Wow, lots of juicy (and relevant) buzzwords in this post: big data, cloud, and even genome analysis and DNA sequencing. It’s almost as if the original article were written specific for the AIS audience — but it wasn’t. Caron Carlson of FierceCIO summarized the original piece by Bob Violino in Baseline. Emphasis in red added by me. Brian Wood, VP …
CMO vs. CIO Throwdown
Matt Mullen of 451 Research produced the article / analysis below discussing the much-hyped topic of whether marketing teams are starting to drive more organizational IT spending than traditional IT teams themselves. Speaking as a marketing guy: “Oh, were that the case!” Evidently my current and recent employers never got that memo. (Heh heh heh, just kidding, bosses) My favorite …
Big Data, Big Problems
Caron Carlson of FierceCIO noted the article below. Clearly there is a big opportunity for companies to get their arms around big data. Emphasis in red added by me. Brian Wood, VP Marketing ———— Study: Most big data projects are never completed Scope of big data initiatives is often underestimated Big data is often a big hassle, and new research …
Big Data, Big Potential for Big Problems
Data is not information — it is necessary but not sufficient. Raise that by a few orders of magnitude (i.e., big data) and it’s easy to come (quickly) to the wrong conclusions. Original article by Bob Lewis in InfoWorld. Emphasis in red added by me. Brian Wood, VP Marketing ———- Big data’s pitfall: Answers that are clear, compelling, and wrong …
DNA Big Data = Big Data DNA
This article reveals an interesting twist on the subject of big data and bioinformatics. Caron Carlson from FierceCIO picked up on an article by Ed Yong in Nature about using actual DNA to store big data. But don’t throw out those tapes and disks drive quite yet: at over $12K per MB to write and $220 to read, there’s still …
3D, High Definition Films: (Really) Big Data
Big data is a big deal, particularly when it comes to genomics and high definition films, particularly new 3D films such as The Hobbit. I picked up the FierceCIO post below about an article in Information Week by Jeff Bertolucci. These two excerpts pretty much sum up the situation: “Within the last five years, we’ve seen something in the order …
Big Data Heart Hadoop
I picked up this post from FierceBiotech IT about a story by Chris Kanaracus in Computerworld regarding Hadoop and its use in big data applications (such as genomics). Emphasis in red added by me. Brian Wood, VP Marketing ————- Hadoop will be in most advanced analytics products by 2015, Gartner says Expect plenty of uptake for natural language and vocal command …
The Real Value of Genomics in Medicine
The following article by Ryan McBride from FierceBiotechIT shines a light on an area of science that has gotten a LOT of hype — and seemingly deservedly so. Bottom line: yes, indeed, genomics rocks. Read the article and its source material (both below) to see for yourself. We at AIS are certainly in the genomics sequencing camp. In fact, we …
Illumina, Life Technologies, Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics is hot, and firms partnering / collaborating on bioinformatics is even hotter. The FierceBiotechIT article below — and the source article from Bio-IT World — recount what two of the main players (Illumina and Life Technologies, both based in San Diego) are doing in the space. Check out our own ClearCompute Software as a Service (SaaS) offering to understand …
Big Data, Big Pharma, Smart Analysis…and ClearCompute
The article below by Ryan McBride from FierceBiotech IT covers an original piece from Guy Cavet of Kaggle in Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News (GEN). We at AIS agree that bioinformatics is transforming the nature of genetic and pharmaceutical research — which is why we launched AIS ClearCompute to empower bioinformatics scientists to do their work in an affordable, secure, …
