Data is imperative to any business, Which is why we are in business today. The question now for us is How can we keep up with traditional Enterprise Information management landscape and equip ourselves personally with the evolving Data science and Big Data technology stack. Often the expectation from our customers in this competitive industry, is to be on top of the technological evolution and keep abridged with our latest industry trends. This factor also helps Organizations to form CoEs, forums etc which will contribute in developing the niche skills and capabilities, which will indirectly benefit our solutions we provide to existing customers and to win new businesses/deals.
This factor and expectation drives the interest to learn more about these latest technological trends and potential impact on traditional DW environments. I have been following passively by reading some blogs, forums etc to boost my understanding about the latest Big Data/Hadoop trends.
You will find below my favorite links and blogs I liked while exploring. I intend to continue on this journey as and when I found interesting piece of wisdom/information.
