Data Drift Happens: 7 Pesky Problems with People Data - InformationWeek
Attend this webinar to learn how you can determine which threats pose the greatest danger to your Making sense of data associated with customers, citizens and other individuals may seem simple, but it's possible that the records don't tell the real story. People are like snowflakes. No two are alike.
How Santa uses data quality to wrap up Christmas - The Data Roundtable
"Two weeks to go," Santa said to himself, with millions of toys stacked up on the shelves. Each year worry hit at the same time – "How do I get the right toy to the right child without losing my mind?" Though Old St. Nick didn't have a computer science degree, deep down he knew he was talking about data quality. Verify those addresses to reduce mailing costs, optimize delivery routes to save the reindeer from frost.
3 Thanksgiving lessons about data warehouses, Hadoop and self-service data prep - The Data Roundtable
It's that time of year again where almost 50 million Americans travel home for Thanksgiving. We'll share a smorgasbord of turkey, stuffing and vegetables and discuss fun political topics, all to celebrate the ironic friendship between colonists and Native Americans. Being part Italian, my family augments the 20-pound turkey with pasta – more specifically, cavatelli (pronounced "cav-a-deal"). And, being part Swedish, we add Swedish meatballs to the fray.
SAS ODPi Interoperability helps reduce risk, simplify testing, accelerate development on Hadoop
Just in time for the Strata + Hadoop World Conference, SAS has become the first software vendor to achieve ODPi Interoperability with our Base SAS® and SAS/ACCESS® Interface to Hadoop products. Now, that's a lot to digest – so let me back up a second and give some background as to what this means and why it's important. These are exciting times in the world of open software. Apache Hadoop – with its disruptive, low-cost storage and processing capabilities – has taken the world by storm.

Wheat rust. You may have never heard of it, but in a matter of days, this fast-moving, silent-killing plant disease can completely annihilate a critical wheat farm in Ethiopia. Wheat rust’s newest nemeses? A legion of volunteer superheroes in the Data for Good movement. When ... Read More
What can a garage storage system, kayak and surfboard teach you about data modernization? - The Data Roundtable
Two years ago, I found myself the proud, first-time owner of a garage. My wife and I quickly started to add new items to the garage – a battery-powered lawn mower, two beach cruisers and four Tommy Bahama beach chairs. They were stored with ease. What a fantastic world I'd been missing out on. But it wasn't long before we outstripped our existing garage storage system's (GSS) capacity by adding new items like a surfboard, soccer goals and kid bikes.
In search of the Holy Grail: Sorry Hadoop fans, only MDM delivers single view of customer
Single view of customer. It's a noble goal, not unlike the search for the Holy Grail – fraught with peril as you progress down the path of your data journey. If you're a hotelier, it can improve your customer's experience by providing the information from the casinos and the spa at check-in to better meet your customer's needs. If you're sending out marketing fliers, it can reduce mailing costs by providing a clean list of customer addresses.
Can SAS Data Management get you to soccer on time?
Imagine it's Soccer Saturday. You've got 10 kids and 10 loads of laundry – along with buried soccer jerseys – that you need to clean before the games begin. Oh, and you have two hours to do this. Fear not! You are a member of an advanced HOA (Home Owner Association) that provides an agile and flexible washing machine architecture (we'll call it AWA for Agile Washing Architecture) to improve the productivity of all your neighbors.
Simplify, secure and speed data access with data virtualization
Every few months, another vendor claims one environment will replace all others. We know better. What usually happens is an elongated state of coexistence between traditional technology and the newer, sometimes disruptive one. Eventually, one technology sinks into obsolescence, but it usually takes much longer than we expect. Think of TV and radio – or podcasts and radio – and how they've coexisted for years.
Self-service data preparation transforms data professionals
When my band first started and was in need of a sound system, we bought a pair of cheap yet indestructible Peavey speakers, some Radio Shack microphones and a power mixer. The result? We sounded awful and often split our ear drums from high-pitched feedback and raw, untrained vocals. It took us years of practicing and playing out before we stepped up to the right gear – a Mackie 808s power mixer, a pair of 15" Community speakers and a Shure Beta 58 microphone.

As a youngster in the 70s and 80s, Star Trek inspired my imagination and fostered a great love for science, technology and reading.
SAS Data Management does big data integration, metadata
Now that another summer of 12-hour family road-trips to Maine and Ohio, pricey engineering and basketball camps for the kids, and beating the heat at the beach are over, I've taken a fresh look at what people are focused on with their data – and what SAS is providing in the data management space. First of all, "metadata bridges" isn't Jeff Bridges younger brother. HAWQ isn't an acronym derived from the military-industrial complex.
Self-Service Big Data Preparation in the Age of Hadoop
In April, the free trial of SAS Data Loader for Hadoop became available globally. Now, you can take a test drive of our new technology designed to increase the speed and ease of managing data within Hadoop. The downloads might take a while (after all, this is big data), but I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how quickly you can manipulate data on Hadoop distributions (offered by our partners Hortonworks and Cloudera).
