How Runtastic Leverages Integration of R Into Microsoft’s Data Platform

Runtastic believes in a world where people live longer, healthier lives. We approach this goal by
gaining insights out of data, to make eg. better training plans or to help motivating users. While gathering data is, in times of big data, no problem at all from a technical perspective, taming the data and gaining useful insights, can be challenging.

Come to this talk to learn about which services of Microsoft’s data platform benefit so far from this integration process and to hear about how we made use of that at Runtastic.
