SUMMARY:An Intro to Service Design
DESCRIPTION:“An intro to what?” This is a common question many ask after hearing this term. Join us to discover the real meaning of service design and how simple and handy it is to introduce it to various business environments. Experts say that the experience of a service or product is able to drive a business or even a whole industry. But how do you identify customer’s needs? How do you know what business aspects are key? How can designers effectively  pitch an intangible idea to executives?    Service design tools and methods facilitate conversations and reduce communication silos between people and processes.    IN THIS SESSION\, YOU WILL LEARN:  • what is Service Design  • what is the Service Blueprint tool  • how you can use this tool to evaluate and plan a holistic system\, understand customer  pain points\, and discover design opportunities    FEATURED COMMUNITY MEMBER  Sabina Pareja-Lecaros\, an Industrial and Service design graduate from Savannah College of Art and Design. Her past studies and work experience in Design Research\, Human-Centered Design and UX have converted her into a user advocate: always pushing to create and delight with meaningful experiences.

SUMMARY:Data Masters: Apache Spark
DESCRIPTION:Apache Spark is a general purpose\, high performance cluster computing framework\, especially used in Big Data. Spark replaces all the headaches of creating long and complicated data flows that might be needed on other platforms. Spark unifies different workflows under a simple and concise API so we can create very complicated data pipelines in minutes.    In the new IoT world\, the enterprise is aiming for streaming solutions that allow us to use standard query language and machine learning algorithms across hundreds of terabytes at the same time. Spark lets us do all that without compromising performance\, running up to 100x faster than other classic solutions.    Our guest speaker will be longtime Data Masters member\, Nicolas Perez. He’s a software engineer at IPC\, working on their Big Data platform\, and he’s a MapR Certified Spark Developer.    Spark is the future of high performance computing\, and it something you want to get your hands on.    Come learn about it at this event at TamboWorks in South Miami!
