>>long from Las Vegas. It's the Q covering a ws re invent 2019. Brought to you by Amazon Web service is and in along with its ecosystem partners. >>Hey, welcome back to the Cube. Lisa Martin at AWS Reinvent 19. This is Day three of the Cubes coverage. We have two sets here. Lots of cute content are joined by Justin Warren, the founder and chief analyst at Pivot nine. Justin. How's it going? Great, right? You still have a voice? Three days? >>Just barely. I've been I've been trying to take care of it. >>Impressed. And you probably have talked to at least half of the 65,000 attendees. >>I'm trying to talk to as many as I can. >>Well, we're gonna talk to another guy here. Joining us from data ICU is well, Novak, the solutions architect will be the Cube. >>Thanks for having me. >>You have a good voice too. After a three day is that you >>have been doing the best I can. >>Yeah, he's good. So did ICU. Interesting name. Let's start off by sharing with our audience. Who did a coup is and what you guys do in technology. >>Yes. So the Entomology of date ICU. It's like hi cooze for data. So we say we take your data and, you know, we make poetry out of it. Make your data so beautiful. Wow, Now, But for those who are unaware Day like it was an enterprise data science platform. Eso we provide a collaborative environment for we say coders and clickers kind of business analyst and native data scientists to make use of organizations, data bill reports and Bill productive machine learning base models and deploy them. >>I'm only the guy's been around around for eight years. Eight years. Okay, >>so start up. Still >>mourning the cloud, the opportunity there That data is no longer a liability. It's an asset or should be. >>So we've been server based from the start, which is one of our differentiators. And so by that we see ourselves as a collaborative platform. Users access it through a Web browser, log into a shared space and share code, can share visual recipes, as we call them to prepare data. >>Okay, so what customers using the platform to do with machine learning is pretty hot at the moment. I think it might be nearing the peak of the life cycle pretty hot. Yeah, what a customer is actually actually doing on the platform, >>you know, So we really focus on enabling the enterprise. So, for example, G has been a customer for some time now, and Sergey is a great prototypical example on that. They have many disparate use cases, like simple things like doing customer segmentation for, you know, marketing campaigns but also stuff like Coyote predicted maintenance. So use cases kind of run the gamut, and so did ICU. Based on open source, we're enabling all of G's users to come into a centralized platform, access their data manipulated for whatever purposes. Maybe >>nobody talked about marketing campaigns for a second. I'm wondering. Are, is their integration with serum technologies? Or how would a customer like wanting to understand customer segmentation or had a segment it for marketing campaign? How would they work in conjunction with a serum and data ICU, for example? >>It's a great question. So again, us being a platform way sit on a single server, something like an Amazon ec2 instance, and then we make connections into an organization's data sources. So if using something like Salesforce weaken seamlessly, pull in data from Salesforce Yuka manipulated in date ICU, but the same time. Maybe also have some excel file someone you know me. I can bring that into my data to work environment. And I also have a red shift data table. All those things would come into the same environment. I can visualize. I can analyze, and I can prepare the data. I see. >>So you tell you it's based on open source? I'm a longtime fan of over. It's always been involved in it for longer than I care to remember. Actually, that's an interesting way t base your product on that. So maybe talk us through how you how you came to found the company based on basic an open source. What? What led to that choice? What? What was that decision based on? >>Yeah, for sure. So you talked about how you know the hype cycle? A. I saw how hot is a I and so I think again, our founders astutely recognize that this is a very fast moving place to be. And so I'm kind of betting on one particular technology can be risky. So instead, by being a platform, we say, like sequel has been the data transformation language do jour for many days now. So, of course, that you can easily write Sequel and a lot of our visual data Transformations are based on the sequel language, but also something like Python again. It's like the language de jour for machine law machine learning model building right now, so you can easily code in python. Maintain your python libraries in date, ICU And so by leveraging open source, we figured we're making our clients more future proof as long as they're staying in date ICU. But using data ICU to leverage the best in breed and open source, they'll always be kind of where they want to be in the technological landscape by supposed to locked into some tech that is now out of date. >>What's been the appetite for making data beautiful for a legacy enterprise, like a G E that's been around for a very long time versus a more modern either. Born in the Cloud er's our CEO says, reborn in the cloud. What are some of the differences but also similarities that you see in terms of we have to be able to use emerging tech. Otherwise someone's gonna come in behind us and replace us. >>Yeah, I mean, I think it's complicated in that there's still a lot of value to be had in someone says, like a bar chart you can rely on right, So it's maybe not sexy. But having good reporting and analytics is something that both you know, 200 year old enterprise organizations and data native organizations startups needs. At the same time, building predicted machine learning models and deploying those is rest a p i n points that developers can use in your organization to provide a data driven product for your consumers. Like that's amore advanced use case that everyone kind of wants to be a part of again data. Who's a nice tool, which says Maybe you don't have developers who are very fluent in turning out flashed applications. We could give you a place to build a predictive model and deploy that predictive model, saving you time to write all that code on the back end. >>One of the themes of the show has been transformation, so it sounds like data ICU would be It's something that you can dip your toes in and start to get used to using. Even if you're not particularly familiar with Time machine learning model a model building. >>Yeah, that's exactly right. So a big part of our product and encourage watchers to go try it out themselves and go to our website. Download a free version pretrial, but is enablement. So if you're the most sophisticated applied math PhD there is, like, Who's a great environment for you to Code and Bill predictive models. If you never built the machine learning model before you can use data ICU to run visual machine learning recipes, we call them, and also we give you documentation, which is, Hey, this is a random forest model. What is a random forest model? We'll tell you a little bit about it. And that's another thing that some of these enterprises have really appreciated about date I could. It is helping up skill there user base >>in terms of that transformation theme that Justin just mention which we're hearing a lot about, not visit this show. It's a big thing, but we hear it all the time, right? But in terms of customers transformation, journey, whatever you wanna call it, cloud is gonna be an essential enabler of being able to really love it value from a I. So I'm just wondering from a strategic positioning standpoint. Is did ICU positioned as a facilitator or as fuel for a cloud transformation that on enterprise would undergo >>again? Yes, great point. So for us, I can't take the credit. This credit goes to our founders, but we've thought from the start the clouds and exciting proposition Not everyone is. They're still in 2019. Most people, if not all of them, want to get there. Also, people want too many of our clients want the multi cloud on a day. Like who says, If you want to be on prim, if you want to be in a single cloud subscription. If you want to be multi cloud again as a platform, we're just gonna give you connection to your underlying infrastructure. You could use the infrastructure that you like and just use our front end to help your analyst get value. They can. I >>think I think a lot of vendors across the entire ecosystem around to say the customer choice is really important, and the customers, particularly enterprise customers, want to be able to have lots of different options, and not all of them will be ready to go completely. All in on cloud today. They made it may take them years, possibly decades, to get there. So having that choice is like it's something that it would work with you today and we'll work with you tomorrow, depending on what choices you make. >>It's exactly right. Another thing we've seen a lot of to that day, like who helps with and whether it's like you or other tools. Like, of course, you want best in breed, but you also want particularly for a large enterprise. You don't want people operating kind of in a wild West, particularly in like the ML data science space. So you know we integrate with Jupiter notebooks, but some of our clients come to us initially. Just have I won't say rogues that has a negative connotation. But maybe I will say Road road data Scientists are just tapping into some day the store. They're using Jupiter notebooks to build a predictive model, but then to actually production allies that to get sustainable value out of it like it's to one off and so having a centralized platform like date ICU, where you can say this is where we're going to use our central model depository, that something where businesses like they can sleep easier at night because they know where is my ML development happening? It's happening in one ecosystem. What tools that happening with, well, best in breed of open source. So again, you kind of get best of both worlds like they like you. >>It sounds like it's more about the operations of machine learning. It is really, really important rather than just. It's the pure technology. Yes, that's important as well, and you need to have the data Sinus to build it, but having something that allows you to operationalize it so that you can just bake it into what we do every day as a business. >>Yeah, I think in a conference like this all about tech, it's easy to forget what we firmly believe, which is a I and maybe tech. More broadly, it's still human problems at the core, right? Once you get the tech right, the code runs corrected. The code is written correctly. Therefore, like human interactions, project management model deployment in an organization. These are really hard, human centered problems, but so having tech that enables that human centric collaboration helps with that, we find >>Let's talk about some of the things that we can't ever go to an event and not talk about. Nut is respected data quality, reliability and security. Understood? I could facilitate those three cornerstones. >>Yeah, sure. So, again, viewers, I would encourage you to check out the date. ICU has some nice visual indications of data quality. So an analyst or data scientists and come in very easily understand, you know, is this quality to conform to the standards that my organization has set and what I mean by standards that could be configured. Right? So does this column have the appropriate schema? Does it have the appropriate carnality? These are things that an individual might decide to use on then for security. So Data has its own security mechanisms. However, we also to this point about incorporating best Retek. We'll work with whatever underlying security mechanisms organizations organizations have in place. So, for instance, if you're using a W s, you have, I am rolls to manage your security. Did ICU comport those that apply those to the date ICU environment or using something like on prime miss, uh, duke waken you something like Kerberos has the technology to again manage access to resources. So we're taking the best in breed that this organization already has invested time, energy and resources into and saying We're not trying to compete with them but rather were trying to enable organizations to use these technologies efficiently. >>Yeah, I like that consistency of customer choice. We spoke about that just before. I'm seeing that here with their choices around. Well, if you're on this particular platform will integrate with whatever the tools are there. People underestimate how important that is for enterprises, that it has to be ahead. Virginia's environment, playing well with others is actually quite important. >>Yeah, I don't know that point. Like the combination of heterogeneity but also uniformity. It's a hard balance to strike, and I think it's really important, giving someone a unified environment but still choice. At the same time. A good restaurant or something like you won't be able to pick your dish, but you want to know that the entire quality is high. And so having that consistent ecosystem, I think, really helps >>what are, in your opinion, some of the next industries that you see there really right to start Really leveraging machine learning to transfer You mentioned g e a very old legacy business. If we think of you know what happened with the ride hailing industry uber, for example, or fitness with Saletan or pinchers with visible Serge, what do you think is the next industry? That's like you guys taking advantage of machine learning will completely transform this and our lives. >>I mean, the easy answer that I'll give because it's easy to say it's gonna transform. But hard to operationalize is health care, right? So there is structured data, but the data quality is so desperate and had a row genius s, I think you know, if organizations in a lot of this again it's a human centered problem. If people could decide on data standards and also data privacy is, of course, a huge issue. We talked about data security internally, but also as a customer. What day to do I want you know, this hospital, this health care provider, to have access to that human issues we have to result but conditional on that being resolved that staring out a way to anonymous eyes data and respect data privacy but have consistent data structure. And we could say, Hey, let's really set these a I M L models loose and figure out things like personalized medicine which were starting to get to. But I feel like there's still a lot of room to go. That >>sounds like it's exciting time to be in machine learning. People should definitely check out products such as Dead Rock you and see what happens. >>Last question for you is so much news has come out in the last three days. It's mind boggling sum of the takeaways, that of some of the things that you've heard from Andy Jassy to border This'll Morning. >>Yeah, I think a big thing for me, which was something for me before this week. But it's always nice to hear an Amazon reassures the concept of white box. Aye, aye. We've been talking about that a date ICU for some time, but everyone wants performance A. I R ml solutions, but increasing. There's a really appetite publicly for interpret ability, and so you have to be responsible. You have to have interpret belay I and so it's nice to hear a leader like Amazon echo that day like you. That's something we've been talking about since our start. >>A little bit validating them for data ICU, for sure, for sure. Well, thank you for joining. Just to be on the kid, the suffering. And we appreciate it. Appreciate it. All right. For my co host, Justin Warren, I'm Lisa Martin and your work to the Cube from Vegas. It's AWS reinvent 19.
