Invited Speech: Big Data Analytics - Moving the Analytics to the Data

Abstract

While historically, financial institutions and communication providers have been the forerunners in the areas of data management and analytics, the new entrants to this area are manufacturing organizations. While the concept of machine generated data has been around for a considerable period of time, the intersection of commodity storage and memory with innovations in analytical processing, there is a silent revolution taking place in the world of analytics. Bringing analytics to the forefront and embedding it at the point of data origination brings challenges of scale and the emergence of new analytical techniques to stream and process this massive amount of data. Manufacturing organizations are now looking at refactoring their data architectures to optimize on these analytical techniques and provide significant business value while providing a whole new look at product innovation. Leaders in analytics continue to provide analytical innovations to help organize manage and extract optimum value from these new streams of data.
