Element Financial Corporation announced that Jim Peregord, vice president for Advanced Analytics at Element Fleet Management spoke at the Cassandra Summit 2016 in San Jose, Calif., the world’s largest gathering of Apache Cassandra developers, users and industry thought leaders.
Element customers are looking for real-time, proactive insights and recommendations to improve the productivity, cost and safety of their fleets and drivers.
Peregord’s presentation, “Building a Pluggable Analytics Stack with Cassandra as the Foundation,” shares how Element’s advanced analytics infrastructure uses Cassandra to explore new connections across multiple, interrelated data sets from internal and third-party sources.
“Element Fleet has the largest fleet vehicle performance database in our industry and we needed a robust, fast and scalable platform to turn data into actionable insights for our customers,” said John Wall, chief technology officer, Element Fleet Management.
“The interconnection of vehicle data, fleet records, and real-time information is central to how we serve our clients. Our goal is to help customers explore the connections, find correlations they may never have considered and then impact those factors with pinpoint accuracy. This platform we’ve designed with Cassandra is built for today and the future – preparing Element both for the massive increase in data, and the need for continuous advancement in analytics capabilities around analytics.”
