June 20, 2011
For readers of Beyond Search who have an interest in data fusion and analytics, the editor of Inteltrax.com, our Web log tracking this market, provided us with a run down of last week’s top stories.—Stephen E Arnold
Inteltrax, the data fusion and business intelligence information service, captured four key stories germane to search this week.
First, “Analytics for Cities” points out the many ways companies like IBM are strengthening search for city governments to run smoother using business intelligence and analytics.
Second, “Don’t Forget India When Pushing Analytic Chips Toward China” takes an in-depth look at the burgeoning Chinese analytic and search market. However, those betting heavily on China are doing a disservice overlooking India.
Third, “South Africa Ready to Join Analytics Boom” shows how some are declaring South Africa dead when it comes to using analytic search, however, a recent economic boom suggests otherwise.
Fourth, “The Rising Tide of Unstructured Data” http://inteltrax.com/2011/06/the-rising-tide-of-unstructured-data warns how unstructured data is a growing thread to the analytics and search communities alike.
Clearly, search professionals are being transformed by developments in predictive analytics, whether it is as far away as Africa or China, in their own city or even in their own business’ mounting pile of info. These are subjects that effect our global business world on almost every level and deserve our attention.
