ROTFLMAO "Last week IDG published their latest big data enterprise survey and predictions for 2014 finding that on average, enterprises will spend $8M on big data -related initiatives in 2014." Guess it depends on how you define "average", "enterprise", "will" and "2014" :) (92% of companies under 1000 employees and 84% of organisations surveyed plan* to spend less than $5M, 71% of total intend to spend less than $1M. The 2% who plan to spend over $100M each may cause a light distortion in appearances) *where the total who are allegedly "planning" from the previous question includes "are considering... in the next 13 - 24 months" and "likely to miplement in the future but have no specific timelines". Very dodgy methodology. But I guess if it's good enough for climate scientists, it's good enough for market analysts :) -- Stuart On 19 Jan 2014 at 14:00, Jim Lawrence wrote: > Hi All: > > According to Forbes the future of databases are as such; 2014: The > Year Big Data Adoption Goes Mainstream In The Enterprise: > > http://www.forbes.com/sites/louiscolumbus/2014/01/12/2014-the-year-big > -data-adoption-goes-mainstream-in-the-enterprise/#! > > Are any people here on the Tech list are working with Big-Data > solutions? > > Jim > > _______________________________________________ > dba-Tech mailing list > dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com > http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech > Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com >
