Democratization of Data Platforms

Jonathan Gosier (metaLayer Inc.)

8:50am Thursday, 03/01/2012

Keynote

Location: Mission City Ballroom

Big data isn’t just an abstract problem for corporations, financial firms, and tech companies. To your mother, a ‘big data’ problem might simply be too much email, or a lost file on her computer.

We need to democratize access to the tools used for understanding information by taking the hard-work out of drawing insight from excessive quantities of information. To help humans process content more efficiently and to help them capture more of their world.

Tools to effectively do this need to be visual, intuitive, and quick. This talk looks at some of the data visualization platforms that are helping to solve big data problems for normal people.
