Data Professionals Prefer A Hybrid Approach to Tools and Technologies

Buffer

I recently reached out to data professionals on LinkedIn to ask a series of questions about their work. Results from one of those polls revealed that 58% of data pros reported that they prefer a hybrid approach (on premises and cloud) for their tools and technologies. About a third of respondents preferred the cloud. Only 6% of respondents preferred on premises. See figure below.

What are the differences between data pros who prefer hybrid vs those who prefer cloud? I am attempting to answer that question in study I am currently conducting. Currently, I am conducting a large-scale survey of data professionals by asking them a set of questions about their work in data science and machine learning. If you are a data pro, please consider answering this survey. In addition to the poll question above, the survey will cover such topics as skill sets, solutions used, company’s ethics practices and roadblocks to insights, and more.

The survey will take you about 10-15 minutes to complete. Your responses will remain strictly anonymous. However, if you wish to receive a free executive report of the findings, you will be asked to provide your name and email address at the end of the survey so that we can email you the report when completed (in a few weeks after the survey closes). In this case, if you do provide your email address, your responses will remain confidential.

Thanks in advance for your help!
