Mobile Custom Apps and the Era of Big Data Are Upon Us

April 11, 2016 by miawebadmin

More and more mammoths from the brick-and-mortar era, like Marriott and other companies, are adopting NoSQL policy for their critical operations and going for cloud computing of their data in 2016.

With Windows 10 being a predecessor (or a beta version, which will be massively updated in the future) of an online OS, Android preparing their counterpart for Windows 10 based on Chrome, Spark conquering new horizons and cloud hosting becoming more and more functional and popular day by day.
Software future trends are firmly within the cloud. Just analyze the job listings: whenever you see any big company involved in software development hiring – they state: “cloud experience would be an advantage.” Make the conclusions yourself.
Many latest software development trends show the same picture: we need to do everything real-time. Not only data analytics; processing requests from customers and interacting with suppliers, changing the entire way your business works will begin next year.
Some system analysts predicted such change some time ago, as mobile shopping and communication transformed the way we spend time and money, which will inevitably lead to transforming the way people do business.

The process will not take place at once, of course, as the full result will be seen over several years – yet it’s up to you to stick to the right course of development – and become the next Zuckerberg, maybe?

We encourage you to dial up an experienced partner who can see your data and planning analytics priorities and opportunities from a different and wider perspective. If you see you’re getting bogged down and behind your rapid deployment objectives curve, just email or call us at 512-478-3848. We can listen to understand your needs.

And we could very well be a great match to partner with you and catapult you up to the top of your big-data scaling up process, custom applications deployment and business intelligence wave. Give us a look and ask for our new success stories.

What is a NoSQL (Not Only SQL) Database?

December 31, 2015 by miawebadmin

For 2016 and beyond, the forecast is for data access “as needed”.

From a business standpoint, considering a NoSQL or ‘Big Data’ environment has been shown to provide a clear competitive advantage in numerous industries. In the ‘age of data’, this is compelling information as a great saying about the importance of data is summed up with the following “if your data isn’t growing then neither is your business.”

A NoSQL database environment is, simply put, a non-relational and largely distributed database system that enables rapid, ad-hoc organization and analysis of extremely high-volume, disparate data types. NoSQL databases are sometimes referred to as cloud databases, non-relational databases, Big Data databases and a myriad of other terms and were developed in response to the sheer volume of data being generated, stored and analyzed by modern users (user-generated data) and their applications (machine-generated data).

In general, NoSQL databases have become the first alternative to relational databases, with scalability, availability, and fault tolerance being key deciding factors. They go well beyond the more widely understood legacy, relational databases (such as Oracle, SQL Server and DB2 databases) in satisfying the needs of today’s modern business applications. A very flexible and schema-less data model, horizontal scalability, distributed architectures, and the use of languages and interfaces that are “not only” SQL typically characterize this technology.

Analytics and Business Intelligence

A key strategic driver of implementing a NoSQL database environment is the ability to mine the data that is being collected so as to derive insights that puts your business at a competitive advantage. Extracting meaningful business intelligence from very high volumes of data is a very difficult task to achieve with traditional relational database systems. Modern NoSQL database systems not only provide storage and management of business application data but also deliver integrated data analytics that deliver instant understanding of complex data sets and facilitate flexible decision-making.

We can get you off to a hot, fast start in 2016. Our teams can help you extract, transform and load (ETL Plus* or unbundled) your data into meaningful sets, mobilize and monitor your predictive BI priorities, trends, measure progress toward a set of quantitative goals, flag shifts in your markets or financial operations and even lift your customer experiences to a higher level. Whew, that’s saying a lot. Or is that just what you needed to hear?
