It's the Analysis, Stupid! Everything you ever wanted to know about Big Data
The MIT Sloan Club of Boston launches a presentation series on Big Data. Starting April 29, 2013 we will have industry and academic speakers regularly present the state of the art in Big Data. The April 29 presentation content is outlined here.
Description:
Big Data provides new opportunities for technologists,
engineers, business leaders, and many others with interests in these
areas. Because of the increasing capabilities to access and process huge
volumes of information and extract insights from it, we have the opportunity to
drive change within organizations, improve the way people make decisions, and
identify areas to advance existing research. This session will touch on
the following topics:
· Illustrative examples of ways Big Data is being used in several
industry verticals
· What is Big Data and why it is important now
· Key roles that are growing in demand as the big data wave continues
to evolve
· Evolution of emerging analytical tools and big data technologies

Technical Consultant in EMC’s Global Education Services
organization. His focus areas include Big Data Analytics and Data
Science. Recently he co-developed EMC’s first course in the new Data
Science curriculum, which is now sold on Amazon.
More on the series: The second presentation in the MIT Sloan Club of Boston's Big Data series (date to be

decision support. Send recommendations for the series to Jesse Jacobson ’84 at jesse3a
