AutoGov at the University of Alabama's Business Analytics Symposium

Posted by Taylor Phillips

AutoGov founder Gregg Phillips had the distinct pleasure of speaking at the 2012 Business Analytics Symposium hosted by the IBA, Institute of Business Analytics, at the University of Alabama.

Official "about" from the Symposium website:

The Business Analytics Symposium is a two day event exploring the diverse landscape of analytics in business. World-renowned experts in the fields of statistics, data mining, analytics, and business attend.

In addition to many excellent presentations and discussions, guests have the opportunity to interview and get to know University of Alabama students pursuing graduate degrees in Statistics, Business Analytics, and Economics.

In addition to meeting the up and coming talent, guests have the opportunity to network with seasoned colleagues. Many of our partners will take part in an exhibition following day one of the event where you will have the opportunity to learn about how they use analytics .

Past speakers include Bill Kahn of Traveler's insurance, Lan Guan of Accenture, Kevin Busby of Capital One, Sundar Dorai-Raj of Google, Gene Grabowski of Ford, Collen McCue of Geoeye Analytics, and Tom Bohannon of SAS.

AutoGov Salutes Our Veterans

Posted by Taylor Phillips

2011 has been a big year for us at AutoGov. We have implemented projects, met deadlines, and rebuilt our corporate technology structure. All of that is great for a small business, but it is good to look beyond just AutoGov. We would like to take a moment to thank all of our friends, collegues, and family that have served America.

Thank you for your sacrifice and keeping us out of harms way.

To those still deployed, please come home safe.
