Companies across the world face a shortage of data science talent; companies in legacy industries can't attract the best folks and new-age companies struggle with too many projects for the available bandwidth. 2/

A beautiful thing about new tech is the deflationary impact it has to enable access to a product or service for new users. @rapidcanvas, a flag-bearer for the new Service-as-a-Software movement, is helping cos make sophisticated data-backed decisions. More in 🧵
