The Problem
05
WHAT IS BIG DATA ANALYTICS?
Before Hadoop, we had limited storage and compute, which led to a long and rigid analytics process (see below). First, IT goes through a lengthy process
(often known as ETL) to get every new data source ready to be stored. After getting the data ready, IT puts the data into a database or data warehouse, and
into a static data model. The problem with that approach is that IT designs the data model today with the knowledge of yesterday, and you have to hope that
it will be good enough for tomorrow. But nobody can predict the perfect schema. Then on top of that you put a business intelligence tool, which because of
the static schemas underneath, is optimized to answer KNOWN QUESTIONS.
TDWI says this 3-part process takes 18 months to implement or change. And on average it takes 3 months to integrate a new data source.
The business is telling us they cannot operate at this speed anymore. And there is a better way.

You need a solution with a different approach. First, you need a way to
bring in all the different data sources that is much faster than traditional
ETL. You need to be able load in raw data. That means loading all metadata
in the form it was generated — as a log file, database table, mainframe
copybook or a social media stream.
Second, you need a way to discover insights unencumbered by predefined
models. You need to be able to iterate with a widely used analysis tool,
such as a spreadsheet. Finally, you need a way to visualize those insights
and have those visualizations automatically updated. So as your business
changes, you can see and get ahead of those changes.

OPTIMIZE FUNNEL CONVERSION
HOW HAS BIG DATA ANALYTICS HELPED?
Identify roadblocks in funnel conversion
Generating traffic is good. But generating traffic that leads to sales is better. Datameer has helped
companies identify which Google AdWords lead To sales. By analyzing Google AdWords,
Salesforce, and Marketo data, this company was able to track a lead from AdWord click through to
transaction. As a result, this company was able to improve funnel conversion by 3x, leading to
$20M in additional revenue.

BEHAVIORAL ANALYTICS
HOW HAS BIG DATA ANALYTICS HELPED?
Improve game flow and increase number of paying customers
The game for gaming companies is to increase customer acquisition, retention and monetization. This
means getting more users to play, play more often and longer, and pay. First, analysts use Datameer to
identify common characteristics of users. As a result, gaming companies can target these users better
with the right advertising placement and content. To increase retention, analysts use Datameer to
understand what gets a user to play longer. A user who plays longer and interacts with other players
makes the overall gaming experience better. To increase monetization, analysts use Datameer to identify
the group of users most likely to pay based on common characteristics. As a result of this analysis the
company was able to double their revenue to over $100M.

CUSTOMER SEGMENTATION
HOW HAS BIG DATA ANALYTICS HELPED?
Target promotions to reduce customer acquisition costs
With mushrooming customer acquisition costs, it has become more important to target promotions
effectively. Now, information about a person comes from social media sources in addition to tradition
transaction data. To analyze this data, this customer used Datameer to correlate purchase history, profile
information and behavior on social media sites. For example, they collected customer profile data. Then
they’d correlate this data with transaction history and things the customers “liked” on Facebook. In this
way, the company offered a special promotion to a person who liked watching cooking programs and
shopped frequently at an organic foods store.

PREDICTIVE SUPPORT
HOW HAS BIG DATA ANALYTICS HELPED?
Identify operational failure and address them before they are reported
A couple of hours of downtime in a store or production environment means lost revenue, sometimes in
the millions of dollars. The clues to where downtime may occur are spread across devices around a
store or facility including WLAN controllers, mobile devices, routers and firewall devices. For this
customer, these devices are used to run operations such as tracking inventory. Each network device
generates enormous amounts of machine-generated data. By using Datameer to analyze all network
data, this company was able to detect potential network failures faster. As a result, they were able to
reduce the number of network failures by 30%.

MARKET BASKET ANALYSIS AND PRICING OPTIMIZATION
HOW HAS BIG DATA ANALYTICS HELPED?
Analyze pricing and historical data to price and advertise effectively
In retail, historical inventory, pricing and transaction data are spread across multiple devices and sources.
Business users need to pull together this information to understand seasonality of products, come up
with competitive pricing, determine which platforms to support so that their online users would have
optimal performance, and where to target ads. With Datameer, these business users could do their
analysis in 3 days instead of 12 weeks with their traditional tools and heavy IT involvement.

PREDICT SECURITY THREAT
HOW HAS BIG DATA ANALYTICS HELPED?
Identify where security threats may occur
Feeds
Log Files
Firewall
The security landscape is always changing. So changes in behavior can indicate where the next attack
may occur. For example, this company used Datameer to follow a virus that started in Russia, moved
across Asia, to the US, and forcing Windows upgrades in its path. By seeing where the traffic was
generated in particular geographic areas, they could predict where the next security threats would be.
This enabled them to proactively go after the security threats and reduce the risk of a data breach,
which on average costs organizations $5.5M.

15
FRAUD DETECTION
HOW HAS BIG DATA ANALYTICS HELPED?
Identify potential fraud
Credit card fraud has changed. Instead of stealing a credit card and using it to buy big ticket items, some
credit card thieves have become more sophisticated. For example, they can now making numerous, small
transactions that are seemingly benign. But if Joe is making 100 $5 margarita transactions at various
locations, something is wrong. By analyzing point of sale, geolocation, authorization, and transaction data
with Datameer, this financial customer was able to identify fraud patterns in historical data. This analysis
helped the firm identify $2B in fraud. By applying the fraud model to new transactions, the company was
able to identify potential fraud and proactively notify customers.

WHETHER TO
BUY OR BUILD?
How do I
decide
QUESTIONS TO ASK
BUY VS. BUILD
We have done hundreds of implementation and found that in order to make a decision
for build vs. buy, the following questions are critical:
Questions to ask when considering the BUILD option:
How much time and money will it take to build a team that can
build the desired solution?
Does your organization have the time to hire the right people?
Can you afford to wait 1 year or more before you get insights?
Have you considered ongoing software maintenance costs?
Are you willing to wait 3 months to add a new data source?
Are you willing to manage 3 different teams (for integration,
analysis and visualization)?
How about all the communication time required to keep in
sync regarding changes in the project?
Questions to ask when considering the BUY option:
Have you defined your decision criteria?
(See Decision Criteria for selecting a big data analytics solution p.28)
Have you confirmed that the solution solves your
objectives and proof points?
Have you validated your choice? Have you done
reference calls?
Do you have the right people in place to deploy and use
this solution?
Will you need to train people?
What sort of project is my use case? Data application, discovery or reporting?

Data Loading — A software has to be developed to load
data from multiple, various data sources. This system
needs to deal with the distributed nature of Hadoop on
the one side and the non-distributed nature of the data
source. The system needs to deal with corrupted records
and need to provide monitoring services.
In your big data analytics solution, you will need to provide the following:
(see notes section for descriptions)
WHAT FUNCTIONALITY DO I NEED?
IF I BUILD...
Data Loading
Dependency Management — There are complex
dependencies that must be managed. For example,
certain data sets have to be loaded before certain
jobs in Hadoop can be run.
Dependency
Management
Data synchronization — Data often needs to be
pushed from Hadoop in to a data store like a
database or in-memory system.
Data
Synchronization
Monitoring API — Every aspect of a big data
analytics solution needs to be monitored. Things
that need to monitored include who has access to
the system, job health, performance, and data
throughput.
Monitoring API
Management UI — A management user interface
is critical for ease of configuration and monitoring.
Management UI
Security Integration — For security purposes, it is
important to be able to integrate with Kerberos and
LDAP.
Security
Integration
Data Parsing — Most data sources provide data in a
certain format that needs to be parsed into the
Hadoop system. For example, let’s consider parsing a
log file into records. Some formats are complicated to
parse like JSON where a record can be on many lines
of text and not just one line per record.
Data Parsing
Data Analytics — In order for data to be properly
analyzed, a big data analytics solution needs to
support rapid iterations.Data Analytics
Scheduling — All the items discussed above need to
be orchestrated and scheduled. Scheduling needs to
be easy to configure. In addition, the scheduling needs
have monitoring services to notify administrators of
jobs that fail.
Scheduling
Data Visualization — In order for an analyst to see
the insights, data needs to be visualized. Integrating
visualization is difficult because middleware needs to
be built to deliver the data out of Hadoop and into the
visualization layer.

It is very difficult to hire engineers
that are experienced with Hadoop.
Most already work for other big
companies and/or are very
expensive. Hadoop resources can
cost $300K/ year or more.
The first step is a design phase
and includes requirements
gathering (that will change later),
technical design, release and
resource planning.
In the implementation phase all
the “heavy lifting” development
work has to be done.
In this phase, as test
development is tested, test
engineers and a dedicated test
environment is required. This
often doubles hardware costs.
When building a system frequent
deployment into the production
system occurs. This means the
production system is frequently
down or another staging
environment is required.
When all design, develop, test and
deploy work is done then you can
finally start analyzing the data.
Most often you will find that people have
limited Hadoop experience, and you will need
to train them on the technology. This is a
significant investment in time and money. In
addition, practical Hadoop experience only
comes from running a Hadoop environment.

How do I Select
THE RIGHT BIG DATA ANALYTICS
SOLUTION FOR ME?
26
Ease of use
Does the business need IT to Help?
Can a business analyst use the tool to do analysis?
Data Integration
Does system support native connectors to unstructured and semi-structured
data sources (e.g. email, log files, social, SaaS, machine data)? Does it
support flexible partitioning of the data so that it is easy to work with large
amounts of data? Does the solution support streaming of data so that users
will have the most current data? Does the solution provide data quality
functions so that the data can be quickly normalized and transformed?
Analytics
Does the solution provide an intuitive environment (e.g. spreadsheet) that
business users can quickly use? Does the solution include pre-built analytic
functions? Does the system provide a preview to validate analysis and show
data lineage for auditing data flows? Do data models have to be defined
before insights can be gained? Do analysts need to know what they want to
do before they have had a chance to look at the data? Or can analysts look at
the data, iterate, make the changes they need and analyze without involving IT?
Visualizations
Does the solution support complete freeform visualization? Or is it just a
combination of reports and dashboards?
Integration with existing IT infrastructure
Does the solution support import from and export into other BI systems?
Administration
Does the system support flexible security integration with LDAP and
ActiveDirectory?
Extensibility
Does the solution support open API’s for custom data connections and
custom visualizations?
Architecture
Does the solution run natively on Hadoop? Is a separate cluster required
(ideally no separate cluster should be required)? Are there memory
constraints, or is the product limited by the availability of the memory within the
nodes? The ideal solution should have no memory constraints as that limits the
interactivity in analysis and leads to distortion of insights. Does the solution
provide a job planner and optimizer to ensure the lowest number of
MapReduce jobs is executed?
Vendor requirements
Is the system proven, does it have numerous major releases? How much is it in
enterprise use, has it analyze substantial data, (terabytes, petabytes or
exabytes)?
HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT BIG DATA ANALYTICS SOLUTION
After working with hundreds of customers, we’ve found the following are the top
things to look for in a Big Data Analytics Solution.

BEST PRACTICES FOR THE BUSINESS
BUDGET SO YOU CAN SELL INTERNALLY
To successfully sell internally, answer
the following questions:
What’s my total cost of ownership?
(Contact marketing@datameer.com for more information on this analysis).
Have I considered and budgeted for:
• People?
• Software Acquisition, Support?
• Hardware (Server, network)?
• Logistics (Hardware / people)?
• Operations/Data Center cost (power, cooling, etc.)?
It is critical to sell your project
internally not just at the beginning
of the project but continuously.
Especially as Big Data Analytics is new and top of mind for many executives and management, selling internally will pay
off in the short and long term.
To sell internally, it will be important to:
Identify the sponsor
Build a business case
Define your metrics for success
Evangelize big data in business terms
Identify and communicate the risk of not doing big data
Show that the competition is already doing it
Start small, show the results fast
Communicate risks clearly
Demonstrate the use case through pilots
Involve the consumers of data, not just producers, early

Is faster because it has fewer steps in the process.
Instead of hiring developers, ramping them up, defining, developing,
testing, deploying and then analyzing, you can start with defining and
analyzing.
Has fewer technical requirements
Instead of manually building capabilities for data loading, data parsing,
data analytics, data visualization, scheduling, dependency
management, data synchronization, monitoring API, management UI,
and security integration, you can have it all in one platform. Buying the
right solution also means you don’t have force fit a new technology
into old architecture.
3 Prebuilt integration, analytics, dashboards
Data integration – Quickly ingesting data from many different types of data
sources is critical to the success of a big data project. Eliminating the IT
intensive ETL and modeling processes is critical to allowing analysts to be able
to meaningfully interact with data and to prevent long and expensive waits while
data is prepared. To achieve this, a solution should have a large set of native
connectors for the integration of all types of disparate data — structured,
unstructured and semi-structured (e.g. databases, file systems, social media,
mainframe, SaaS applications, XML, JSON).
Analytics – Analysts need a tool to work with the data, turn it into a form that
can be usable and then perform the analysis. The means having pre built
transformations to clean up the data so that is usable as well as prebuilt
analytic functions. These functions should include ones to support unstructured
data and sentiment analysis. This tool should also provide a preview to validate
analysis and show data lineage for auditing data flows.
Visualization – Beyond static dashboards, analysts need Infographics
where data visualizations have no built-in constraints. Users need to be able to
drag and top any widget, graphic, text, dashboard or info graphic element as
needed or desired.

  • 6. WHAT IS BIG DATA ANALYTICS AND WHAT MAKES IT SO POWERFUL? The Problem 05 WHAT IS BIG DATA ANALYTICS? Before Hadoop, we had limited storage and compute, which led to a long and rigid analytics process (see below). First, IT goes through a lengthy process (often known as ETL) to get every new data source ready to be stored. After getting the data ready, IT puts the data into a database or data warehouse, and into a static data model. The problem with that approach is that IT designs the data model today with the knowledge of yesterday, and you have to hope that it will be good enough for tomorrow. But nobody can predict the perfect schema. Then on top of that you put a business intelligence tool, which because of the static schemas underneath, is optimized to answer KNOWN QUESTIONS. TDWI says this 3-part process takes 18 months to implement or change. And on average it takes 3 months to integrate a new data source. The business is telling us they cannot operate at this speed anymore. And there is a better way.

  • 7. You need a solution with a different approach. First, you need a way to bring in all the different data sources that is much faster than traditional ETL. You need to be able load in raw data. That means loading all metadata in the form it was generated — as a log file, database table, mainframe copybook or a social media stream. Second, you need a way to discover insights unencumbered by predefined models. You need to be able to iterate with a widely used analysis tool, such as a spreadsheet. Finally, you need a way to visualize those insights and have those visualizations automatically updated. So as your business changes, you can see and get ahead of those changes.

  • 17. 16 WHETHER TO BUY OR BUILD? How do I decide
  • 18. QUESTIONS TO ASK BUY VS. BUILD We have done hundreds of implementation and found that in order to make a decision for build vs. buy, the following questions are critical: Questions to ask when considering the BUILD option: How much time and money will it take to build a team that can build the desired solution? Does your organization have the time to hire the right people? Can you afford to wait 1 year or more before you get insights? Have you considered ongoing software maintenance costs? Are you willing to wait 3 months to add a new data source? Are you willing to manage 3 different teams (for integration, analysis and visualization)? How about all the communication time required to keep in sync regarding changes in the project? Questions to ask when considering the BUY option: Have you defined your decision criteria? (See Decision Criteria for selecting a big data analytics solution p.28) Have you confirmed that the solution solves your objectives and proof points? Have you validated your choice? Have you done reference calls? Do you have the right people in place to deploy and use this solution? Will you need to train people? What sort of project is my use case?

  • 24. 23 Data Loading — A software has to be developed to load data from multiple, various data sources. This system needs to deal with the distributed nature of Hadoop on the one side and the non-distributed nature of the data source. The system needs to deal with corrupted records and need to provide monitoring services. In your big data analytics solution, you will need to provide the following: (see notes section for descriptions) WHAT FUNCTIONALITY DO I NEED? IF I BUILD... Data Loading Dependency Management — There are complex dependencies that must be managed. For example, certain data sets have to be loaded before certain jobs in Hadoop can be run. Dependency Management Data synchronization — Data often needs to be pushed from Hadoop in to a data store like a database or in-memory system. Data Synchronization Monitoring API — Every aspect of a big data analytics solution needs to be monitored. Things that need to monitored include who has access to the system, job health, performance, and data throughput. Monitoring API Management UI — A management user interface is critical for ease of configuration and monitoring. Management UI Security Integration — For security purposes, it is important to be able to integrate with Kerberos and LDAP. Security Integration Data Parsing — Most data sources provide data in a certain format that needs to be parsed into the Hadoop system. For example, let’s consider parsing a log file into records. Some formats are complicated to parse like JSON where a record can be on many lines of text and not just one line per record. Data Parsing Data Analytics — In order for data to be properly analyzed, a big data analytics solution needs to support rapid iterations.Data Analytics Scheduling — All the items discussed above need to be orchestrated and scheduled. Scheduling needs to be easy to configure. In addition, the scheduling needs have monitoring services to notify administrators of jobs that fail. Scheduling Data Visualization — In order for an analyst to see the insights, data needs to be visualized. Integrating visualization is difficult because middleware needs to be built to deliver the data out of Hadoop and into the visualization layer. Data Visualization ©2013 Datameer, Inc.

  • 25. 24 It is very difficult to hire engineers that are experienced with Hadoop. Most already work for other big companies and/or are very expensive. Hadoop resources can cost $300K/ year or more. The first step is a design phase and includes requirements gathering (that will change later), technical design, release and resource planning. In the implementation phase all the “heavy lifting” development work has to be done. In this phase, as test development is tested, test engineers and a dedicated test environment is required. This often doubles hardware costs. When building a system frequent deployment into the production system occurs. This means the production system is frequently down or another staging environment is required. When all design, develop, test and deploy work is done then you can finally start analyzing the data. Most often you will find that people have limited Hadoop experience, and you will need to train them on the technology. This is a significant investment in time and money. In addition, practical Hadoop experience only comes from running a Hadoop environment.

  • 27. 26 Ease of use Does the business need IT to Help? Can a business analyst use the tool to do analysis? Data Integration Does system support native connectors to unstructured and semi-structured data sources (e.g. email, log files, social, SaaS, machine data)? Does it support flexible partitioning of the data so that it is easy to work with large amounts of data? Does the solution support streaming of data so that users will have the most current data? Does the solution provide data quality functions so that the data can be quickly normalized and transformed? Analytics Does the solution provide an intuitive environment (e.g. spreadsheet) that business users can quickly use? Does the solution include pre-built analytic functions? Does the system provide a preview to validate analysis and show data lineage for auditing data flows? Do data models have to be defined before insights can be gained? Do analysts need to know what they want to do before they have had a chance to look at the data? Or can analysts look at the data, iterate, make the changes they need and analyze without involving IT? Visualizations Does the solution support complete freeform visualization? Or is it just a combination of reports and dashboards? Integration with existing IT infrastructure Does the solution support import from and export into other BI systems? Administration Does the system support flexible security integration with LDAP and ActiveDirectory? Extensibility Does the solution support open API’s for custom data connections and custom visualizations? Architecture Does the solution run natively on Hadoop? Is a separate cluster required (ideally no separate cluster should be required)? Are there memory constraints, or is the product limited by the availability of the memory within the nodes? The ideal solution should have no memory constraints as that limits the interactivity in analysis and leads to distortion of insights. Does the solution provide a job planner and optimizer to ensure the lowest number of MapReduce jobs is executed? Vendor requirements Is the system proven, does it have numerous major releases? How much is it in enterprise use, has it analyze substantial data, (terabytes, petabytes or exabytes)?

Eliminating the IT intensive ETL and modeling processes is critical to allowing analysts to be able to meaningfully interact with data and to prevent long and expensive waits while data is prepared. To achieve this, a solution should have a large set of native connectors for the integration of all types of disparate data — structured, unstructured and semi-structured (e.g. databases, file systems, social media, mainframe, SaaS applications, XML, JSON). Analytics – Analysts need a tool to work with the data, turn it into a form that can be usable and then perform the analysis. The means having pre built transformations to clean up the data so that is usable as well as prebuilt analytic functions. These functions should include ones to support unstructured data and sentiment analysis. This tool should also provide a preview to validate analysis and show data lineage for auditing data flows. Visualization – Beyond static dashboards, analysts need Infographics where data visualizations have no built-in constraints. Users need to be able to drag and top any widget, graphic, text, dashboard or info graphic element as needed or desired. 38©2013 Datameer, Inc. All rights reserved.
