Welcome to Explore the Big Data World

Big Data Consulting: Companies and Consultants

The world has already started changing, once again. We all know how the world has changed so many times, starting with the invention of the wheel long ago, and off course the recent ones to include, mobile phones and other computing devices, smart TV, ubiquitous wireless sensor networks (including cameras). The recent happening is Big Data revolution.

Welcome to the world of Big Data. I am creating a summary of the topics to be discussed in future blogs, lectures, panel discussions and Key Note Speeches.

The Big Data World is made up of the following:

1. Big Data Platform and Product Companies: Companies which have big data platforms and big data analysis and visualization. Other products and platforms are in the making with current large, small and even start up companies. I predict as a futurist that many more product companies, big, small and start up companies will come in the next months. Some of these companies may the Big Stars, which may grow up to be and stand tall with companies like Face Book and Twitter, shining in the public market.
2. Big Data Service Companies: Companies who provide a variety of services, including and not limited to, consulting services. 
3. Some companies who may play both roles as in 1. and 2.
