Company Partners with Top Schools to Provide Software, Knowledge Pipeline between University, Technology and BI Industry Professionals
Alteryx, the developer of the world's fastest and most robust Geographic Business Intelligence® technology platform, is teaming up with select North American universities to drive the power of spatial analytics and data management solutions into university course curricula to facilitate and encourage collaboration between industry and academia.
"University geography departments have advanced GIS learning and application for years," said Alteryx CEO and President Dean Stoecker. "But today, spatial intelligence has evolved to inform nearly every industrial category and field of study. As part of this paradigm shift, the Alteryx mission is to move academia beyond the traditional GIS tools and instill spatial intelligence into multiple disciplines, inspiring the technologists and business leaders of the future."
The University of Texas at Dallas, the University of Northern Texas, the University of Southern California, Penn State University and Ryerson University have already completed applications for the program, which was launched January 19th, and will eventually include 15 institutions. Each will receive free Alteryx software licenses, technical support, internships, scholarships and jobs programs to forward collaborative learning channels between departments, schools and industry partners. The total grant value for each of the 15 founding universities of the program is expected to exceed $150,000. Read More
