This document discusses challenges and opportunities around data visualization, big data, and information consumption. It advocates for data visualization to enhance reporting, analysis, and discovery. It also emphasizes the need for solutions that are easy to use, can connect to many data sources, deploy quickly, manage easily, and scale securely. Additionally, it addresses the business critical needs of speed, security, and governance when dealing with data from a variety of sources. It proposes addressing these needs through small pilots, accessible tools for end users, a rapid response IT team, defining data ownership policies, and using data aware storage solutions.

2. Question?
How much would your
iPhone have cost in 1980?
Ignore tech reality – figure memory cost only.

3. Data Visualization
The lingua franca of data.
!
!A language that is adopted as a common
language between speakers whose native
languages are different.
As a means for dealing with variety.

4. Big Data?
Size + Velocity = Solved
Variety is the challenge

5. Information Consumer "
Critical needs
• Reporting
• Analysis
• Discovery
Data visualization enhances all three

6. Desirable Qualities
• Easy to learn/use
• Connect to many data sources
• Deploy quickly
• Manage easily
• Scale securely

7. Your Challenges & Opportunities
• Accountability – moving it to where it belongs
• Availability – data from a variety of sources
• Responsiveness – tech resources on demand

8. Business Critical Needs
• Speed
• Security
• Governance

9. Small pilots < 4 weeks build
confidence and enthusiasm
Speed of Deployment

10. Speed of Response
Restructure the IT group by creating a
rapid-response team.
Rapid = < 1 hour to immediate

11. Speed of Analysis
• Given end users accessible tools
• Publishing in a browser (embeddable/flexible)
• Creating a rapid-response team in IT

12. Security - Right Mindset
• Define what IT owns
• Define what the creator owns
• This isn’t a technology problem

13. Tracking Unstructured Data
• Hard to do with existing methods/technology
• Data aware storage is part of the answer
• Populating the NAS (network attached storage)
NAS = Network Aware Storage
