Algonquin College's Data Analytics Centre (DAC) will enable the College help company partners harness 'bigdata.' This will be accomplished by connecting company partners with teams of College students andprofessors who will work together on company project ideas.Two main groups of business partners will be assisted: 'Adopters' and 'Providers'. The Adopters are'main-street' companies and other non-technical organizations who seek to use data technologies to help themstreamline their processes, increase efficiency, make smarter decisions, and enhance their overallcompetitiveness. The Providers are companies who are developing and marketing their own analytics solutions.College teams will help these partners with proof-of-principle, software development, user-experience design,prototyping, testing and even market research - anything that will help the partner move towardcommercialization.Data technologies are currently among the greatest opportunities in engineering and business. Instead ofdeveloping new fundamental research, the DAC will focus on harnessing existing state-of-the-art algorithms,best practices, and tools in applied data science and engineering. This will include business intelligence, datasourcing and integration, cloud processing, machine-learning for predictive analysis and data visualization.Algonquin has been working with a growing number of companies in these areas and is ready to become aregional data analytics development hub. Thanks to NSERC funding, the DAC will allow the College to assistdynamic small- and medium-size enterprises in becoming a part of the new knowledge-based economy and toenhance prosperity for the Ottawa region. The DAC will complement, and extend, existing big data-relatedinitiatives at local universities, in industry and research support organizations. Inside the College, the DAC willprovide opportunities for faculty development and student training in applied research projects with 'live'industry partners. This will alleviate the shortage in IT workers with practical skills in data technologies.

阿尔冈昆学院的数据分析中心(DAC)将帮助该学院帮助公司合作伙伴利用“大数据”。这将通过将公司合作伙伴与大学生和教授团队联系起来，他们将在公司项目想法上共同工作。两个主要的商业合作伙伴群体将得到帮助：‘采纳者’和‘提供者’。采用者是“普通”公司和其他非技术组织，他们寻求使用数据技术来帮助他们简化流程、提高效率、做出更明智的决策，并增强他们的整体竞争力。提供商是正在开发和营销自己的分析解决方案的公司。大学团队将帮助这些合作伙伴进行原理验证、软件开发、用户体验设计、原型制作、测试甚至市场研究-任何有助于合作伙伴走向商业化的事情。数据技术目前是工程和商业领域最大的机会之一。DAC将专注于利用应用数据科学和工程中现有的最先进的算法、最佳实践和工具，而不是开发新的基础研究。这将包括商业智能、数据源和集成、云处理、用于预测分析和数据可视化的机器学习。阿尔冈昆一直在这些领域与越来越多的公司合作，并准备成为一个区域数据分析开发中心。多亏了NSERC的资助，DAC将使学院能够帮助充满活力的中小型企业成为新的知识经济的一部分，并促进渥太华地区的繁荣。发改委将补充和扩展当地大学、工业和研究支持组织现有的与大数据相关的倡议。在学院内部，数据发展中心将与“现场”业界合作伙伴，为教师发展和学生提供应用研究项目的培训机会。这将缓解拥有数据技术实用技能的信息技术工人的短缺。
