If you’ve been facing challenges related to data, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Our technical coaches have highly unique backgrounds, with experience in natural language processing, data visualization, monetization, licensing of data, and more. They’ve worked for everything from large businesses such as Pelmorex, Blackberry, Kik, to scaling companies such as Dozr. Some of them were co-founders themselves at one point or another. Many of them have been involved in the Communitech ecosystem for a very long time!

Data Growth Coaching Updates

It’s now been almost a full quarter since the launch of our Data Growth Coach program. We’re very excited to be helping our clients around Ontario at all different stages of their data journeys with their data acquisition, engineering, and science needs. So, what exactly have our coaches been up to? For many of us, planning is the first step in utilizing organizational information. So naturally, 23.1% of our coaching requests were focused on data strategy development. We’ve been compiling frequently asked questions around this topic, and we hope to release a guidebook for conducting data inventories soon (note: a data inventory is basically a comprehensive “important” data list)!

Other coaching appointments focus more on the issues around model development / selection, or the uphill battles of production deployment and scaling. To date, we’ve been working on an even split between data engineering and data science requests, most of which have revolved around NLP-related modeling or reviews of data architecture and pipelines to ensure scalability.

We look forward to assisting with your data needs!
