Specifically, when it comes to Telecom domain, we support some of the leading Tier 1/ Tier 2 Service Providers across the globe
It is one of the key verticals of focus for us and we continue to see a lot of growth and momentum in the communications domain.
------------------
In addition to being the most significant contributor to the development of the Hadoop open source software ecosystem,
Cloudera has developed differentiated software like Cloudera Manager (system management), Cloudera Navigator (data management, lineage, governance, & security), Cloudera Director (cloud-based deployment) and other capabilities that augment our open source core for enterprise use.
Where should you get started? There are many opportunities.
A suggested starting point is Data Engineering to address Active Archive, ETL Offload or EDW Optimization.
As you mature and lay the foundation, you could start solving analytics use cases - Self service BI, Advanced Analytics or Data science
Lastly, use for developing data application or data products - Recommendation engines, algorithm development or event detection
All of these are enabled by EDH

A national security organization in the US offers real-time information, warnings and guidelines that strengthen our ability to protect against cyber attacks. Background: In today’s digital world, cyber security is a serious effort. A US national security organization is tasked with identifying potentially suspicious activity across the worldwide web, and they must make that information available to 700 commercial and federal organizations.
Challenge: More data lends itself to more accurate predictions, so logically the organization has been collecting massive volumes of cyber data in order to prevent cyber attacks. But their incumbent IBM Netezza environment was hitting scalability and performance limitations.
Solution: The organization deployed a Cloudera Enterprise platform with Sherpasurfing, an open source cyber security solution created by Six3 Systems. Cloudera runs data processing, staging and storage; the Cloudera environment is integrated with Netezza which performs analytics. The system is also integrated with HP ArcSite, Tableau and Centrifuge. Hadoop components in use include Accumulo, Hive, Flume, MapReduce and Sqoop. This organization is growing their Cloudera cluster to 100 PB.
Results: Since deploying Cloudera alongside Netezza, this organization can offer real-time information and warnings to other government organizations. They can also now show rich information on major malware outbreaks and provide guidelines to strengthen organizations’ protection against cyber attacks -- this is a net new capability that resulted from their Cloudera deployment.

Identify trends over time which can inform effective practices, help you become aware of issues, and illuminate possible innovations or solutions
A study from the MIT Center for Digital Business found that organizations driven most by data-based decision making had 4% higher productivity rates and 6% higher profits.
Data is a good benchmark for staff to connect their actions to business results, which will reveal new opportunities for improvement.
Performance appraisals can then be based on measurable accomplishments and managers are able to see how well the whole organization is doing and where the organization’s strengths and weaknesses lie
The three areas of opportunities within businesses generally are:
Customer 360 - How do I understand my customers and my channel better to improve my topline?
Data-driven products - How do I create better and more products to satisfy the needs of my customers?
Risk - How do I make sure that the company complies to rules and regulations, protects customer and enterprise information, and minimize the risk factors?
