The Badger Data Network, a vibrant community uniting data, analytics, visualization, and business intelligence enthusiasts, promotes using institutional data to support progress and implement strategic initiatives.
It is the central hub for:
- Promoting the use of available resources.
- Discussing best practices.
- Fostering communication.
We meet monthly on the third Wednesday from 10:00 to 10:50 am via Zoom.
Our next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, November 19th.
Brad Sanders, DAPIR’s Director of Enterprise Data Management, will join us to discuss the Badger Data Platform, a new UW—Madison enterprise institutional data ecosystem that comprises services and tools designed to advance the use of our data and data-informed decision-making, simplifying data access. The platform will:
- Provide a single location to find and query data.
- Empower you to connect data from multiple systems.
- Use a unified security model.
Zoom passcode is WeLoveData.
