                                     Businesses have larger volumes of
                                     data about their operations,
                                     customers, prospects, influencers,
                                     and competitors than ever before-
                                     and this data is exploding at
                                     exponential rates. The most
                                     successful companies are able to
                                     leverage both traditional and new,
                                     multi-structured data types from
                                     both inside and outside of the
                                     organization.

                                     Designed for both the business and
                                     technical person, the 2012

                                     provide expert advice on how to
                                     leverage the data using big
                                     analytics. The speakers will offer
                                     descriptions of available
                                     technologies and when to use each
                                     one. They will discuss real-world
                                     use cases, debate the impact of
                                     data science, and share peer-to-
                                     peer advice on lessons learned.
                                     Participants will gain the
                                     practical knowledge and tools to
                                     develop a big analytics roadmap
                                     for their organization in order to
                                     transform the decision-making
                                     process and better compete and win

                                     Understanding how MapReduce works
                                     and how it can be used to a
                                     support a company's business
                                     intelligence needs may at first
                                     seem like a daunting task.
                                     However, the speakers will clarify
                                     the issues and answer the
    Abstract:                        following questions:

                                     1.  What is MapReduce and how does
                                     it work with structured query
                                     language (SQL) user defined
                                     functions (UDF), and other
                                     analytic techniques
                                     2.  If SQL developers and business
                                     analysts become "data scientists,"
                                     what is the value to the
                                     organization?
                                     3.  How can MapReduce fit into the
                                     existing business intelligence
                                     environment?
                                     4.  What is the best way to develop
                                     a roadmap?
                                     5.  Do companies need specialized
                                     data scientists to attack the big
                                     data challenge?
