Point: it’s not about the data – it’s about the app.The first thing we’ve learned is that…it’s not the BEST DATA that win….IT’S the best DATA service that win!(by mash-up here I mean it both in the frond-end, as well as in the back end and figuratively…we’ll talk about these concept later on).Let me give you an example.You’ve heard the phrase “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”….well that may be true in most places in Vegas…but not when you check in at the Palms hotel.You see, The Palms minds the social activity of its guests and is smart enough to upgrade and offer promotions to its customers in real-time.Imagine this….you check in into a hotel and the Palms customer rewards program determines on the fly whether or not to upgrade you to a better room during your stay based on your level of influence on the web – maybe your influence with Vegas, activities going on in Vegas during that week or maybe your knowledge of high-end hotels.How cool is that?Now – what do you need to do the same thing? A large team of data scientists? Years of data-crushing and buying expensive and sensitive data? No!You just need to call Klout!
See Klout a social media influence service. Think about it as PageRank for People. At anytime of the day, it can score the relevance of the millions of internet users on social media (twitter, facebook..etc).You’re looking at Joe’s page on the right – you can see that he is big on Social Media and…well…Burritos--“Data is the chief asset that drives our services,” said Dave Mariani – their CTO and good friend of Microsoft.Dave’s Team uses SQL Server on top of Hadoop and Hive in order to collect and work with over 1B signals a day on users.Everyday - Klout loads about 600 million rows a day into SQL Server from Hiveand queries across the entire data set usually take less than 10 seconds….
Analytics must drive the decisions we are focused on and that means driving results into our operational systems
A focus on decisions lets us cut through this data and bring together the data we need
