As you drink your coffee, you receive an apology from the

Sound crazy? Are these things that can only happen in the
distant future? No. All of these scenarios are possible today Big
data. Advanced analytics. Big data analytics. It seems you can't
escape such terms today. Everywhere you turn people are discussing,
writing about, and promoting big data and advanced analytics. Well,
you can now add this book to the discussion.
What is real and what is hype? Such attention can lead one to
the suspicion that perhaps the analysis of big data is something
that is more hype than substance. While there has been a lot of
hype over the past few years, the reality is that we are in a
transformative era in terms of analytic capabilities and the
leveraging of massive amounts of data. If you take the time to cut
through the sometimes-over-zealous hype present in the media,
you'll find something very real and very powerful underneath it.
With big data, the hype is driven by genuine excitement and
anticipation of the business and consumer benefits that analyzing
it will yield over time.
Big data is the next wave of new data sources that will drive
the next wave of analytic innovation in business, government, and
academia. These innovations have the potential to radically change
how organizations view their business. The analysis that big data
enables will lead to decisions that are more informed and, in some
cases, different from what they are today. It will yield insights
that many can only dream about today. As you'll see, there are many
consistencies with the requirements to tame big data and what has
always been needed to tame new data sources. However, the
additional scale of big data necessitates utilizing the newest
tools, technologies, methods, and processes. The old way of
approaching analysis just won't work. It is time to evolve the
world of advanced analytics to the next level. That's what this
book is about.
"Taming the Big Data Tidal Wave" isn't just the title of this
book, but rather an activity that will determine which businesses
win and which lose in the next decade. By preparing and taking the
initiative, organizations can ride the big data tidal wave to
success rather than being pummeled underneath the crushing surf.
What do you need to know and how do you prepare in order to start
taming big data and generating exciting new analytics from it? Sit
back, get comfortable, and prepare to find out
