PredicLve  AnalyLcs  =  Big  Data  Business  Intelligence  ≠  Big  Data  

THREE  IDEAS    

CHEAP,  ACTIONABLE  INFORMATION  One  

AS  “BIG  DATA”  à  MAINSTREAM  BUSINESS  INTELLIGENCE  =  BIG  DATA  

Two  

GARBAGE  IN,  GARBAGE  OUT  (“IT’S  NOT  INFORMATION  OVERLOAD;  IT’S  FILTER  FAILURE.”)

$3B+  of  revenue  in  2013  can’t  be  wrong  

Big  Data  <3’s  Cloud  

 Large  Workloads  +  Cloud  CompuLng  

XOXOXOX  

CommodiLzed  compute  combined  with  predicLve  analyLc  tools  yields  

acLonable  informaLon  

Cloud  +  PredicLve  Data  AnalyLcs  

Cheap,  AcLonable  InformaLon

Companies  that  already  have  a  BI  pracLce  will  more  easily  

integrate  predicLve  analyLcs  

Open  source  is  a  low(er)  cost  soluLon  that  will  help  drive  

adopLon  

As  predicLve  analyLcs  is  more  widely  adopted,  it  will  merge  with  BI  as  a  new  pracLce
