Organizations are expanding their sources of data analyzed to include unstructured data sets, exploring ways to get faster reporting and analysis than the static reports of the past, and developing new ways to embed analytical insights into day-to-day decision-making. What this means for enterprises at the strategic level is a significant rethink in enabling this business transformation, resulting in investments in a select sub-set of the new generation of big data and analytics technologies that are available and growing today Client organizations face a challenge here in selecting the right mix of tools and technologies from third-party and open source technologies.
