10 Big Data Stories You Shouldn’t Miss this Week

“Where there is data smoke, there is business fire.” – Thomas Redman 

The idea of Data Smoke is quite a brilliant analogy by Thomas Redman. It adequately explains why so much emphasis has been placed on tools, personnel, and culture within companies over the past decade. To understand the quote, however, it’s important to note that this process works backwards: what companies are trying to do is extinguish the already existing fire, rather than prevent a fire from beginning at all. Essentially, they are trying to control the incredible amounts of data  they have — the existing “fire” — through investing in new services and tools — to reduce the “smoke”.

It’s no wonder that Intel Capital announced this week that it would invest $62 million in innovative technology companies, where a major chunk of this money will be given to companies showcasing Big Data and Cloud infrastructure. Moreover, we saw an incredible partnership formed at the beginning of the week between IBM and Twitter to amalgamate Twitter’s vast data silos with IBM’s cloud-based analytics, customer engagement platforms, and consulting services. In other news, a new study revealed that big data jobs earn 24% more than other IT positions.

Aside from this, below we have selected a number of our favourite articles this week. We hope you enjoy reading them as much as we did writing them!
