Informatica Day 2015: Be #Data Ready! | Capgemini Italia. Informatica Day 2015: Be #Data Ready! | Capgemini Italia. Informatica becomes part of Capgemini and Pivotal’s Business Data Lake Ecosystem. Customers worldwide will now be able to leverage Informatica’s data integration software in addition to Pivotal’s advanced big data, analytics and application software, and Capgemini’s industry and implementation expertise. Informatica will deliver certified technologies for Data Integration, Data Quality and Master Data Management (MDM) to help enterprises distill raw data into actionable insights. Steve Jones, Global VP of Big Data at Capgemini, said: “The Business Data Lake is disrupting the market and redefining the way the enterprise approaches its business information.

With Informatica’s certification of its technology on the Pivotal Big Data Suite, this enables Pivotal, Informatica and Capgemini to answer some of the biggest questions about information today: how can companies take advantage of the information explosion and still remain in control? How can you deliver next generation analytics but have the assurance that the information being used is proven? Twitter. Big Data Alchemy – How Banks Can Turn Big Data Into Customer Gold. The banking industry is clear that there are big gains to be made from Big Data. For example, 90% of financial institutions in North America think that successful Big Data initiatives will define the winners in the future[i].

However, there’s a flipside to this bullish stance. Did you know that less than half of banks analyze customers’ external data, such as social media activities and online behavior[ii]? And that only 37% of banks have hands-on experience with live Big Data implementations? Given the banks’ pro Big Data stance, why are we not seeing greater progress? The explanation could lie in the significant barriers that lie in the path of Big Data success: organizational silos; a dearth of analytics talent; a lack of strategic focus, with Big Data viewed as just another ‘IT project’; and the looming issue of privacy concerns. Take the first point. Growing privacy concerns around Big Data also represent a significant issue.

This is certainly not an insignificant task. Informatica Innovation Forum: Van data complexity naar data simplicity. De 'data-centric enterprise' biedt kansen voor iedereen: het sturen op basis van realtime strategische informative, het realiseren van een integraal klantbeeld en het efficiënt inrichten van supply chains. Maar hoe realiseren organisaties een 'data-centric' wereld voor zichzelf? Door de enorme datavolumes en -verscheidenheid komen daar veel vragen bij kijken. De stap van 'data complexity' naar 'data simplicity' is daardoor misschien wel de grootste uitdaging waar organisaties voor staan. Toch is de stap naar 'data simplicity' snel en flexibel te zetten. 'Next Generation Data Integratie' maakt het centraal stellen van data mogelijk met innovaties en nieuwe technologieën op het gebied van: Big Data Data Kwaliteit Master Data Management Data Privacy OnDemand informatievoorziening en Cloud Data Integratie Jorgen Heizenberg, CTO BIM Capgemini Nederland, zal op het event spreken over 'Data (warehouse) rationalisatie: kosteneffectieve toegang tot Big Data': Agenda.

Infomous. NoSQL. "Structured storage" redirects here. For the Microsoft technology also known as structured storage, see COM Structured Storage. A NoSQL (often interpreted as Not Only SQL[1][2]) database provides a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data that is modeled in means other than the tabular relations used in relational databases. Motivations for this approach include simplicity of design, horizontal scaling and finer control over availability. The data structure (e.g. key-value, graph, or document) differs from the RDBMS, and therefore some operations are faster in NoSQL and some in RDBMS.

There are differences though, and the particular suitability of a given NoSQL DB depends on the problem it must solve (e.g. does the solution use graph algorithms?). History[edit] There have been various approaches to classify NoSQL databases, each with different categories and subcategories. A more detailed classification is the following, by Stephen Yen:[9] Performance[edit] Examples[edit] Graph[edit]

The end of SQL and relational databases? (part 1 of 3) The road to SQL started with Dr. E.F. Codd's paper, "A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks", published in Communications of the ACM in June 1970. His colleagues at IBM, Donald Chamberlin and Raymond Boyce were working on a query language (originally named SQUARE, Specifying Queries As Relational Expressions) that culminated in the 1974 paper, "SEQUEL: A Structured English Query Language". Since that time, SQL has become the dominant language for relational database systems.

In recent years, frameworks and architectures have arrived on the programming scene that attempt to hide (or completely remove) the use of SQL and relational databases allowing developers to focus even more on user interfaces, business logic and platform support in our application development. The "NoSQL movement" and Cloud based data stores are striving to completely remove developers from a reliance on the SQL language and relational databases.
