DataScience

CEO: Ian Swanson

Data scientists are in short supply and making the best use of their talents is a major goal for many data-driven companies.

DataScience offers the DataScience Cloud, an enterprise platform that helps businesses maximize the value of their data science teams by automating engineering tasks, streamlining workflows, and providing tools, libraries and built-in expertise.

DataScience was founded in 2014 and is based in Culver City, Calif. In October the company partnered with big data platform vendor MapR Technologies to create a joint solution that runs data science experiments on the MapR system to power a new generation of data-driven applications.
