Updating processes and policies to capture, analyze and display data drawn from emerging platforms and content channels.
Technology is all about change: New tools emerge, existing methodologies evolve, and familiar platforms become obsolete. Business Analytics is no exception—in fact, given the endless stream of data from different channels and platforms, the adoption of new technologies requires extra caution balanced with speed. Capitalizing on these changes without descending into chaos requires a high level of monitoring and evaluation.
In the current environment, BI executives need to take into account in-memory analytics, large data, unstructured data, Mobile BI, Software-as-a-Service (SAAS), BI in Cloud and BI Appliances, among many others. These need to be measured against specific organizational needs, skill requirements, total cost of ownership, user adoption and, most of all, business impact.
Saama has long earned a reputation for mastering the nuances involved in deploying cutting-edge technologies. For example, Saama has implemented multiple BI Appliances from (among others) Exadata, Teradata, Greenplum, Netezza and Vertica, in the process clearly delineating between comparative advantages, cost and business impact. Saama also built up extensive experience in implementing multiple in-memory technologies and other emerging alternatives.
The goal with every Emerging Technology Evaluation engagement is fundamentally the same: To take a 360-degree view of the organization and then identify not just the newest but also the most appropriate technologies available.
