For decades, all of the technologies that organizations used to measure and forecast their operations were a small niche in enterprise computing. That situation reversed itself a few years ago, and now the inevitable emergence of big data demands clear thinking and advice.
Bill Schmarzo is the real deal. He shares his experience and know-how freely in a book that lays it out without hype.
--Neil Raden, CEO & Principal Analyst, Hired Brains Research
Big Data offers good sense, practical guidance, and pragmatism in what is at present a confused, confusing, and overly theoretical area. Anyone venturing into the big data outback would do well to stick Bill's book in their backpack.

Bill is a leading voice in big data technology and the impact to business, and is referred to in the industry as 'the Dean of Big Data.' If you want the straight scoop on how and what to do with big data, read Bill's book.
