“Data mashing” seems like a poor description of a process. You are not bludgeoning the data. Instead, data mashing is more like using a kaleidoscope – mixing together different types of data and seeing what it looks like through a single lens. The difference is that,...
Citizen Data Scientists Are the Critical Staff You’ve Already Hired For the past two decades, web development has been a bottomless reservoir of employment for developers, especially those with skills like Javascript. But the next decade belongs to data science. Case...
The concept of a “single pane of glass” dashboard was a topic of a recent post by SQL Server Central blogger Steve Jones. This is originally a DevOps concept, the idea being that when you work using a continuous development/deployment model, you need one single source...
Organizations are legally required to ensure that their employees’ personal information remains confidential. Compliance can be as simple a process as shredding paper forms, but more likely it involves securing data held in computer systems; for example, payroll or...
Few events in history come close to matching the enormity of the Big Data explosion. According to industry research, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created every day. That's approximately 2.5 exabytes. For perspective, if every word ever spoken were quantified in...
The term Business Intelligence has been around since the 1920s, but gained prominence from the 1950s onwards. The advent of data processing mainframe systems and early DBMS allowed for data to be stored, processed and reported. Interest in BI revolutionized in the...
This post outlines the different types of features that are necessary to optimize real-time reporting with minimal performance degradation. If your business relies on ERP and Cloud applications for its day-to-day functions, you've probably encountered one, if not...
Raw data sets that are aggregated from corporate repositories, social media channels, company website metrics and other sources all have the potential to be of great value to an organization, but they don't actually convey meaning at a glance. This is where data...
The average business worker uses multiple applications throughout the day for productivity purposes. In fact, by mid-2014, modern enterprises used about 508 applications in their business operations. Today, that number has most likely increased due to the...
NASA started using computers to calculate orbital paths in 1962. However, John Glenn, a respected pilot from World War II, wasn’t quite sure that he trusted the computer’s numbers. After all, he was trying to become the first American to orbit the Earth. Glenn refused...
Researchers estimate that approximately 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are generated on a daily basis. At this point in time, there is exponentially more data available to us than there are stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. Just as humankind stares into the vacuum of...
This article will discuss those benefits in detail and provide some of the main reasons why organizations are moving towards a cloud-based BI solution. Many business decision-makers have been won over by the cloud's promises of scalability, low overhead and strong...
