Business Users

BDB provides two data visualization modules for business users to visualize their data.

• Familiarity with the business domain is beneficial, but if lacking, the person should collaborate closely with a UX Designer and Business Analyst for optimal design.

Data Scientist/ Citizen Data Scientist

This role demands proficiency in standard Python skills, complemented by a grasp of AI/ML concepts. Knowledge of TensorFlow/Keras is an additional asset.

• Exposure to various data sources is beneficial during complex deployments.

Secondary Roles (Nice to Have)

For any substantial transformation project, it's beneficial to have an in-house DevOps specialist and a Data Warehouse Architect. While these roles are not specific to BDB, they can greatly enhance the implementation:

Technical Architect

A technical Architect mainly focuses on installation and deployment aspects of the platform.

• This role requires DevOps skills, including sizing and installation expertise, as well as knowledge of cloud platforms.

• It's advisable to provide training for one person in this role.

Data Warehouse Architect

A Data Warehouse Architect focuses on data flow, data lake design, and overall data architecture.

• This role is primarily necessary for large and complex deployments.
