R in corporate enivroments (finance depts.)
A short presentation, on the potential and real life uses of R (and RStudio) in a typical business (ie Accounting) department in a large Austrian financial institution.
Common pitfalls (mostly linked to infrastructure problems eg firewalls, non-admin user-rights, AV software, etc) are discussed and a short overview of tactics for coping with these challenges is given (eg set up a local CRAN, package building so that R newbies can utilize it, enhanced .Rprofiles, etc).
