PolySpot Delivers Information While Other Big Data Vendors Vie For Attention
November 5, 2012
We have heard it before and we are hearing about it again: it will be a challenge to stock companies with a pool of data scientists able to analyze big data. The article, “Big Data, Big Talent Challenge,” published on Boston focuses on the potential impact Boston, Massachusetts can have in meeting this nationwide struggle.
This iconic New England city feels like they do not get enough credit for technological advances their region has pioneered. However, as the article suggests, their lack of notoriety has little to do with what has technological developments and innovations have happened and more to do with how well they’ve been positioned in relation to big data.
The author advises companies looking for attention to follow talent:
Kendall Square and Boston’s Innovation District — including the revitalized Seaport –have emerged as two of the region’s technology hotbeds, yet many major employers are situated well outside these environs, and are losing Big Data talent to startups with “cool” locations. Several companies, such as Staples, Amazon, and Google have elected to build innovation/R&D organizations in Cambridge or Boston to leverage access to talent and provide a stimulating, enjoyable work environment.
Across the Atlantic a company called PolySpot has caught our eyes. They allow for information delivery through an agile enterprise infrastructure. Now, that is what companies should be focused on: delivering insights and information throughout their organization.
