David Dasher, CPL Online, & Bob Foreman, LexisNexis, present at the 2016 HPCC Systems Engineering Summit Community Day. Established in 2010, CPL Online is a software firm that specialises in developing bespoke digital services and products for the hospitality sector in the United Kingdom. Initially formed as an e-Learning provider, CPL Online has experienced rapid growth since its inception and now provides a large range of products and services, which include: e-Learning, learning management systems, intranet services, career pathways, big data analytics, website development and design and mobile app development. In this presentation, David Dasher, Managing Director of CPL Online, will discuss how the big data platform (powered by HPCC Systems® from LexisNexis® Risk Solutions) has enabled CPL Online to progress several developments over the past year. The UK-based company has written a series of sophisticated algorithms, which has allowed their clients to access unique data insights previously unavailable. After being inspired by the HPCC Systems® visualisation framework, introduced in the 6.0.0 release, CPL Online made the decision to develop a set of tools with the goal of improving the ‘speed of understanding’. The new tools, which include the CPL visualisation dashboard and CPL visualisation tool, allow pre-set statistical information to be instantaneously visualised into various graphical representations. Bespoke data visualisations can also be created, tested and extracted with ease. With CPL Online continuing to flourish with HPCC Systems®, David will discuss how the new series of algorithms and tools have not only allowed CPL to create new commercial opportunities, but to also be at the forefront of data insight within the hospitality industry within the UK. Bob Foreman will close with how HPCC Systems has leveraged the tools provided by CPL Online to enhance our online set of courses.
