TOPIC
The Coming Analytics Convergence – Hadoop + DB

ABSTRACT
Data is growing at astronomic rates. "Digital Exhaust" is the creation of all our connected systems, sensors, and everything else.

IDC predicts the world will have created 44 Zettabytes by 2020. As we begin 2016, businesses are starting to leverage newer technologies and techniques to analyze the ever growing data sets. Machine Learning, Hadoop, Storm, Kakfa, & Spark, along with other technologies are becoming common business terms.

This trend hasn't eluded the manufacturers of Data Warehouses and traditional databases. On the flip side, the newer technologies like Hadoop aren't profitable yet. The two classes of technologies and respective vendors are hurdling head long into a merged world… We will talk a little about how this is starting to play out…

In particular, Keith and his team revolutionized Equifax's Identity Resolution tool on behalf of the major telecommunication carriers to cut fraud during online smart phone purchases. This Identity Resolution platform led to a CIO100 award for innovation and a patent for the technology. In another partnership, Keith partnered with a global bank based in Edinburgh, Scotland looking at Graph Data relationships to combat Fraud and reduce write offs for bad debts. This partnership led to a current patent pending that was filed in early 2015. Keith holds 2 other patents for Analytic Automation tools.
