Platfora - An Analytics Sandbox In A World Of Big Data

Details

As Big Data becomes the norm (think Volume, Variety and Velocity), it's getting harder for the Data Analyst to understand and work with data sets. This is where Platfora comes in, a Hadoop-backed data analysis framework which nicely complements traditional data warehousing and BI solutions.

We'll show you how to work with Platfora. Our data will be in the context of peer-to-peer lending, showing how insights into loan applicants and borrower risk profiles can be quickly revealed without ETL development or demanding data transformations.

You'll learn:

• How to build data sets and visualizations with the Platfora graphical interface

• The benefits of Platfora for various types of data and organizations
