Over the past 6 months I have seen the number of big data projects go up significantly and most of the companies I work with are planning to increase their Big Data activities even further over the next 12 months. Many of these initiatives come with high expectations but big data projects are far from fool-proof. In fact, I predict that half of all big data projects will fail to deliver against their expectations.
Failure can happen for many reasons, however there are a few…

US agricultural manufacturer John Deere has always been a pioneering company. Its eponymous founder personally designed, built and sold some of the first commercial steel ploughs. These made the lives of settlers moving into the Midwest during the middle of the 19th century much easier and established the company as an American legend.

I rarely get to use a walkie-talkie during a course in school. As the snapshot of my desktop shows on the image below, I had both a multi-line telephone and portable radio. Just before the exam, I participated in a simulation. Our tabletop exercise contained an emergency scenario: a train derailment involving the evacuation of residents.

Some truly disruptive technologies are on the verge of exploding into reality and it is difficult to imagine what the future holds. With these new technologies, however, we must not ignore the technically sound practices that allowed us to reach this point – managing data integrity is one of those practices.
As promised from my last post, I will discuss the importance of data integrity in the…
