The Analytics Academy offers tailored data science education to organisations that are willing to develop the skills of their professionals to become a data-driven organisation. Since our founding in 2016 we’ve succesfully completed several in-house and open-enrollment courses. These courses vary from a 1-day theoretical “deep learning” crash course, a high level executive analytics bootcamp, till full fledged hands-on data scientists training programs. These stories are shared below:

| At TomTom we organised a 1 day AI and deep learning course delivered by two of our top lecturers: Marcel Worring (full professor in data science for business analytics at UvA) and Lex Knape (Chief Data Science Officer at ORTEC). | At CPB we delivered a course aimed to extend their toolbox with models from the domain of Machine Learning and to create awareness of new open data. A full story can be found here. |
The demand for data science talent has exploded recently. Companies are struggling to find big data expertise. By working with ORTEC the UvA can meet that demand, providing lecturers with a background in research and in business services practice.

We help you to think in a strategic way about your analytics capability. Our Analytics Talent Scan® consists of four steps:
The Big Data Portal is a web- based environment where starting and advanced Data Scientists can perform analytics and build end-user applications without dealing with IT infrastructure installation and configuration.
It offers a seamless integration of storage-, modeling- and visualization methods, which provide the opportunity to focus on extracting insights from data.
It leverages best-of-breed technologies such as Azure Data Factory, Hadoop, R, Machine Learning models and Spotfire. The Big Data Portal runs in the Microsoft Azure cloud.
The design of the Big Data Portal ensures that it can be quickly adapted to the ever changing landscape of analytics techniques.
The Big Data Portal can easily be expanded by adding the latest and greatest (open source) techniques.
The Analytics Academy is a cooperation between Amsterdam Business School of the University of Amsterdam, ORTEC and Amsterdam Data Science.
