Building a data science team for the enterprise - SD Times

According to Forrester research from 2015, 66 percent of global data and analytics decision-makers reported that their firms either expanded or are planning to implement Big Data technologies within the next 12 months. Enterprises today are becoming more serious about Big Data and analytics, and they're looking to attract data science talent so they can achieve all of their objectives for their data programs. "There are certain data science rock stars [who are] completely up to speed on deep learning and typically have a doctorate degree," said Thomas Dinsmore, a Big Data science expert who works at Cloudera. "The big tech companies basically bid up the salaries of those folks, so hiring is challenge and difficult, but not impossible."
