Drum roll… Starting from well over 100 nominations, we are excited to announce the finalists for this year's Data Impact Awards! Each year, nominees have raised the bar, and this year is no exception. The level of impact that organizations have shown and the variety of use cases are inspiring. From AI models that power retail customer decision engines to utility meter analysis that disables underperforming gas turbines, these finalists demonstrate how machine learning and analytics have become mission-critical to organizations around the world. Two weeks from today we will announce the winners at the Data Impact Awards Celebration on Tuesday, 11th September the week of Strata Data 2018, New York.
