That could doom the big data strategy to failure. Bill Franks, author, thought leader, and chief analytics officer for Teradata, has noticed a key flaw in the big data approaches for too many organizations. He says that one of the most common mistakes organizations make as they try to incorporate big data into their analytics processes, is that they consider big data as having a completely separate and distinct set of capabilities. Franks has seen companies set up internal processes and organizational features to focus specifically -- and only -- on big data, this approach, unfortunately, is a recipe for trouble and can ultimately have a negative impact on an organization’s bottom line.  Franks joins All Analytics Radio on Friday, Dec. 11, at 1:30 pm EST to discuss how organizations can best structure their big data operations. Be sure to listen as Franks looks at some of the mistakes that organizations need to avoid in 2016, and he shares best practices for integrating big data analytics with the overall analytics structure. 00:34:00UBM Technobig data,analytics,bill franks,teradata,2016Organizations need to integrate their big data efforts with existing analytics and business processes, not isolate big data.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/ubmtech/2015/11/23/understand-the-difference-between-data-science-and-analyticsTechnologyhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ubmtech/2015/11/23/understand-the-difference-between-data-science-and-analytics/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ubmtech/2015/11/23/understand-the-difference-between-data-science-and-analyticsMon, 23 Nov 2015 19:00:00 GMTUnderstand the Difference Between Data Science and AnalyticsIt's becoming more common to see the terms analytics and data science used interchangeably. However, there is a difference that organizations have to understand, not only when hiring for their data science teams but in shaping their data initiatives. One way to set data science apart is to consider the use of data that reflects the "Three V's" of Big Data, volume, velocity, and variety. Adam McElhinney, director of data science at predictive analytics company Uptake, joins All Analytics Radio to discuss how those Three V's set apart a data science project. McElhinney, formerly head of business analytics and marketing analytics for Enova Financial, has deep experience in business analytics, credit modeling and credit scoring, consumer finance, business development, performance optimization, strategic planning, and statistical analysis. Tune into All Analytics Radio at 2 pm (EST) on Monday, November 23, to learn how you can take your analytics initiative to the next level by utililizing those key elements of Big Data: volume, velocity, and variety.     00:31:00UBM Technoanalytics,data,data science,data scientist,predictive analyticsThe "Three V's of Volume, Velocity, and Variety are what elevate standard analytics to the level of data science.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/ubmtech/2015/11/19/all-analytics-academy-leadership-motivation-and-rewards-for-the-analytics-teamTechnologyhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ubmtech/2015/11/19/all-analytics-academy-leadership-motivation-and-rewards-for-the-analytics-team/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ubmtech/2015/11/19/all-analytics-academy-leadership-motivation-and-rewards-for-the-analytics-teamThu, 19 Nov 2015 19:00:00 GMTAll Analytics Academy: Leadership, Motivation and Rewards for the Analytics TeamThe real work in building and managing a great analytics team starts once the people are hired, and continues for years moving forward.

While many institutions implemented graduate and undergraduate programs to help replenish the talent pool a few years down the road, other schools focused on helping experienced business and technology professionals make the transition into data science roles with mid-career education programs. In reality, the talent pool requires both types of workers; those who bring talent to the table immediately, and those who will require nurturing at entry level positions. Some forward-thinking organizations are establishing close relationships with higher education, offering financial aid to students, endowing chairs, hiring interns, and helping to shape the curriculums for analytics programs. Sue Talley, dean of technology for Capella University's School of Business and Technology, discusses best practices in establishing mutually beneficial partnerships between college analytics programs and the business world. In this session you will learn: *How colleges and universities are ramping up their efforts to prepare students -- young and not so young, for careers in analytics How organizations are partnering with colleges to ensure that the enterprises and the businesses down the street have a data science talent pool to draw uponWhat goes into a data science curriculum in terms of technical training and business-skill developmentWhat your organization can do to work with local educational institutions to develop a workforce rich in analytics skills and STEM talents The All Analytics Academy program Build a Successful Analytics Team is presenting educational sessions throughout November. 00:44:00UBM Technoanalytics,big data,data science,data scientist,collegeColleges and corporations are partnering in efforts to prepare a workforce of data scientists to address the analytics skills gap today and in the long term.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/ubmtech/2015/11/12/all-analytics-academy-data-science-recruiting-strategiesTechnologyhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ubmtech/2015/11/12/all-analytics-academy-data-science-recruiting-strategies/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ubmtech/2015/11/12/all-analytics-academy-data-science-recruiting-strategiesThu, 12 Nov 2015 19:00:00 GMTAll Analytics Academy: Data Science Recruiting StrategiesYou might be tired of hearing that data scientist is the world's sexiest job, but you can't question the fact that data scientists and other analytics professionals are in demand. That means that you probably won’t find qualified candidates lined up at your door when you post job openings for your analytics team. Organizations need to know how and where to recruit analytics professionals, whether the search is for highly experienced data scientists or young team members fresh from college. Research has shown that simply tossing money at candidates isn't a long-term solution. Those candidates will look at your company's growth opportunities, work environment, management talent, range of benefits, and quality and personalities of their potential coworkers. Of course, the paycheck does count too. Linda Burtch, founder of Burch Works Executive Recruiting, specializes in matching data scientists with new employers, and shares her advice for managers building analytics teams and those who may be testing the job market.

A growing number of companies look for a combination of those diverse skills not in a single team member but in two or more candidates. The experienced business person may serve as the client-facing presence for the team, while sharing their knowledge and helping to shape the technologist's portfolio of business skills. However, that business leader also has to acquire a working knowledge of analytics technology if they are to be a valuable team member. Booz Allen Hamilton's Steven Mills and Ezmeralda Khalil present their second session in the All Analytics Academy: Build a Successful Analytics Team program, as they look at how experienced business professionals can round out the analytics team's skillset. .

Businesses around the world will be looking to hire young analytics professionals to support their big data initiatives. Those businesses will need analytics/data science professionals who are strong in data management, modeling, visualization, and other technical skills, but they also require business experience. Yes, the two worlds of technology and business can meet. Dr. Goutam Chakraborty, a professor of marketing at Oklahoma State University, is heading up a new masters in analytics program, based on what he has learned leading the school's previous certificate program. The new program will expose students to statistics, of course, but will also draw on staff expertise in information science, industrial engineering, and marketing. In this All Analytics Radio program, Dr. Chakraborty will share his experience and his advice on crafting an analytics program for the future, one that will prepare young data scientists to step into the business world ready to contribute to an analytics initiative, and he will help employers understand what they can expect from the classes of 2018 and beyond.

Call it the human factor or the consumption of analytics. Long before an algorithm starts churning out results, the organization has to understand the business problem that is being addressed, the backgrounds of the people who will use the data on the line, how it will change their jobs, what benefits those users will realize, and what changes must be made to existing business processes. Chris Mazzei, global chief analytics officer at Ernst & Young joins All Analytics Radio to discuss this human element of analytics. He is an advocate for understanding not just what data you have and what the data says but how your business can use it.

However, the greatest value lies in prescriptive analytics, where data shows us likely options for how we can respond to the upcoming changes and trends highlighted at the predictive stage. Afterall, knowing something is happening doesn't help if we don't know what to do about it. Prescriptive analytics can guide us to suitable solutions. Hyoun Park, Chief Research Officer of Blue Hill Research, joins All Analytics Radio to discuss how enterprises can move from the predictive analytics stage to prescriptive analytics where they can put data into action. Blue Hill has developed a framework for that thought process and the steps to get to prescriptive analytics and meaningful insights. In this show you will learn: About some of the best practices in developing predictive analytics, setting the stage for an eventual move to prescriptive analyticsWhat types of applications lend themselves to use of prescriptive analyticsHow to blend the suggestions for action raised by prescriptive analytics apps with a decision maker's experience and "gut" feelingsHow prescriptive analytics are being used in the real world today   00:33:00UBM Technoanalytics,predictive analytics,prescriptive analytics,data-driven decision making,descriptive analyticsEnterprise analytics initiatives are advancing along a natural progression, starting with descriptive analytics that tell us what our organizations and our custhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ubmtech/2015/06/23/iot-joins-the-enterprise-the-internet-of-things-as-your-link-to-customersTechnologyhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ubmtech/2015/06/23/iot-joins-the-enterprise-the-internet-of-things-as-your-link-to-customers/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ubmtech/2015/06/23/iot-joins-the-enterprise-the-internet-of-things-as-your-link-to-customersTue, 23 Jun 2015 18:00:00 GMTIoT Joins the Enterprise: The Internet of Things as Your Link to CustomersConsider the ways you can support the new customer experience, such as the ability to relate a consumer's activity on your website with their later appearance on in-store proximity beacons. How can you enhance that shopper's experience? Think about ability for a company like GE to optimize the performance and lifespan of a multi-million-dollar piece of heavy equipment at a customer site, improving customer production by 10% or more. How does that translate into customer satisfaction? Then there is the relationship with your own suppliers and trusted business partners.

Today, numbers -- data -- determine which plays will be called and which players will make their millions. As fans, we love those numbers, from batting averages to vertical leaps. Yet, sports are big business, and numbers -- data analytics -- translate into bottom line performance for franchises. Analytics help to put fans in seats and keep salary caps at a safe distance. Sport also is a proving ground for data analytics that can be applied to other businesses, from government to manufacturing, from retail to travel. Lessons learned in evaluating players can be applied to hiring. Revenue optimization techniques can spell success in baseball or just about any other business. All Analytics Radio will look at how data is making a difference in sports, whether on the field or in the front office. Which sports analytics concepts can be extended to other business environments? Our guest, Ray Hensberger of Booz Allen Hamilton’s NextGen Analytics team, has plenty of ideas on the use of sports analytics. That team is building big data applications for the sports sector, while keeping an eye on how the same techniques can be used by their enterprise clients.

The point of all this data is to make better, faster decisions. Not all managers are used to working with data, and there is resistance from managers who go by “gut.” And even the best managers will sometimes look at data to see the story they want to see rather than the story the data is telling them. Getting to the real truth of the data is the hardest part, but without it, the rest doesn’t matter.

Running an enterprise means constantly making thousands of decisions. Depending on their complexity and the maturity of your data projects, some of those decisions are even being driven by data. But are you ready to make the really big, complex decisions using data? Are you ready to make billion dollar decisions? Can you map your future and feel confident that the decisions you are making come not simply from management intuition but sound data and analytics? PwC’s new report, Guts & Gigabytes: Capitalizing on the Art and Science in Decision Making, shows that many companies are using data to make the day-to-day decisions of running the business, but few are using it to inform their strategic decisions. During this episode, Dan DiFilippo, PwC’s Global & US Data and Analytics Leader, will share the lessons from this report on how enterprises can make better use of data projects to bring data and analytics to intuition and experience.

Whether those security concerns should be greater or less than those for on-premises IT and datacenters, IT's role in a cloud initiative certainly is different from that of traditional, internal IT. Yet, the key question remains constant: How can we best protect our company data and systems? IT security consultant and author Ira Winkler joins The Enterprise Cloud Site Radio Show on Thursday, June 26, at 2:00 p.m. EDT to discuss what IT executives can do to best protect a company's information resources during a move to a cloud-based infrastructure. Winkler is president of the Internet Security Advisors Group and is considered one of the world's most influential security professionals. He has been named a "Modern Day James Bond" by the media. He is the author of the books Spies Among Us and Zen and the Art of Information Security and has recently been elected Vice President of the Information Systems Security Association. Winkler began his career at the National Security Agency, and went on to serve as President of the Internet Security Advisors Group, Chief Security Strategist, at HP Consulting, and Director of Technology of the National Computer Security Association.

Pressure to move to fast, inexpensive COTS gear, the cloud -- private and public -- much denser technologies, flash memory, and super-fast networks all are having impacts. What we are seeing is a migration toward smaller in-house setups, the transition of legacy architectures to private clouds, and the growth of mega-datacenters for cloud providers. Infrastructure expert and blogger Jim O'Reilly joins The Enterprise Cloud Site community and editor James Connolly for a discussion about the ongoing changes in datacenter technology and concepts, and about how those developments have an impact on private and hybrid cloud initiatives. Whatever your approach to business, the underlying infrastructure may be changing, and Jim O'Reilly has the expertise to look at what those changes mean. Here are some of the questions we will address: How much of the datacenter will be outsourced to the cloud?Will technology shrink equipment faster than installation growth?Where do containerized datacenters fit in?Will green power be important for in-house datacenters?

Packet optical technologies enabling these high-capacity solutions combine advanced traffic management and WDM capabilities.  As SDN technology works its way into the backhaul, the platforms of today need to be SDN ready. Fiber optics, though the preferred transport, are not always available or cost effective in these applications. Microwave is an alternative solution while waiting for fiber to be trenched or as a low-cost transport method.  Small cell architecture using C-RAN and WDM transport technology will reduce the power, footprint, and complexity of the small cell.  The C-RAN architecture centralizes the base band unit (BBU) at the macro site or CO using Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI™) over fiber optic or microwave transport to the remote radio head (RRH) deployed at the small cell site.  This combination of transport technology, whether full SDN-capable or SDN-ready, enables the highest optimization over the BH, offering: Load balancing via prioritized dynamic bandwidth allocationSelf-healing fault recoverySmooth scaling for future demands00:38:00UBM TechnoprivateSmartphone use is the most significant driver of traffic growth in mobile backhaul technology as these devices become more integrated into our business and pershttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ubmtech/2014/04/29/software-defined-storage-your-bridge-to-the-cloud-1Technologyhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ubmtech/2014/04/29/software-defined-storage-your-bridge-to-the-cloud-1/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ubmtech/2014/04/29/software-defined-storage-your-bridge-to-the-cloud-1Tue, 29 Apr 2014 15:00:00 GMTSoftware-Defined Storage: Your Bridge to the CloudCloud storage is a natural first step in moving your information technology infrastructue to the cloud, enabling anytime/anywhere access to enterprise data and applications for employees and business partners.
