Pushing Past Pilot Paralysis to Launch and Scale IIOT Use Cases
With billions of industrial IoT (IIOT) devices in place, generating massive volumes of data from “the edge,” the potential for proof of concept success for use cases in the factory can be paralyzing. While the value of this digital revolution, aka Industry 4.0, is clear, realizing the full promise has been slow. Research and real-life experience from Accenture shows that many manufacturers get stuck early on or can’t get beyond proof-of-concept pilots to scale.
The Four Upgrade and Migration Paths to CDP from Legacy Distributions
The move into any new technology requires planning and coordinated effort to ensure a successful transition. This blog will describe the four paths to move from a legacy platform such as Cloudera CDH or HDP into CDP Public Cloud or CDP Private Cloud.

How to be a data-driven organization: Key learnings from Chief Product Officer Summit
Many people consider data-driven culture exclusively as one that comprises a large data team (analysts, data scientists), perfect data-sets neatly organized in a structured data warehouse, and the perfect tools to both access and utilize data in every decision made. Ultimately, however, much of data-driven culture comes down to a clear focus on the end-goal. Many people forget data is just an implementation, something that helps us in what we do.
How to Establish an Effective BI Security Strategy
Business intelligence (BI) tools have been a shot in the arm of the enterprise. Teams can create their own visualizations and enjoy self-service analytics, without needing IT to compile reports or wrangle big data. But, of course, there’s a catch. BI tools expose data to a wider range of people, which means there are new issues of BI security (BISEC) and privacy to think about, especially in the age of GDPR. Here’s what you need to know.
Mapping Your Automation Journey in Financial Services
Automation will fail to achieve most of its potential if treated as a specialty, single-function tool applied only to accelerate narrow parts of business processes. In most industries, financial services included, automation done properly is a journey that delivers a steady stream of benefits resulting from building a broader and increasingly powerful multilayered stack of automated processes and analytics.
Humans and Data? Relationship Status: Complicated
Many people may know me as someone who aims to find a mathematical angle in almost everything. And they wouldn’t be wrong – on my journey to bring my passion for math to the masses, I’ve even shown the mathematical angle for finding love! Yes, really – feel free to read my book on it. So, if there’s just one thing that I want people to take away from my chat with Joe DosSantos on Data Brilliant, it’s that math and data really do touch every part of our lives.
