Predictive Analytics in 30 Days: ‘How-To’ Guide - Abstract

Big data promises much, but in most cases it requires a considerable commitment up front before any value can be realized. But this is no longer true as organizations of any size can realize the value of Hadoop-based cloud solutions in less that 30 days.

The Archipelago and Qubole team will discuss how analytical insights, both descriptive and predictive, can be delivered in a minimal amount of time and at a very low cost.
