Big data and analytics

Abstract

Business Analytics is maturing and moving towards mass adoption. The emergence of big data increases the need for innovative tools and methodologies. Of particular interest is the established Business Intelligence market segment, built on structured data and reporting. How does big data affect methodologies like ETL, modeling and report authoring? Business Intelligence is at a crossroads between less formal data analysis at scale and business imperatives like regulatory reporting that runs an enterprise. This paper highlights new technologies and services that move the methodologies of old into the data-centric world of high volume and velocity that defines the modern information landscape.
