- Title slide: "Making Sense of Big Data" (I like the Elephant on the motorcycle as the background image here along with the descriptor, "We provide a suite of big data services in the cloud, used by enterprise customers who want to quickly unlock the value of their data"Slide 1: "Information is Powerful, but it's how we use it..." Set the stage, we are here today to learn how to leverage Big Data to derive value and achieve insights. Slide 2: "What is Big Data?" The message here is to start at the beginning and define it for those in the audience who might be unclear (we know there are many people who are). Use the first slide from your CloudCon deck here.Slide 3: State of the world - data is increasing exponentially and it's only going to continue and therefore require infrastructure and management in order to provide useful insights. Use your slide 2 from your Cloudcon deck - it has a nice image of volume (which is one of the tenants of big data)Slide 4: Why is this occurring? Here the message is new types of data, batch vs. real-time -- everyone is "listening" now and measuring more activity, actions, conversations than every before. Use the CloudCon slide that builds vertically from batch to real time and horizontally from large enterprise to small enterprise.Slide 5: Problem: "Little Data for Business Users" slide from CloudCon. The message here is that due to the influx and types of data, etc. the actual users are too far removed from it and therefore blind to how to instill insights from it. Walk through the build as it explains really well how data moves throughout an organization and where the roadblocks are for getting insight to execs to act upon. Slide 6: Use the #thisreallysucks slide here to drive home the current state of being.Slide 7: "Big Data for Business Users" slide. This is the end state of being for executives looking to use data to improve operational efficiency and competitive advantage.Slide 8: Use the build slide here to show how we bring the data to the app developer and therefore reduce the friction for executives.Slide 9: Use the #thisisreallygood slide here to enhance the point that this is the way data and info should flowSlide 10: How do you achieve this state?Slide 11: Introducing Infochimps. Use the "Good to Great" (#2) slide from your 451 deck to give a brief overview of who we are. We cut our teeth on big data having built the largest data marketplace, where we leveraged the latest technology (Hadoop, etc) to manage big data. We realized that others must be realizing the same issues as IC and decided to externalize our platform to help companies implement their own Big Data infrastructure.Slide 12: Big Data Cloud Platform (the solution to the Big Data problem). Use slide #7 from 451 deck. Walk through the platform and the components, allowing attendees to see that we offer an end-to-end, cloud-based solution. Call out the value of our 4 pillars here - Fast, Simple, Flexible, Enterprise-ready.Slide 13: Deployment options slide. This is where we talk about IC being offered as a managed service and the value it affords. NOTE: Not sure if we want to communicate the Data Intelligence Network since we have not publicly or formally announced it. Slide 14: IC in action: Infomart use case (challenge, IC solution, result)Slide 15: one more use case if time (Koupon)?Slide 16: Close: Infochimps the #1 Big Data Platform for the Cloud. Include sales contact number at bottom of the slide along with web address.
- AvinashKaushik gave a talk at Strata 2012 in Santa Clara in March….and quoted an Kenyan Farmer.If you listen to all the hype of Big Data, it solves for the first problem.If you listen to all the vendors, there is a lot of emphasis on the first part (perhaps Infochimps included), and very little on the second.I think that’s because we don’t exactly know how to truly empower the organization to interact directly with any/all data available.It’s too expensive, risky, complex.

- Discussions with O’Reilly Media, Teradata, Aster Data, Yahoo!, eBay, and Facebook.The issue is not just the fact that unstructured data is exploding, but the number of sources and types of data as well…all fed from the explosion of devices used by people to interact with each other, products, and services.
- We have a problem today WITH our data infrastructure….our ability to gleam insights.I think all of you know what I’m referring to…..It’s the fact that we’re operating on less than 15% of the corporate data available to us…..even with the ENTERPRISE DATA WAREHOUSE, the EDW which is supposedly storing a COMPLETE, SINGLE VIEW OF THE TRUTH….We’re still giving our business users…..a tiny bit…a little bit of data.

- 3 node Hadoop system:$8K/node$10K switch$4K/node HadoopDistro$24K + $10K x 25%x3 maintenance = $43K$4K x 3 x 3 = $36KTotal = There are three essential elements of an analytic platform: Strong support for analytic database query. A variety of query styles — at a minimum, SQL, MDX or graph.Strong support for analytic processes other than queries. Typically these would be in the areas of mathematics (statistics, predictive analytics, data mining, linear algebra, optimization, graph theory, etc.) and/or data transformation (e.g. sessionization, entity extraction).Strong integration between the first two.The point is — an analytic platform is something on which you can build a range of powerful analytic applications. Some specifics of what to look for in analytic platform may be found in the link above.http://www.dbms2.com/2011/02/24/analytic-platforms/http://www.dbms2.com/2011/01/18/architectural-options-for-analytic-database-management-systems/Enterprise data warehouse (Full or partial)Kinds of data likely to be included: All, but especially operationalLikely use styles: AllCanonical example: Central EDW for a big enterpriseStresses: Concurrency, reliability, workload managementClassical EDWs are Teradata, DB2, Exadata, and maybe Microsoft SQL ServerTraditional data martKinds of data likely to be included: AllLikely use styles: Business intelligence, budgeting/consolidation, investigativeExamples: Reporting servers, planning/consolidation servers, anything MOLAP, etc.Stresses: Performance, concurrency, TCOColumnar DBMS might have more attractive performance and TCO (Total Cost of Ownership); the same goes for Netezza.

- The Business User
- The way this is performed is by taking data sources like images and storing them into Hadoop. Then using Big Data tools like MapReduce to perform sophisticated analysis on those aggregated data sets.Why is this concept so disruptive?Things like a fraction of the price….no structured data model – aka no star schema…yet the ability to run sophisticated queries and algorithms against all your detailed data.

- The current image shows a Walmart in Wichita, Kansas.Analysts count cars in Wal-Mart parking lots to measure overall customer traffic to understand growth versus its competition.For example, Wal-Mart's growthwas determined to come mostly from areas of high unemployment.This type of analysis is being performed in Amazon”s EC2…
- The current image shows the a Target in the Moraine Point Plaza located in Gardiner, NorthAnalysts comparing satellite parking lot data with regional unemployment trends found Target's growth tended to come in areas of lower-than-average unemployment. Again, these processes are being performed in Amazon EC2.…this is interesting….but how do we process the data further to help derive more relevant insights?http://www.cnbc.com/id/38738810/Spying_For_Profits_The_Satellite_Image_Indicator
- The previous examples of Walmart and Target involved using a regression algorithm which was executed against the satellite data + other data to produce a quarterly revenue prediction which BEAT all previous models.

- Slide 1: Company Overview.The best way to give an overview of your company is to state concisely your core value proposition: What unique benefit will you provide to what set of customers to address what particular need? Then you can add three or four additional dot points to clarify your target markets, your unique technology/solution, and your status (launch date, current customers, revenue rate, pipeline, funding needed). Key objective: Flesh out the foundation you established at the beginning. At this point, no one should have any question about what it is that your company does, or plans to do. The only questions that should remain are the details of how you are going to do it. Another key objective you should have achieved by this point in your presentation is to make sure that if there are some compelling brand names associated with your company (customers, partners, investors, advisors), your audience knows about them. Feel free to drop names early and often—starting with your first email introduction to the investor. Brand name relationships build your credibility, but do not overstate them if they are tenuous.Use-cases:RunaAutomated real-time online offers - monitors and analyzes shopper behavior on web, and then makes each shopper a personalized offerInfochimps helps Runa configure and manage their entire production system, including Hadoop, HBase, messaging, monitoring, and more.

- Slide 3: Solution.What specifically are you offering to whom? Software, hardware, services, a combination? Use common terms to state concretely what you have, or what you do, that solves the problem you’ve identified. Avoid acronyms and don’t try to use these precious few words to create and trademark a bunch of terms that won’t mean anything to most people, and don’t use this as an opportunity to showcase your insider status and facility with the idiomatic lingo of the industry. If you can demonstrate your solution (briefly) in a meeting, this is the place to do it.Slide 3.1: Delivering the Solution.You might need an extra slide to show how your solution fits in the value chain or ecosystem of your target market. Do you complement commonly used technologies, or do you displace them? Do you change the way certain business processes get executed, or do you just do them the same way, but faster, better and cheaper? Do you disrupt the current value chain, or do you fit into established channels? Who exactly is the buyer, and is that person different than the user?
- Slide 7: Go to Market Strategy.The single most compelling slide in any pitch is a pipeline of customers and strategic partners that have already expressed some interest in your solution—if they haven’t already joined your beta program. Too often this slide is, instead, a bland laundry list of standard sales and marketing tactics. You should focus on articulating the non-obvious, potentially disruptive elements of your strategy. Even better, frame your comments in terms of the critical hurdles you need to get over, and how you are going to jump them. If you don’t have a pipeline, and there is nothing unique or innovative about your strategy, then drop this slide and make the elements of your sales model clear in the discussion of your business model (next slide).
