Abstract:
|
IT infrastructure is a key enabler in the lifecycle of developing and implementing statistical insights. However, lack of proper computing infrastructure is commonly cited as a key reason for not being to able to maximize the value of investments in the analytic process as well as a contributing cause of statistician dissatisfaction and poor morale. The relationship between the technical disciplines of IT and Statistics is complex. Effective partnership between IT and Statistician teams is important to building the right infrastructure. This paper discusses the nature of the problem and presents an example of deep collaboration between these teams in sourcing a solution that addresses some of the issues.
