Excellent points Tim and I share your concern. We need to enable the big data pathways or we run the risk of this new opportunity failing before it gets started.

Mark, as you point out, lack of expertise in the Big Data field is a common issue. On the other hand, designed by data scientists, HPCC Systems is a data intensive supercomputing platform to process and solve Big Data analytical problems. It is a mature platform and provides for a data delivery engine together with a data transformation and linking system. The main advantages over other alternatives are the real-time delivery of data queries and the extremely powerful ECL language programming model. More info at hpccsystems.com

I like where this article is going. We tried these activities with Teradata, Data Warehousing and even with SAP BW – just to mention a few. Now we need to address these items quickly to fend off Big Data ending up being just another ship passing in the night.
As a small, medium or large company, can you imagine being able to summarize tons of data into targeted campaigns without waiting week? With the right industry focus, this can be achievable. Big Data and be just that avenue.
