Advances in technologies and the increasing amount of information are transforming how business is conducted in many industries, including government. Government data generation and digital archiving rates are on the rise due to the rapid growth of mobile devices and applications, smart sensors and devices, cloud computing solutions, and citizen-facing portals. As digital information expands and becomes more complex, information management, processing, storage, security, and disposition become more complex as well. New capture, search, discovery, and analysis tools are helping organizations gain insights from their unstructured data. The government market is at a tipping point, realizing that information is a strategic asset, and government needs to protect, leverage, and analyze both structured and unstructured information to better serve and meet mission requirements. As government leaders strive to evolve data-driven organizations to successfully accomplish mission, they are laying the groundwork to correlate dependencies across events, people, processes, and information. High-value government solutions will be created from a mashup of the most disruptive technologies:

• Mobile devices and applications
• Cloud services
• Social business technologies and networking
• Big Data and analytics

IDC predicts that by 2020, the IT industry will reach $5 trillion, approximately $1.7 trillion larger than today, and that 80% of the industry's growth will be driven by these 3rd Platform technologies. In the long term, these technologies will be key tools for dealing with the complexity of increased digital information. Big Data is one of the intelligent industry solutions and allows government to make better decisions by taking action based on patterns revealed by analyzing large volumes of data — related and unrelated, structured and unstructured. But accomplishing these feats takes far more than simply accumulating massive quantities of data.“Making sense of thesevolumes of Big Datarequires cutting-edge tools and technologies that can analyze and extract useful knowledge from vast and diverse streams of information,” Tom Kalil and Fen Zhao of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy wrote in a post on the OSTP Blog. The White House took a step toward helping agencies find these technologies when it established the National Big Data Research and Development Initiative in 2012. The initiative included more than $200 million to make the most of the explosion of Big Data and the tools needed to analyze it. The challenges that Big Data poses are nearly as daunting as its promise is encouraging. Storing data efficiently is one of these challenges. As always, budgets are tight, so agencies must minimize the per-megabyte price of storage and keep the data within easy access so that users can get it when they want it and how they need it. Backing up massive quantities of data heightens the challenge. Analyzing the data effectively is another major challenge. Many agencies employ commercial tools that enable them to sift through the mountains of data, spotting trends that can help them operate more efficiently. (A recent study by MeriTalk found that federal IT executives think Big Data could help agencies save more than $500 billion while also fulfilling mission objectives.). Custom-developed Big Data tools also are allowing agencies to address the need to analyze their data. For example, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Computational Data Analytics Group has made its Piranha data analytics system available to other agencies. The system has helped medical researchers find a link that can alert doctors to aortic aneurysms before they strike. It’s also used for more mundane tasks, such as sifting through résumés to connect job candidates with hiring managers.

Audience If you try to make sense out of the data you have access to or want to analyse unstructured data available on the net (like Twitter, Linked in, etc...) this course is for you. It is mostly aimed at decision makers and people who need to choose what data is worth collecting and what is worth analyzing. It is not aimed at people configuring the solution, those people will benefit from the big picture though. Delivery Mode During the course delegates will be presented with working examples of mostly open source technologies. Short lectures will be followed by presentation and simple exercises by the participants Content and Software used All software used is updated each time the course is run, so we check the newest versions possible. It covers the process from obtaining, formatting, processing and analysing the data, to explain how to automate decision making process with machine learning.

Day 1 - provides a high-level overview of essential Big Data topic areas. The module is divided into a series of sections, each of which is accompanied by a hands-on exercise. Day 2 - explores a range of topics that relate analysis practices and tools for Big Data environments. It does not get into implementation or programming details, but instead keeps coverage at a conceptual level, focusing on topics that enable participants to develop a comprehensive understanding of the common analysis functions and features offered by Big Data solutions. Day 3 - provides an overview of the fundamental and essential topic areas relating to Big Data solution platform architecture. It covers Big Data mechanisms required for the development of a Big Data solution platform and architectural options for assembling a data processing platform. Common scenarios are also presented to provide a basic understanding of how a Big Data solution platform is generally used.  Day 4 - builds upon Day 3 by exploring advanced topics relatng to Big Data solution platform architecture. In particular, different architectural layers that make up the Big Data solution platform are introduced and discussed, including data sources, data ingress, data storage, data processing and security.  Day 5 - covers a number of exercises and problems designed to test the delegates ability to apply knowledge of topics covered Day 3 and 4. 

Big Data is a term that refers to solutions destined for storing and processing large data sets. Developed by Google initially, these Big Data solutions have evolved and inspired other similar projects, many of which are available as open-source. R is a popular programming language in the financial industry.

When traditional storage technologies don't handle the amount of data you need to store there are hundereds of alternatives. This course try to guide the participants what are alternatives for storing and analyzing Big Data and what are theirs pros and cons. This course is mostly focused on discussion and presentation of solutions, though hands-on exercises are available on demand.

The course is part of the Data Scientist skill set (Domain: Data and Technology).

Big data is data sets that are so voluminous and complex that traditional data processing application software are inadequate to deal with them. Big data challenges include capturing data, data storage, data analysis, search, sharing, transfer, visualization, querying, updating and information privacy.

To meet compliance of the regulators, CSPs (Communication service providers) can tap into Big Data Analytics which not only help them to meet compliance but within the scope of same project they can increase customer satisfaction and thus reduce the churn. In fact since compliance is related to Quality of service tied to a contract, any initiative towards meeting the compliance, will improve the “competitive edge” of the CSPs. Therefore, it is important that Regulators should be able to advise/guide a set of Big Data analytic practice for CSPs that will be of mutual benefit between the regulators and CSPs. The course consists of 8 modules (4 on day 1, and 4 on day 2)
