Report Task

Given the following list of companies:

• Woolworths
• Coles
• RACQ
• AutoGuru
• RightCrowd
• Youi
• BHP
• RIO
• Other (only on approval from me)

Choose ONE of these companies. Imagine that the CDO of the company you have selected has contacted you in your capacity as a Big Data infrastructure consultant. The CDO would like a short report about the data analytics infrastructure that the company already has for one of its data analytics activities and what you would recommend that may enhance its operations for this activity. You will need to do quite a bit of research on what data analytics activities the company is currently doing. You may need to make some reasonable assumptions given that it may not be possible to discover all of the interworkings of the company.

The report needs to have the following structure:

• Title page and name of your report
• Table of Contents
• The Data Analytic Activity Description
• People
• Procedures
• Data
• Software
• Hardware
• Conclusions
• References (APA 6^th style) The specifications are as follows:
• The Data Analytic Activity Description must be one page and describe the activity you are focussing All of the other sections must be written in reference to this activity.
• People, Procedures, Data, Hardware, Software and Hardware should be one page each. This must include the current state and your recommendations for potential Please therefore have two subheadings “Current State” and “Recommendations”.
• Make sure your report follows a standard report style and all sections and subsections are appropriately numbered (e.g., “1.0 The Data Analytics Activity”).
• The Conclusions needs to be a

As this is a relatively short and succinct report, the CDO directs you to confine yourself to the major issues/components for each of the five categories. The ability to put your ideas in a clear and succinct form that the CDO can understand easily will be highly impressive. It may even earn you another consultancy.
