In order to im-prove store level forecasting and in-stocks, we moved their legacy systems to a highly automated exception-based process on AWS cloud. Many routine decisions are automated using machine learn-ing, which enables a shift to week-ly and daily cycles, from what used to be on a monthly or quarterly ba-sis. We created an enterprise data lake using AWS S3 combined with Spark and Airflow to manage the big data workload in a distributed Hadoop environment.As mentioned, the demand for AWS is accelerating across different sectors. What further innovations are you planning for Core Compete in the future?We launched Core Compete's Ana-lytics Innovation Studio (AIS), a cloud-native solution for data sci-entists and engineers to drive se-cure personal analytical workspac-es for a variety of analytical tools. AIS can be launched in AWS to ac-complish important goals, such as faster time to value in launching analytical models, robust gover-nance of the data, code & pipelines, and cost control to fully manage with visibility, monitoring and control. This enables organiza-tions to build a World Class Data Science Organization.
