Big Data
Forward-Thinking Data Strategies.
Social media, real-time web events, GPS data points, and IoT telemetry drive the complexity of today’s business data. Whether you’re dealing with semi-structured data (JSON files), unstructured data (images, video, audio files), or massive amounts of structured data (TBs of application data), big data is too diverse and high-volume to handle using conventional methods. As a result, storage and computing must be distributed across a network of machines.
Without a dig data strategy in place, your organization can’t leverage the tools and services available for analyzing this vast amount of new information.
2nd Watch’s consultants are trained in the latest concepts and technologies, spanning from Hadoop clusters to modern cloud-based data warehouses. We have the technical expertise to tackle the challenges posed by managing and integrating large datasets and the business acumen to help your stakeholders discover actionable insights.
Our consultants will work with business users to identify big data opportunities that align with your organizational priorities.
