Forest Grove Data Talk Session

We are excited to have two of our Forest Grove team members hosting a session at this Data Talk. Lexi Harrison and Oli de Bie will be demonstrating an innovative KNIME use case that integrates KNIME with Microsoft Power Apps and Flow. 

 

Each year, the Melbourne Cup proves itself to be one of the biggest events in Australia and on this day in almost every office, a sweepstake is organised to make the race that little more exciting. Traditionally a team member manually kept track of tickets, colleagues drew horses out of a hat and allowed a first-come-first-serve approach to the unallocated horses. This year we were determined to improve this outdated manual method by creating our version of a bidding app, seeing how we could combine KNIME with Microsoft Flow and PowerApps.
