Datameer Helps App Developers Build and Get Paid
March 23, 2013
A recent article from Datameer shared an interesting idea with developers: build an app and actually get paid for it. The article, “Strata 2013: Get Paid For Building Big Data Apps!,” discusses the concept behind Datameer Analytics App Market, the first real marketplace to buy and sell pre-built big data analytic applications.
The app market allows developers to get paid for apps they have built, while providing the tools needed to build and sell the apps. The article shares the capabilities:
“*Get any data in yourself (really, we have 50+ built-in connections to Twitter, Salesforce, Oracle, DB2, Google… etc.)
*Build your analysis with simple point-and-clicks (we’ve included more than 240 pre-built analytic functions, and you see the results instantly in our spreadsheet UI before running it against your full dataset)
*Create custom data visualizations (no more box-after-box dashboards, our Business Infographic designer lets you drag-and-drop different charts and graphs onto a blank canvas, so you can annotate and design as you see fit)
*Package your final product into an analytic app with a single click. It’s just a right-click ‘save as’.”
We think this is an interesting angle for recruiting and marketing. Giving business users the tools and the market they need to thrive is sure to breed some great insights and developments.
