When it comes to big data, how does
your organization stack up? TDWI's new "Big Data Maturity Model" --
an online self-assessment tool organizations can use to gauge the
progress of their big data practices -- answers this question and
many more.

When is it more sensible to use a big
data platform -- and when is the traditional data warehouse a
superior option? Industry luminary Richard Winter says misusing
Hadoop for some types of decision support workloads could cost
nearly three times more than a data warehouse.

There's a reason Hadoop is talked about
as a platform for ETL: increasingly, that's where your data is. In
fact, Hadoop is itself a general-purpose parallel processing
platform makes it even more appealing -- in this case, as a low-cost
platform for high-performance, parallel ETL processing.

Education and critical analysis are the
best tools for keeping vendors honest -- and combating
hypermarketeering, say TDWI World Conference keynote speakers Marc
Demarest and Mark Madsen.

There is considerable buzz in the IT
industry about in-memory technologies. At the same time, there is
considerable confusion about the role and benefits of these
technologies in business intelligence processing and performance. A
major reason for this confusion is that in-memory computing means
different things to different people. |

Many end-user organizations are currently
commencing or expanding solutions for big data and big data
analytics. They want to understand how to approach big data and
where they stand relative to other companies, especially their
competitors. In October 2013, TDWI launched its Big Data Maturity
Model Assessment Tool, which can help to guide IT and business
professionals on their big data journey. The assessment looks at
companies across five dimensions that impact maturity, including
organization, infrastructure, data management, analytics, and
governance.
