This week we are joined by two of Moser's top Data and Analytics experts who are going to talk about the mindset a company should have regarding data and analytics strategy.

Shaun McAdams is Moser's Vice President of Data & Analytics and Warren Sifre is the Director of Strategy within Moser's Data & Analytics group.

This week's discussion is with Moser's Director of Quality, Alphia Stephens. It may sound simple, but quality is a complex and ever-evolving challenge. In today's episode, we take a deep dive into Quality and some of its components. And we're very fortunate to have Alphia join us.

This week we talk with Dr. Carlotta Berry about increasing diversity in STEM.

Dr. Berry co-founded Rose-Hulman’s Building Undergraduate Diversity (RoseBUD) program, which encourages students from underrepresented groups to seek STEM careers; helped student scholars organize an annual SPARK! campus event that brings together high school and college students to work on hands-on projects (this year’s virtual event is scheduled for March 20); and has been co-director of the institute’s multidisciplinary robotics academic program. 

At Rose-Hulman, Berry has taught courses from mobile robotics to human/robot interaction to electrical engineering design. She has encouraged students to learn by tinkering, hacking, and making mistakes. She has even shipped low-cost kits to students’ homes to facilitate online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

It's not easy being Green. Especially in Technology.

A technology company has all of the normal environmental concerns as any other office such as using paper, resources like lighting and heating an office space. But tech has more responsibilities.

Computers use a lot of power. Data centers full of Servers use a lot of power. They produce a lot of heat that has to be cooled all year round. And computer hardware uses a lot of resources in their production. Parts of computer equipment are made from toxic materials such as lead, mercury, and PCBs. Those need to be responsibly sourced and disposed of properly.

Green IT is a complicated ball of string to unravel.

This episode deals with disaster recovery and backups for your business. Yes, you should probably have a business continuity plan, but what should that plan entail? How often should you backup your data and how do you determine what is critical and what you can get by without?
