“Through the collaboration with AWS, we will be able to analyze global data faster, giving companies an integrated view into the global economy and sectors, and provide the next generation of innovative, customer-focused solutions,” said Yaacov Mutnikas, chief technology officer and chief data scientist of IHS Markit.
