3 The GCC has jumped a curve from Business Intelligence to Big Data. Forward looking organisations in Qatar now have many successful POC s and use cases to support their future Analytics planning Kumar Ramanujam, Director of Conferences, TMC (Event Organisers) Dear Participant Thank you for attending the Qatar Big Data and Analytics Workshops 2015 which took place successfully on 7 8 June at the Doha Marriott Hotel. The Workshops hosted more than 50 attendees and received widespread praise from speakers and audience members for the intellectual quality of the presentations and the high-level networking opportunities provided. The two days workshops were designed to reinforce the importance of new Qatari IT investment into Business Intelligence and Big Data, with strong support from our two lead sponsors, Mannai and Oracle. Delegates learned about scores of important use-cases as well as intensive seminars on Data Visualisation and Data Science. Practical illustrations dealt with specific issues covered education, transport, telecoms, utilities, IT, airline, banking, energy, sports, healthcare and retail sectors. One important issue that emerged was the need for more home-grown IT talent and for regional universities to build courses around complicated business challenges such as Big Data analysis. Shortage of talent seems to be a key issue and data scientists are currently rare commodities. The two masterclass leaders were recognised international thought-leaders: Dr Mouwafac Sidaoui, Associate Professor and Chair Department of Business Analytics and Information Systems, University of San Francisco and Dr Satyam Priyadarshy, Chief Data Scientist, Halliburton. Delegates attended from the Qatar Ministries of Public Works, Education and Transport, Ooredoo, Qatar Central Bank, Qatar Investment Authority, Electricity & Co-Generation Regulatory Authority, Anti-Doping Laboratory Qatar, Qatar Olympic Committee, Qatar Petroleum, Qatar Gas, ICT Qatar, Al Khaliji Bank, Hamad Medical Corporation, Aspire Zone, Landmark Group and Gulf Mall, among others.
