Thorogood consultants Ben Dunmire and Scott Stieritz discuss important considerations when formulating a strategic vision for a Hadoop initiative and explore how focusing on key business and technical factors, in addition to existing data assets, can lead to a strong return on a Hadoop investment.

During this 30-minute webcast, we share our thoughts on incorporating Hadoop and other big data tools into existing or new business intelligence and analytics systems. By understanding what is possible with Hadoop in combination with data processing and reporting tools, we will explore how a Hadoop solution can be implemented to service evolving business and technology needs as demands for data and analytics grow.

What to expect:

Drawing from our own client experiences, we demonstrate:

• How Hadoop can be leveraged to provide business value, particularly in managing data of high velocity, volume and variety.
• Common elements in a Hadoop architecture and how those elements can fit alongside other BI & analytic investments.
• How to identify opportunities to employ Hadoop and familiarize yourself with other big data tools that can enhance Hadoop’s usability and effectiveness.
