Case Study: Autodesk accelerates data science upskilling and hiring with DataCamp

Autodesk - Customer Case Study

Autodesk, a Fortune 1000 global software company with over 11,500 employees, faced the challenge of rapidly upskilling its growing data science and product teams as the business shifted from a perpetual to a subscription model. Damian O’Farrill, Director of Data Science and Revenue Analytics, selected DataCamp’s enterprise offering, DataCamp for Business, to provide bite-sized, up-to-date learning that could keep the team current with evolving data science techniques.

DataCamp delivered self‑paced courses and pre-made skill tracks—covering topics like joining data in SQL, supervised learning with scikit-learn, and geospatial analysis in Python—that teams could immediately apply to Autodesk’s business problems (for example, reusing market basket analysis to address a sales issue). As a result, DataCamp became the gold standard for training at Autodesk, accelerated team upskilling during the transition, and even became a key qualification used to identify and hire top data talent.
