We are excited to launch Cloudera’s annual Data Impact Awards, which recognizes organizations that are using Cloudera’s platform and services to unlock the power of data, with massive business and social impact.
With use cases across Manufacturing, Financial Services, Healthcare, and beyond, our customers are on the front lines tackling today’s biggest challenges. Every year we are astounded by the incredible projects our customers pursue, expanding the realm of what is possible in a data-driven world.
Last year our data superheroes showcased the value of a modern data platform to power digital transformation, to serve customers better, operate with greater efficiency, and strengthen security.
- PwC connected a global network of firms in 158 countries with different data sovereignty requirements, uniting them via one secure, agile, multi-cloud data platform.
- Ascension fought antimicrobial resistance and used data-driven insights to better understand the distribution patterns of infectious disease, uncovering benchmarks, and best practices along the way.
- Axiata built an omnichannel and multilingual chatbot to handle 50% of customer service queries, reserving human brainpower for the most vital tasks.
- Bank Rakyat Indonesia used data science to build a robust real-time fraud system, reducing the time-to-insights from weeks to seconds.
- First National Bank put the power of data directly in their customers’ hands, offering them insights into their own financial habits to help them meet their goals.
- United Overseas Bank used data science, and specifically, natural language processing, to understand market sentiment and trends.
- By uniting all of its customer data into one platform, Manulife refined the customer journey and shortened the time from insights to action, delivering a better customer experience.
- And we learned that data is even powering our government, with the U.S. Census Bureau using data insights to efficiently execute the 2020 Census, which for the first time in U.S. history is being conducted largely online instead of by mail.
