Data-Driven E-commerce: How to scrape, process and visualize data about your competitors (Partner Showcase)
There are many opportunities an e-commerce operation can find in data - both its own and external. How to become an efficient data-driven organization without massive investments into technologies and the time and expense needed to build a data team? Our partners Apify and Revolt.bi will show how they use the Keboola, Apify and Tableau platforms to automate data processing for their customers in a way even a single-member team can set up and manage. While we will use competition monitoring and web scraping as our example - it is one of the use cases that can be done very easily but is often not attempted at all - we will venture into other examples on how you can (and our customers already do) receive a massive ROI on very modest investments into the right technology and services.On this webinar, you will:Learn about various use cases for web scraping in e-commerceSee an end-to-end example of competition product monitoringLearn how to build similar process on your own quickly and easilyMeet people who can helpAbout our partners:Apify (apify.com) can automate anything you can do manually in a web browser, and run it at scale.

The new data stack is already broken. Where to next?
Today, we have both data and the infrastructure needed to do complex processing. Despite this, only 3% of companies' data ends up when and where they need it. It’s the last mile problem.In the majority of cases, the architecture is too rigid and doesn’t allow for any innovation - everything takes a lot of time and is centralized with the IT department. In other cases, it’s pure chaos. Every team is doing their own thing, using different tools and pipes. There’s no security, no governance, but the main thing that’s lacking is any form of collaboration. That certainly doesn’t sound like “the new data stack” to us. How did we end up here and where do we go next?In this webinar, you’ll learn:The current state of data engineering and deliveryThree essential questions for assessing how good you are with dataFrom DevOps to DataOps: How DataOps brings clarity and efficiency Real-life examples of truly data-driven companies (which run Keboola on Azure)
