Unlocking Big Data through Analytics and Search

The staggering growth of internal and external information resources that are relevant to organizational action is the genesis of the Big Data movement, while cloud computing is predicated on converting heterogeneous data processing solutions into agile, reconfigurable resources. The intersection of these technology plays is driven by solution needs that make Big Data usable in enterprise environments. In this talk, Founder and CTO of Kitenga, Inc., Mark Davis, argues that the solutions that are driving Big Data for the enterprise are search and analytics that span the unstructured and structured data universe. Merging search and analytics to handle Big Data enables information discovery and knowledge engineering that eclipses the database-centric methods of the past, promoting agile, predictive business insights.
