Last meetup for 2012 (a big year for Big Data). This month Microsoft have kindly offered to sponsor the event providing pizza and beer. We will be back to our old haunt "The City Hotel".
Big Data & Traditional BI solutions working together to enhance insights
Big Data approaches allow us to solve some traditionally difficult problems – but traditional BI has been solving some business problems pretty well for the last decade. So how can the two technologies work together?
Using a big data case study from a telecommunications company, James and Shashank will illustrate how they addressed a business problem by combining the best of both approaches. This was done using cloud hosted instances of Microsoft’s traditional BI and new Hadoop platforms. The session will delve into the business scenario, the solving of the problem, the architectural components used and also show that Big Data doesn’t necessarily have to be all that big to be useful.
Shashank Pawar, a Data Platform Technology Specialist based out of Sydney, Australia. I have a passion for databases & analytics on the Microsoft platform (SQL Server, SharePoint, Office. I have over 12 years of experience in delivering Enterprise data platform solutions

The meet up was okay, it seemed to feel more like a sales pitch from Microsoft rather than how Big Data and BI work together. Having said this, it was my first meeting and I am looking forward to the next one; but I am hoping to learn more.

Presentation was informative, possibly a little light on some of the detail, but it was a POC after all, so not unexpected.

wish I could make this, really do. It'd be perfect for my continued learnings around all things big data. However, have dinner with colleagues on Wednesday night but look forward to attending in the future and if being recorded I'd like to get hold of it soon after, if possible.

Hi Shashank, any chance of providing a little more detail on the content to be presented for those who may have to travel to attend?

Hi Michael. We will be looking at how we used a mix of structured and unstructured data to drive a view - and forecast - of Customer Service experience for a client. This mixed together traditional Microsoft BI tools (SQL Server DB, Analytics & Reporting) with support from Hadoop to provide unstructured data analysis. HTH, James.

Unfortunately this conflicts with ScalaSyd, which has historically had more/better pizza and beer. But it's a shame I'm going to miss this, as I'm really interested in levering Microsoft Windows Products for big-data analytics (mainly Microsoft Office and Access for the real heavy-lifting). Let me know it goes, and please post the slides!
