NEW YORK, Sept. 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Strata Data Conference -- Zoomdata, developers of the world's fastest visual analytics platform for Big Data, today launched the industry’s first expert educational program -- Big Data Master Class Series -- to help enterprises find success implementing their big data platforms and business intelligence initiatives for high volume, streaming or high variety data sources. In addition to a massive amount of free online educational audio and document-based content, there is a video series, designed and delivered by leading industry experts and senior scientists and engineers, that offers more than 90 videos from noted speakers, with more to come.
"After four years in business helping customers get the most out of their big and streaming data initiatives, we've found that most organizations spend the majority of their time in new initiatives figuring out how to get data into their platform of choice,” said Ruhollah Farchtchi, CTO at Zoomdata. “They rarely think through the intricacies of extracting value from their data and enabling data access across their organizations.”
The line-up of speakers include some of the leading researchers from top BI and big data analyst firms. Hear directly from Tony Baer at Ovum, Howard Dresner at Dresner Advisory Services, Matt Aslett at 451 Research, Mark Madsen of Third Nature, Mike Lock at Aberdeen Group, Wayne Eckerson at Eckerson Group, and more.
“Ovum is pleased to participate in the new Zoomdata Master Class Video Series,” said Tony Baer, Principal Analyst, Ovum Group. “The classes are designed to help enterprises take advantage of the next phase of growth in big and fast data analytics. Companies will want to understand the state of the big data analytics market, how to embed analytics into other business applications and processes, architecture and deployment considerations, the best approaches for high data volume and high data variety analytics, use cases for streaming analytics, and the characteristics of modern data sources and modern BI platforms.”
“Zoomdata’s Master Class Video series includes research findings from our 8th annual Wisdom of Crowds Business Intelligence Market Study, which relies heavily on social media and crowd-sourcing techniques to gather opinions and deployment intentions from a research community of more than 4,500 organizations. Our research covers the state of big data adoption, data access techniques, use cases, infrastructure, and the most popular big data technologies,” said Howard Dresner, President and Chief Research Officer, Dresner Advisory Services.
“This series of videos will help people new to big data understand modern data architectures and data structures as well as the difference between BI and data science, clear-up popular misconceptions about streaming data, and, for technology veterans, help to explain how everything old is new again,” said Mark Madsen, President, Third Nature.
“This series of videos provides technology practitioners a solid grounding in big and streaming data analytics, covering fundamental topics such as the value of big data analytics, how to optimize scalability and performance, the evolution of data as a monetized product, and the value of streaming data analytics,” said Wayne Eckerson, Founder Eckerson Group.
“In these videos you’ll learn why economics play a major role in big data, the impact internet giants like Google have made to the development of modern data platforms, the importance of variety among modern data platforms, and how modern organizations are getting from data to insight by adopting data-driven applications with embedded analytics,” said Matt Aslett, Research Director, 451 Research.
“In the embedded analytics section of these Master Classes you’ll learn why the embedded analytics marketplace is experiencing explosive growth, how embedded analytics differs from traditional stand-alone analytics, what various stakeholders have to gain from embedding analytics, and the pros and cons of building versus buying your embedded analytics,” said Mike Lock, Vice President and Principal Analyst, Aberdeen Group.
The Zoomdata Big Data Master Class series is comprised of videos that run from three to five minutes in length, as well as supplemental written, video and audio content.
