How Banks Leverage Big Data with MongoDB
Learn why financial services companies have adopted MongoDB at an unprecedented pace. This two-hour workshop will focus on how banks use MongoDB to aggregate, analyze and manage risk within groups and . . . across the firm.

We will explore how banks use MongoDB’s rich query and aggregation capabilities to assess risk exposure across asset classes and counterparties in real-time and overnight capacities. We will also explore other ways the leading banks are leveraging MongoDB to cut costs, increase time to market and ease of scale. read more

Data: the Key to the Internet of Things
Rich Radka, Founder of Claro Partners, will present insights developed from two of Claro’s recent projects around the Personal Data Economy and the Internet of Things. Focused on the impact at both . . .a societal and business level, the result is a clear point of view about the real value within these big shifts when designing new services.
The abundant trails of data exhaust that our daily online interactions create are leading to a big data boom. However, contrary to the WEF’s assertion that data is the new oil, we’ll talk about why we believe that the real opportunity of personal data is in providing services that make sense to people in their own context. The value of data is at a human scale.
These transactions create real-time streams of data that will only multiply as our physical environment increasingly becomes part of the web. Each internet-connected object will provide new ways for us to interact with it, other things, people and businesses. And, rather than simply being passively connected, these objects will form part of a dynamic network brought alive through data.
Rich will explore the growing potential of these areas during a 45-minute presentation, followed by questions and discussion, then networking over drinks. read more

Will customers kill off big data?
Brands are starting to explore the potential they can get from social media data, and from combining it with their own enterprise data. As more people use more tools to communicate online the amount o . . .f unstructured data continues to grow and the the focus has turned to models and analysis tools to capitalise on this.
However, as well as sharing more information, consumers are taking increasing ownership of their own data online; becoming more savvy about privacy and about what they share with whom. Brands that use their information without their permission face a consumer backlash.
To make the most of the big social data opportunity firstly, we need to develop the models that will help us make sense of it all. Most importantly, we need to work out how to ensure the consumer gives us permission to gain the insights and statistics we want or watch our big data ambitions disappear.
Join us during Big Data Week 2013 for breakfast and a debate to discuss the ways brands need to behave in social to make sure that consumers don’t kill off their big data ambitions. read more

“Storm + Trident and The Holistic Architecture: Using Hadoop for batch and Storm for real time” by Yodit Stanton, Freelance Data Scientist, Developer & Systems Architect.
Computing arbitrary functions on an arbitrary dataset in real time is a daunting problem. There is no single tool that provides a complete solution. Instead, you have to use a variety of tools and techniques to build a complete Big Data system. A Holistic Architecture may solve the problem of computing arbitrary functions on arbitrary data in real time by decomposing the problem into three layers: the batch layer, the serving layer, and the speed layer read more

Data as Culture
In an age of data-driven decision-making, we are led to believe that data represents truth. Simultaneously our collective data shadows are revealing details about our personal lives, social groups, co . . .rporate interactions, and civic society.
Gavin Starks, CEO of the Open Data Institute, will take us through some of the questions these changes lead to. Whose data are we trusting? Who wrote the algorithm? Who wrote the code? What are the unexpected consequences of combining different data? If our personal, business, and political decisions are shaped by these data, is there dogma in the code? What culture(s) are being created? read more
“Dashboard Machines”: Using Big Data to lead change in big organisations
Introduction to the “Dashboard Machine” concept, the new technology used for “Data Mapping” in some UN Agencies.
Our smart methodology allows “mapping” and visualisation of all organisation ca . . .tegories: Country, Product Category, Client, etc…
With turnovers higher than 1 billion US$, and with databases of 500,000 rows x 100 columns or more (per year) in each of the Agencies, our methodology allows them to see every detail at all desired levels.
This system can be used in any organisation with Big Data where strategy is missing. Huge savings and great sense of direction will be the inmediate result after adopting our reporting system. We would be pleased to meet you at our online event. Hurry up, limited audience! read more
