Data is all around us, and it is becoming increasingly hard to abstract relevant insights from our data that lead to intelligent action. In this session, attendees will be introduced to the Microsoft Cortana Intelligence Suite of advanced analytics capabilities, and will see how raw data can be transformed into actionable insight that is used to save lives. At the core of this presentation is the recent White House “call to action” around traffic fatalities. During this highly interactive and demonstration-focsued session, we will introduce the problem presented and walk through the solution built using the Microsoft Data Platform.

Presenters: Jeff King and Brandon Rohrer
