Description:

Open source R is no longer a fad or a tool used in the academic world. According to the Rexer survey,* R is the analytic software of choice for data scientists, business analysts, and data miners in the corporate world. Despite R's popularity, pervasive R adoption has lagged due to processing and data limitations.

This webcast discusses requirements for R as it evolves into a big data and enterprise-analytic solution and presents a novel approach to make Open source R massively scalable, reliable, and easy to use. Join James Taylor, CEO of Decision Management Solutions, and Bill Franks, Chief Analytics Officer of Teradata, as they take you through the "day in the life of an R analyst" and discuss:

• Open source R as the fastest-growing data science tool to interpret, analyze, and visualize data
• Enterprise requirements for a comprehensive R solution
• Teradata Aster R, an R interface to a powerful discovery platform, making R massively scalable, reliable, and easy to use
