Cloudera Customer Advocacy Manager for Marketing Communications, Arielle Diamond, explains Cloudera's fabulous Data Impact Awards - an annual program that recognizes organizations who are moving swiftly towards the future and building innovative solutions by making what was impossible yesterday, possible today.
Taking a moment to celebrate successes provides Cloudera with a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the incredible work they collaborate on - and their Data Impact Awards comprise a great way to reflect on success.
The awards program enables Cloudera to showcase the significant and important impact that projects have on organizations, on the business' bottom line, and on the world.
Unlocking the power of data
The Cloudera Data Impact Award categories aim to recognize organizations that are using Cloudera’s platform and services to unlock the power of data, with massive business and social impact. In light of a year of unprecedented disruptions where data has never been so important, and to reflect on the rapidly advancing world of data-led digital transformation, Cloudera is excited to announce a number of very exciting award categories.
One category in particular, the PEOPLE FIRST award category is a new category for 2021. This award is open to organizations that are tackling some of the most difficult workplace and societal challenges affecting companies and the world around us - transforming the future of workplace culture and society as a whole, throughout the employee lifecycle. Cases for this category are likely to include, but are not limited to: people analytics and reporting; employee recruiting, retention and development; employee resource groups; diversity, equality and inclusion strategy; supplier diversity, and more.
A further very exciting award category is the DATA FOR GOOD category. This is a popular category that looks for examples of organizations that have addressed some of the most challenging issues affecting society and the planet, making what was impossible yesterday, possible today and transforming the future. Use cases could include, but are not limited to: optimizing healthcare processes to save lives, data analysis for emergency resource management, building smarter cities with data science, using data and analytics to fight climate change, tackle the food crisis or prioritize actions against poverty, and more.
