RIS News speaks about data refinement and analytics with Dr. Andreas Weigend, Founder and Director, Social Data Lab, at the 2015 Retail & Consumer Goods Analytics Summit.

The never ending stream of social data flowing into retailers' databases has the power to transform the industry, but only if it is properly leveraged.

The field of analytics is evolving at breakneck speed and retailers are still working to uncover how to best leverage next-gen data to strengthen the bottom line.

Demand for data scientists is booming and every industry is in on the action.

Retailers view analytics as extremely strategic, but struggle to effectively leverage it across the enterprise.

Data is just a raw material unless it is converted into something useful.

The need to deliver strong business outcomes from advanced analytic capabilities throughout the demand chain is greater than ever.

Big data insights matter for naught if retailers are unable or unwilling to take action.

As retail becomes more and more dependent on big data analytics the role of the data scientist has been thrust into the spotlight.
