open source in digital analytics - measurecamp v
DESCRIPTION
Open source software is shaping the development of digital analytics by giving professionals more freedom to control the access to and ownership of their data as well as customise their own analytics solutions. There are many benefits in open source software: from stronger privacy and security measure through to better support and customisation, it empowers us to do more with analytics. There are further advantages in vendor-independence and using hosted solutions in tandem with open source software. In my presentation, I’ll explore these benefits as well as the risks for analytics professionals using open source software. I’ll also take a look at broader trends in open source software in digital analytics as well as case studies on how enterprises are embracing it in day-to-day business.TRANSCRIPT
