data scientist

Turn off the alarm clock out of bed and look at the phone. Whatsapp answer a few of your friends owls, answer a few personal emails and a couple more from work and turn on the radio while preparing breakfast, I take while viewing the media or on the Internet that offer you saw the other day. Only these little routines, and generate millions of data impossible to digest in the old way, so it requires new systems: it is what is known as the phenomenon of Big Data.

“Big Data is based on high-speed analysis of a large volume and variety of data through innovative and cost effective ways of processing to improve understanding and decision-making,” explains Professor of Master in Digital Business at ESADE, Josep Lluís Cano.

Some figures to understand the sheer volume of information that are generated 40 billion photos Facebook or manages more than one million transactions per hour Walmart records, equivalent to 167 times all the information from the Library of Congress United States, one of the largest in the world.

The process of this deluge of data is performed through means based on information and communications technology (ICT) systems evolving. This ordering is essential to analyze the information we generate, so that it can give you later use. Cano detailed that data people produce, are useful for progress in many areas: health, logistics, energy, administration and, of course, trade and marketing.

Fingerprint and commercial use

Nobody finds it strange because after a flight search in Internet, the next day his Facebook page appears flooded with offers of hotels and restaurants in the city selected. This happens because when you travel search of a fingerprint that makes it identifies you as a potential customer of other businesses allowed.

From the point of view of consumers, we give our data when we accept, for example, conditions of a new application that down to our smartphone.

We do it in exchange for a particular service or information, we are willing to assign as the relationship compensate us, “said Cano, who stresses that often accept these conditions without even reading them.

The academic stresses that the process of data an individual does not represent a violation of their privacy always to be given for statistical purposes, that is, if we consult a route in Google Maps can use our expertise to calculate the time of the journey, but not to control where we are and what we do.

In this sense, appeals to the “ethical sense” of the organizations in using the data to which they have access, since there is no regulation in this respect that concrete limits.

Jobs

Increasing the amount of data generated it has occurred at the same time the penetration of new technologies, a phenomenon still fresh. This has led to the emergence of a new professional figure: the data scientist.

“It’s a very complex profile, as it must be someone with technical knowledge of computers, systems integration and statistics; with business acumen to analyze the data, and with imagination and communication skills to explain them to know”.

The lack of trained professionals in this area has led to multidisciplinary teams who are in charge of data analysis as colleges and business schools are moving in the preparation of new professionals having all of these skills. “It’s a great opportunity to find out in the working world”

The power Ecommerce & Tech cluster creating new profiles in this area

E-commerce Barcelona

Since becoming the capital of Mobile in 2011, Barcelona has emphasized its vocation of technological reference in southern Europe. But there is one type of companies engaged in the information and communications technology (ICT) has highlighted over others: those engaged in trade via the Internet. To promote this kind of business, was born about a year ago and a half Ecommerce & Tech Barcelona, a cluster consists of more than 170 partners contributes to the positioning of the city in this sector and finding new professional profiles related to it.

One of the latest additions in the cluster is the Esade business school, who wants to lead talent management that reaches companies of e-commerce. “You have to understand and respond to the new profiles required by the sector,” said the director of the Executive Master in Digital Business ESADE, Xavier Busquets.

The scholar points out that there are three aspects that influence the development of e-commerce companies that have developed in the Catalan capital and the establishment of new companies:

. Ecosystem. A trading company through the network needs a constellation of ancillary companies that can give technological support to grow and consolidate. Thus, the existence of a district like 22 @ is a plus for the city, as firms have implemented in Barcelona technical services of proximity.

. Research and talent. Having ancillary businesses is important, but so is having close centers to research and develop new technologies and ways of working. Also, the training of professionals in the field of ICT allows companies nurture talent nearby, without leaving to look abroad. Busquets highlights the role of complex dedicated to R & D which exist in Catalonia, as well as the wide range of business schools “playing in the first division” globally.

. Administrative collaboration. The commitment of public bodies by new technologies and their implementation in the daily life of citizens, creates a sense of complicity in companies operating in a territory, as it provides them the realization of their projects. In recent years, Barcelona has turned to the incorporation of technological solutions to become a smart city, which is known as a smart city, which has encouraged the development of both indigenous technology companies as subsidiaries of large foreign corporations.

“The technology sector is best placed at present to generate employment,” Busquets says, stressing that training in new technologies is an option for young people who want to enter the labor market, but also for professionals who want to renew their skills.

Ecommerce & Tech Barcelona aims to help triple the number of companies in the sector until 2018, so that a critical mass of hiring more than 15,000 professionals and a sector aggregate revenues, up from € 6,000m will be achieved.

Among companies with e-commerce based in Barcelona include leaders in their field at European level as eDreams, Privalia or LetsBonus, and companies in other sectors that have opted for the distribution of its products through the network, such as financial institutions Banc Sabadell and La Caixa, as well as fashion brands like Mango and Desigual.
