The Morning Briefing: Big Data analytics

By | June 13, 2012, 2:01 AM PDT

“The Morning Briefing” is SmartPlanet’s daily roundup of must-reads from the web. This morning we’re reading about Big Data analytics.

1.) With Hadoop, Big Data analytics challenges old-school business intelligence. Datameer and Karmasphere say their Hadoop-based platforms are what’s needed for the next era of data analysis. Are you buying it?

2.) Governance: The Big Data elephant in the room. To realize business value from big data companies need to have strong information governance and few people seem to be talking about this.

3.) Big Data and health care get engaged. How can we work smarter? How can we improve our processes? What are we leaving on the table?

4.) Teradata software provides direct ‘big data’ access. Teradata, a Miami Twp.-based data analytics company, on Tuesday announced that its Aster SQL-H software is the first to offer business analysts direct, self-service access to “big data” sets stored in Apache Hadoop.

5.) Big Data delivers results, but enterprises struggle with skills. Big Data is slowly moving into the enterprise, and where it has been used, has resulted in impressive performance improvement according to a report published Tuesday.
