Big Data Infrastructure and Apps Work Together to Enable Real Time Information Access
January 16, 2013
Venture Beat published an important piece on the realm of big data technologies recently. In “The Future of ‘Big Data’ is Apps Not Infrastructure,” the author points to the land of opportunity for vendors and businesses – and venture capitalists.
This article calls for big data applications that integrate insights and deliver them to the widest group of users that are a part of the particular business process targeted. Emphasis is placed on the need for applications to enable the greatest number of employees to access and analyze information presented.
More context around the current state of big data in the media and beyond is offered:
It’s not just the media that has been focused on Big Data infrastructure, much of the recent venture and growth equity investment activity has gravitated towards the tools and platforms needed to manage Big Data and deliver analytic insights. However the largest wave of Big Data value creation is still to come and it will focus on exploiting the infrastructure to create new applications that analytically optimize business processes.
Software vendors that can deliver infrastructure and applications will be set in the current market. We have our eyes on PolySpot since they specialize in both and have been helping organizations in delivering information near real-time since 2001.
