AtScale Blog

We did it again! The AtScale team was present at the Dataworks Summit 2018 in San Jose, California. We hope you had the opportunity to attend some, if not all, of the great sessions that we suggested. If you missed the event, don’t worry, we have prepared a great summary for you.

At the beginning of 2018 we predicted that cloud adoption would be one of the key strategic trends that would help enterprises succeed with Big Data.  Managing on-premise data infrastructure requires a huge effort.  And, as people become more adept at consuming data, enterprises want to make that information more actionable, whether it's on-premises or in the cloud.

Today we are proud to announce “AtScale Cloud”: this release provides BI users with the most innovative, modern, and easy to use big data intelligence platform for any cloud.

“Cloud computing” is that magnificent umbrella technology term that is broadly used to describe everything from ordering groceries online to keeping track of asset logistics across the globe.

If you are one of our avid followers, you might remember that, when we refer to “The Cloud”, we talk about the infrastructure that lets your people do data analytics at a wide scale.  We’ve written pieces like “the 6 principles of modern data architecture” to provide a guide for how to ‘treat data’ through your modernization journey.  And we’ve provided tools like the Data Maturity Survey to assess where you might be, along that journey.

This week, we’re sharing a piece from 451 Research that we think will help you survive through the inevitable ups and downs of your digital and cloud transformation.

Does your decision-making process need an overhaul? In 2015, over 60% of the decisions made by companies were still based on ‘intuition’ or ‘experience’ of their executive team. With the rise of big data, it is imperative that we make use of such a valuable asset to make fact-based decisions and not just provide an opinion. This means that we need to become data-driven, of course this is easier said than done. It requires more than investing on the latest data and analytics software; it also requires cultural and organizational change.

We Told You It Would Be Cloudy

You have probably already heard all about it, read all about it and know all about it, but if you are anything like me, (or Einstein) you have already figured out that the more we learn about BI on Big Data the more we realize how little we know. Or, do we?
