While Starbucks' said its own statistical analysis of its data over promotions didn't reveal systemic racial discrimination, it found opportunities to create more transparency over its promotion practice, according to the report. These initiatives follow several others from the company aimed at creating more diversity and inclusion within its entire organization.
Starbucks currently uses Org 360, an analytics tool that offers leaders a snapshot of company representation, but the tool will be enhanced to include all retail job postings and better track promotion selection decisions, according to the report. The company plans to roll out the enhanced tool across all of its U.S. retail stores in May and will have one-on-one conversations with managers and all of its 200,000 employees to make sure they understand the system.

Upsolver enables no-code data analytics in the cloud with $25M funding | VentureBeat
Upsolver , a no-code startup that enables analytics on cloud data lakes, this morning announced that it raised $25 million in financing led by Scale Venture Partners. The company, which also today launched a free community edition of its product, says the funds will be used to hire engineers and scale its go-to-market efforts.
Enterprises are rapidly adopting the cloud — 68% of CIOs ranked migrating to the cloud as their top IT spending driver in 2020, according to a Deloitte survey . But building an analytics-ready cloud data lake can be complex and expensive. A recently published Statista report found that around 83% of cloud practitioners considered security, managing cloud spend, governance, and a lack of resources to be significant barriers to entry.
How analytics can help to catch and convict criminals | TechRadar
Organized crime has been on the rise during the pandemic. In 2020, the number of impersonation scams alone doubled, reaching 39,360 cases, with a total of £150.3 million taken from bank accounts as a result. These were criminals feigning to be HMRC officials, NHS staff and Royal Mail representatives.
COVID-19 has certainly been a contributing factor to this uptick in crime. It has put high financial pressure on people and disrupted the services which are often used to identify and convict criminals. Not only that but government support packages hurriedly put together are always going to be a target. Combined, this has created a hotbed for criminal activity and one which the public sector has struggled to quell.
What makes up an analytics pipeline?
In today's data-driven economy, companies can't afford to have data-related issues, but many still do. Despite the exploding volume of data organizations continue to amass, they're still having trouble accessing and using that data.
To accelerate the speed and accuracy of data analytics insights, data engineers are constructing data analytics pipelines -- or data pipelines -- to operationalize data.
An analytics pipeline streamlines data flow to improve the speed and quality of insights. Similar to a continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline used by a DevOps team, the speed advantage of an analytics pipeline hinges on automating tasks.

Predictive Analytics Tool Forecasts Future COVID-19 Surges
April 06, 2021 - The National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF) has launched its COVID-19 Index, a predictive analytics tool that will help leaders prepare for future surges of coronavirus.
The COVID-19 Index will enable communities and healthcare organizations to see where cases of the virus are expected to surge and allow them to focus their resources on areas most impacted by COVID-19. The tool could help improve and speed response times from government agencies and other officials, as well as help healthcare organizations prepare for increased volumes of patients.

The Value Index for Analytics and Data is based on a comprehensive examination of 18 vendors’ products in seven evaluation categories, five that evaluate the products’ experience and the ability to support the breadth and depth of business and technology needs for analytics and data and two that address customer experience and the supporting vendor validation and total cost of ownership/return on investment.
"The value of analytics and data technology is an essential priority and the evaluation criteria and methods used are less than effective in most organizations," said Mark Smith, CEO and Chief Research Officer at Ventana Research.
Upsolver Raises $25M Series B Round to Reinvent Analytics on Cloud Data Lakes | Business Wire
Companies are rapidly migrating their organizational data into cost-effective cloud data lakes. However, making the data valuable for analytics requires complex engineering projects that take months to complete and rely on unicorn data engineers skilled in distributed systems like Apache Hadoop or Apache Spark.
With Upsolver, cloud analytics can be both cost-effective and agile. Upsolver addresses the complex challenge of transforming raw, big data into structured tables with a visual SQL IDE that any data practitioner can use, combined with an execution engine that automates data lake engineering to ensure high-performance.
