Digital Integration Centre of Excellence (DICE): Data-Driven Research

如今，简单的设备更加智能。LED灯泡可以由你的手机控制。这些设备不仅为我们做事情，它们还收集和存储数据。这场数字革命引发了全球和地区公司对应用研究项目的需求增加。这种需求越来越多地指向萨斯喀彻温省理工学院(SKPoly)的数字集成卓越中心(DICE)。2014年。我们的研究人员与所有规模和所有行业的公司合作，寻找从其业务产生的数据中获得洞察力的新方法，以及同等重要的保护这些数据的方法。我们对这些请求的回应需要对应用研究采取跨学科和协作的方法，创建资源和关系网络，然后可以要求这些资源和关系网络在未来的项目中提供协助。这项技术接入中心(TAC)应用程序旨在确保该地区的工业在短期和长期基础上都能获得这些资源，并确保我们能够继续增长，以满足当地、区域和国家对数据驱动型应用研究的需求。目前由DICE执行的应用研究项目中有95%是针对中小型企业的：从而使该区域在履行我们的任务时受益。DICE在TAC计划下增加应用研究能力的计划涉及人员预算、项目管理、业务发展、基础设施运营和知识转让。获得这笔资金将维持和扩大DICS当前的增长，同时扩大与行业和组织的长期资本和伙伴关系解决方案。

Today, simple devices are smarter. LED light bulbs can be controlled by your phone. These devices not only do things for us, they also collect and store data. This digital revolution has sparked an increase in demand for applied research projects from global and regional companies. This demand is increasingly directed toward the Digital Integration Centre of Excellence (DICE) at Saskatchewan Polytechnic (SKPoly), est. 2014. Our researchers work with companies of all sizes and across all sectors to find new ways of gaining insights from the data their businesses produce and, of equal importance, ways of protecting that data. Our responses to such requests require interdisciplinary and collaborative approaches to applied research that create networks of resources and relationships, which can then be called upon to assist in future projects. This Technology Access Centre (TAC) application seeks to ensure that these resources are available to industry in this region on both short- and long-term bases, and that we can continue to grow in order to meet local, regional and national needs for data-driven applied research. Ninety-five percent of the applied research projects currently performed by DICE are with small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs): thereby benefiting the region in fulfillment of our mandate. DICE's plan to increase capacity for applied research under the TAC program involves budgeting for personnel, project management, business development, infrastructure operation, and knowledge transfer. Securing this funding will sustain and amplify DICEs current growth, while expanding long-term capital and partnership solutions with industry and organizations.
