A complete portfolio of unrivalled solutions

Big Data offers a new technology for gathering, managing and processing large quantities of data in different formats. Its various innovative features set it apart from traditional technologies, marking a major break with the past.

HANDLING UNSTRUCTURED DATA: Big Data does not require the in-depth data schema design needed for traditional databases: it uses NoSQL, a mechanism for working with structured and unstructured data together.

EFFICIENT DATA MANAGEMENT: Big-Data technology’s second feature is its ability to handle vast data volumes (in Petabytes), generally at a fraction of the TCO of traditional systems.

INTEGRATED TEAM WITH SPECIFIC PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE: Implementing a Big-Data model requires a team with new skills, including Data Scientists, data-analysis specialists with vertical competencies.

NEW WAYS TO RUN PROJECTS: The initial stages of a project no longer involve selecting information sources to base the design on (as in the traditional data-handling approach) – Big Data turns this concept on its head by leveraging statistical techniques.

Consumption-based Approach

The valuation of data as an asset

There is a case to argue that if companies managed their finances as badly as they manage their data, they would probably be out of business by now. Data used to be confined within firewalls and systems but in the digital age, it is ’happening’ everywhere.

In this world of ’Big Data’, having the right data available at the right time is crucial; and it is an imperative that has moved far beyond the remit of IT alone.
