Editor's Notes
- #5: Money Slide: Noise: We’ve helped best in class customers turn noise into transformational value Transformational Value: Yahoo (competitive advantage), Retail (customer delight), Retail (Discovery example: customer loyalty spend to product level combined with weather – what is the correlation? What is the question I’m not asking? How would I change my merchandising?) <Discovery: What are the questions you aren’t asking?>
- #11: Choose from comprehensive libraries of analytics for data science, stats, ad hoc, & BI Optimize and distribute everything for extreme performance, scale, and agility Orchestrate dataflows for entire ecosystems of analytics and business intelligence Share processing across relational and non-relational platforms Take transformational and analytical processing to where the data lives Extreme Performance Run high-performance preparation on Hadoop or analytic nodes Extreme Scale Scale for complete ecosystems Extreme Agility Choose from over 1000 operators and functions Run in the cloud, on-premise, or hybrid Deploy complete enterprise strength or simple-select modules Quickest time to value on all Hadoop and big data investments Lower cost of resources (less skilled, fewer required) Improved decision accuracy (more data) Rapid innovation cycles (analytic iteration speed)
