IBM BigSheets: New data visualisation tool that discovers patterns we don't know we d

[admin]

IBM has jumped onto the data analysis and visualisation bandwagon and released a new tool called BigSheets which apparently doesn't only discover the normal correlations but also patterns that we don't know we don't know. Given it's IBM it's probably relatively solid and there's good thinking behind it but the visualisations showcased could be better if you ask me.

Broader data management - not simply database management - is required to keep pace with the escalation of untapped, unstructured web data. As the amount of this data approaches the petabyte level, new tools have been developed that allow your enterprise to expand upon current Business Intelligence capabilities to expose business patterns that have valuable strategic implications.

Massive mashups - or combinations of data from diverse sources into a single integrated tool (e.g. Google Maps) - provide business users with fresh perspectives of their industry. Such perspectives are made possible through the integration of structured data through a common web browser. But how does one deal with mashing together multiple gigabytes and terabytes - even petabytes - of unstructured data?
The IBM Emerging Internet Technologies group has evolved the key concepts from the mashups paradigm into a new tool code named: “Massive Mashups” (M2). But integrating petabytes of disparate data is more than just an added capability; it expands current Business Intelligence (BI) capabilities to expose business patterns that we don’t know we don’t know.
