A Business User’s Guide to Big Data on Hadoop - ERP Spain.com - España y América Latina

This webcast will give an overview of deploying Hadoop within the organization as a strategic initiative for business advantage. Rather than viewing distributed databases as an incremental solution to an IT problem, Ioana Hreninciuc look at the bigger picture: what can Hadoop do not for the database administrators but for the organization as a whole?

Business users have problems and budgets to fix them, but Hadoop is a technical product sold by technical people. The market for big data intake and analytics is growing but the people who could support this growth more than anyone are the business users, not IT managers. IT is shrinking or in some cases completely outsourced so it becomes very difficult to take bold steps in IT.
