Priceline Challenge
Date: Friday, December 5, 2014Priceline.com partners with MSBAPM Program for Data Challenge
Priceline.com leverages data to solve today’s most complex eCommerce problems. On November 12, the online travel company partnered with UConn’s MSBAPM Program to kick off a data challenge. The challenge ran for two weeks during which 17 teams of students had the opportunity to analyze and build predictive models of a subset of hotel search and reservations data. Out of slightly over 50 students who participated in the challenge, 11 students (3 teams) were advanced to the final round. The finalists presented their findings to a panel of analysts, senior and executive management at priceline.com including Michael Diliberto, CIO and Bryan Lewis, CFO.
“Priceline.com is proud to partner with UConn’s School of Business Analytics & Project Management to offer its students the opportunity to perform research and build predictive models on customer search behaviors,” said Diliberto. “UConn students were able to discern some very key patterns in large quantities of disconnected messages and we look forward to continuing the data challenge we started.”
Presentations were held at priceline.com’s headquarters in Norwalk, CT on December 5, where the panel voted on the winning team based on both deliverable and presentation skills.
The winners of the challenge are as follows: Jennifer Eigo, Chandra Karri, Daniel Silvis and Dilip Sagar Manjunath. The winning team members received a $1200 priceline.com gift card to use online and all challenge participants received 15% off their next priceline.com purchase.
Hearty Congratulations to the winning team for their outstanding performance!
