What stage has your organization reached on its data maturity journey?
At FedEx we’ve always understood the importance of data, and historically we’ve been very good at data analytics. Today, we’re focused on using data as an engine for rapid value creation and problem solving. Over the past few years, we’ve built a central enterprise data platform that is intended to serve as the digital twin of our physical network. The platform, coupled with our data science practice, is supporting new use cases every day – both for our own business and for our customers.
