Business transformation needs insight into customers, suppliers and industry trends and developments. Unlike in the past, most interactions get recoded through digital world and create some sort of data points. The data that is generated in this fashion is massive in volume, comes from multiple sources and in multiple formats such as videos, chats, text messages, picture files, system logs etc.
Current database systems are not designed to take this huge amount of data, of variety of formats and process it to show trends and establish correlations, efficiently.
New designs – broadly labeled as Big Data – have emerged to handle such demands and have been greatly responsible of many success stories at large organisations such as Google, Cisco, MetLife, Salesforce.com, Forbes, MTV Networks, Orange Digital etc.
We at Ashnik, would be brining you such technologies and solutions soon. Stay tuned for some exciting announcements in coming days.
In this month’s Newsletter, you would get to hear from our Marketing Head – Deepti – about the top 3 key trends that are shaping the computing and business world. While our DBA, Sameer Kumar traces the origin of database design and writes about the need for change.
