A two-day workshop on Business Analytics was hosted in Umeå as a part of a ”Smart facility services with IoT” project. During the workshop SCDI members helped the participants to understand the complex field of Data science and self-service analytics. Besides foundational knowledge on data exploration, visualization, and modeling, the participants received hands-on instruction on data analysis software. The participants included members of Umeå Kommun, Umeå Energi, Umefast, Region Västerbotten, and others. The workshop was developed by Vasili Mankevich.

The ”Smart facility services with IoT” project addresses the challenge of managing and modernizing old real estate through digitization to optimize operation, maintenance and use of public premises. Through the sensors gathering data about the actual activity in the premises, the project will contribute to new real estate services in the area of Internet-of-Things (IoT) Internet for Public Operations. The project is led by Katrin Jonsson.
