While big data presents a significant opportunity, it is not without its own set of challenges. It comprises a relatively new stack of technologies that is fairly complex to learn, there is limited tooling to fuel adoption and development, and there is a lack of knowledgeable big data resources available.

This resource explores an open source approach and flexible big data integration platform that addresses these challenges and enables users to easily connect and analyze data from disparate systems to help drive and improve business performance.

Also included are the four key pillars to a big data management solution, which include:

• Big data integration
• Big data manipulation
• Big data quality
• And big data project management and governance.
