La Bourse de New York, lieu de prédilection des surperformants
HOUSTON, Feb. 4, 2014 – PROS® (NYSE: PRO), a big data software company, today announced that noted big data authority, celebrated statistician and former political reporter Nate Silver will deliver the keynote address at its Outperform 2014 conference, scheduled for February 19-20 at the New York Stock Exchange.
Deemed a ‘spreadsheet psychic’ ‘number-crunching prodigy’ and a ‘master of prediction,’ Silver is the author of New York Times’ best seller The Signal and the Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail – But Some Don’t. Silver established his credentials as an analyst of baseball statistics, developing a widely acclaimed system called PECOTA – Player Empirical Comparison and Optimization Test Algorithm – which predicts player performance, career development, and seasonal winners and losers. A former New York Times political reporter, Silver’s approach to thinking probabilistically using big data and analytics has established him as one today’s foremost prognosticators.
“Outperform provides exceptional opportunities for pricing and sales leaders to share how big data can create competitive advantages in their businesses,” said PROS Chief Marketing Officer Tim Girgenti. “Nate Silver adds an exciting dimension to our conference. As a high-profile expert on the value of data across a number of industries, we look forward to his insights in the realm of predictive and prescriptive analytics.”
The two-day event features an impressive speaker line-up of PROS customers and industry experts who will share their insights and experiences of using big data to sell better.
