Interactive Analytics (OmniSci, formerly MapD) with James Yu and Jason Bachman
Everyone is talking about big data. But if you are a data scientist, data engineer, GIS analyst, business analyst or the like, how can you get access to the data and make it actionable quickly? What if there was a solution that provided real time insight on hundreds of millions and even billions of records? Come see demos on how two companies are using a real solution to explore big data, deal with the challenges of geospatial queries at scale, and drive business decisions from Big Data in near real-time.
