Oracle acquisition DataScience.com, a cloud-based workspace platform for data science projects and workloads. Financial details of the deal are not available.
Founded in 2014, the platform allows data science teams to organise work, easily access data and computing resources, and execute end-to-end model development workflows. It counts a number of leading organisations as customers, including Amgen, Rio Tinto and Sonos, and provides self-service access to open source tools, data and computing resources.
“Every organisation is now exploring data science and machine learning as a key way to proactively develop competitive advantage, but the lack of comprehensive tooling and integrated machine learning capabilities can cause these projects to fall short,” Oracle says. “With the combination of Oracle and DataScience.com, customers will be able to harness a single data science platform to more effectively leverage machine learning and big data for predictive analysis and improved business results.”
Once the buy is finalised DataScience.com will be integrated into the Oracle big data, analytics and data sciences offering, creating a unified self-serve interface leveraging on Oracle Cloud infrastructure.
