4. Key takeaways from EDW 2014
© Copyright 2014 ALTILIA s.r.l. 4
1. Simply collecting, joining, consolidating, managing Big
Data is not enough. To be useful you need semantic
middleware with contextual processing (machine
learning + natural language processing) with right
enabling infrastructure (Hadoop + more).
2. Context is king and as the demand for real-time
business decision making intensifies, semantic
middleware with cognitive analytics bridges gap
between Big Data and practical decision making.

Key takeaways from EDW 2014
3. MANTRA ‘Smart Data’ platform uses contextual
workflows with explicit + implicit data semantics to
unify disparate web and enterprise unstructured and
structured data with a schema agnostic approach
that lessens need for data scientists, information
architects, ontologists, taxonomists, etc.
4. MANTRA saves time and money for application
developers enabling them to build and deploy smart
applications so users can get faster business insights
for more informed decisions.
