Cathy Heath said… - Hi Babette,
Yes, I am intending to get to Aussie at some stage next year for a holiday, but could easily work that around an Art of Analysis III or Wargaming course! There's also a potential big CI project on the boil tho, and I think it may be beneficial if I pop over and have a chat with you if it goes ahead too.
Yes, I'd love to join the Women in CI group, so have signed up.
Thanks,
Cathy

Walter,
I can answer this one. Ok, first "big data" players usually means HP, Oracle, SAP, IBM. These firms are extraordinarily good at handling structured data (ie numbers) in relational databases, but they don't deal well with unstructured data,…
Oh, they are doing CI, lots of it, but they call it other things, like Data mining e.g. They solve many of the same problems but from an engineering perspective

I've been turning this one over and can't find a satisfactory explanation.
Why don't we see more 'big data' players doing CI consulting. It seems to me that companies like Google, with absurdly comprehensive environmental data, doing more to move…
Hey Eric,
