CCSQ Data Camp
Purpose: The CCSQ Data Camps are multi-session, multi-day events focused on educating the CCSQ Data & Analytics user community featuring technical experts and special guests from various LOBs and ADOs. SAS Viya/CDR users are welcome to attend and automatically receive the invitation to these calls.
The recordings from previous Data Camps can be found in the section below. Slide decks or transcripts from the sessions are available upon request.
This year’s theme was on “Quality Data Analytics Innovation”, as our session speakers will provide guidance and perspective on CCSQ’s future enhancements and vision for both data and analytics tools.
