AI will bring into the workplace, especially when it comes to decision making. However, teams are still concerned and frustrated by the lack of understanding of the technology involved and the inadequate amount of reliable Data. With the help of AI and Data specialists, Raconteur explores how senior leaders can solve these issues; from the increasing the investment of both time and money in boosting employee skills training, creating high-quality Data silos or dispersing the workload across the whole team, Data Analysts have a key role to play.  There’s a lot of golden nuggets of advice in this piece, a great resource for Data teams looking to make their AI more effective and efficient in 2021.  Read the full article here. Tech Crunch: Amazon Web Service (AWS) adds natural language search service for business intelligence from its data sets Andy Jassy, CEO of Amazon Web Services, recently delivered a keynote speech at event AWS re:Invent where he discussed Amazon Web Services' latest upgrade – QuickSight Q.  In 2016, AWS launched QuickSight, a business intelligence service allowing business users to have access to product information and customer information, usually something only developers were privy too. But at the time, the natural language processing tools simply weren’t good enough for this to happen. Fast forward four years, and AWS has finally cracked it; QuickSight Q was born.  In this article by Tech Crunch, Jonathan Shieber explores how QuickSight Q will work and how the natural language processing in AWS is a direct challenge to several business intelligence startups.  Read the full article here. ZDNet: Amazon unveils Amazon HealthLake, Big Data store for Life Sciences Taking centre stage at this week’s Amazon Web Service event, AWS re:Invent, Vice President for AI at AWS, Matt Wood, unveiled an all-new service, Amazon HealthLake. The new AI system will be revolutionary for the healthcare and Life Sciences sector, especially when it comes early detection of illnesses such as diabetes.  As said by Wood, “[Currently] the work in these fields is hampered by the way that data is spread throughout numerous repositories in different formats, requiring weeks or months to prepare, stage, transform data.” This overwhelming abundance of data in healthcare can make it much harder for specialists to diagnose and treat patients efficiently.  We know that AWS HealthLake will be a way to store, transform, and analyse health and life science data in the cloud at petabyte scale, making the whole process a lot more streamlined and effective. One to keep an eye on.

With the quick and unexpected move to online and remote working as a direct impact of COVID-19, keeping on top of and up to date with technology, privacy and data consent has been an ever-growing challenge for brands, businesses and agencies worldwide.   Those businesses that have been putting data safety and consent first, over the past nine months especially, will get ahead of the competition. Those who haven’t are in danger of coming under fire from their own customers, and it may cause irreparable damage to their brand.  At the Drum Digital Summit last month, a panel of data specialists including Niall Hogan, Siva Jayaraj and Colleen Ngo, discussed exactly what brands need to know about data and most importantly data consent moving forward.  The panel agreed that the biggest issue lay in the education of data consent, and more should be done to raise awareness from a young age.  Click here to read more and to listen to the full panel discussion.
