BIG DATA: The Present Day Data Scientist

-

Careers in big data are fast on the rise, this is not a surprise, the surprise is the new data scientist, they are experts from the business and the computational sciences. Big data is open to all comers.
Movies like Moneyball, companies like Netflix and Statisticians like Nate Silver have brought big data into the focus. Provided with enough information and smarts, data experts can gain insights to help win baseball games on a budget, predict what we’d like to watch next and call the state outcomes for presidential elections.

Big data encompasses top gun statisticians or data scientists with heavy computational skills as well as people who can use cost benefits analysis tools and have deep business understanding about what can be done with the data which the data companies have access to.

A great Big Data Team must have management and leadership built within it. Big Data capabilities is not built on data scientists, you must also build compliance in dealing with change and complexities. Adopting a Big Data Strategy requires a good Big Data Team that can deal with both change and complexity. A good leader will work with data scientists to promote a culture of innovation; a good manager will remove data scientists from all the complexities and keep them on schedule.


Data volume is growing fast, however, data integration tools are not scalable enough to process such amount of data and thus more and more companies are thinking about starting Big Data projects diving into the Hadoop ecosystem projects, understanding terminology, learning MapReduce, Hive SQL, and Pig-Latin-thereby becoming more of a burden than a solution. Software vendors such as Talend (Talend Open Studio for Big Data) are trying to ease the deployment of Big Data by democratizing, the use of Apache Hadoop projects, through a set of graphical development and components which do not require the developer to be a Hadoop expert to kick off their project. Find here a complete training list of Big Data Integration Courses.
