  • Big Analytics: Transforming Big Data Into Meaningful Information
    By Serhiy Haziyev, VP of Software Architecture, SoftServe Big Analytics: Transforming Big Data into Meaningful Information Thanks to widely adopted smart devices and the proliferation of cloud computing and SaaS business models, there’s never been a time when more is known about the behaviors and habits of customers, employees, patients, and stakeholders. We’re creating and storing more data than ever about every conceivable aspect of business and leisure. These vast volumes of data are the outcome of ongoing advancements in computing and data warehousing technologies, driven by an ever increasing wired and online population. The result is Big Data. Big Data attracts great interest across organizations and industries because of its potential used to derive greater understanding of past and present events to predict the future and prescribe actions to create desired outcomes. But Big Data alone can’t achieve these things; having the data isn’t enough. This is where analytics enters the discussion. Analytics are mathematic and statistic models used to gain insights to past, present, and future events through the analysis of data. Similar to Big Data having marginal use as a standalone solution, analytics has marginal use until its advanced models are applied to volumes of data. Analytics feeds on large volumes of data to create highly insightful and reliable information. Big Data and Advanced Analytics need each other to achieve great things. Big Analytics: Transforming Big Data into Meaningful Information 1 The Power of Big Analytics Big Data and Advanced Analytics combine to form Big Analytics; capturing and transforming vast amounts of data into meaningful and highly useful information to create more impactful decisions, actions, and outcomes: Retail.

  • CEE IT Outsourcing Review 2010
    Introduction ‘Central and Eastern Europe IT Outsourcing Review’ is a research project undertaken annually by the Central and Eastern European Outsourcing Association (CEEOA, www.ceeoa.org) since 2007. The main objectives of the research are to provide impartial and varied perspectives on the state of the market for IT outsourcing services in the CEE region; to provide potential clients with all the information needed to make decisions about outsourcing activities to the region; and to lower the barriers for entry into the CEE outsourcing services market. This year’s ‘CEE IT Outsourcing Review 2010’ was managed by the Ukrainian Hi-Tech Initiative (www.hi- tech.org.ua) with the support of other national outsourcing and software development associations from the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region, as well as CEEOA members. As part of the project a catalogue of IT outsourcing services providers in Central and Eastern Europe (ITOlist), located at www.itolist.eu, was created. The primary objective of the ITOlist.eu catalogue is to create an easy to search permanent, annually updated, regional catalogue of companies providing IT outsourcing services in the CEE region. Currently, the ITOlist.eu catalogue contains information on more than 200 companies. Visitors to the site can search companies on the list by four criteria, as well as by more than 250 technical and business categories in the advanced search field. Key Conclusions In 2009, the software development and IT outsourcing services provider industry in Central and Eastern Europe successfully overcame all of the challenges of the recession of 2008 and resumed its previous trajectory of growth.
