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

Nice to see we are getting some members joining from New Zealand. To introduce myself, I am the Managing Direct of Infoready who are a boutique consultancy that specialise in Information Management in particular CI, BI and Data Management. My particular specialisation is in technology / applications, solutions and process to enable Information Management (focussing mainly on CI at the moment). A few of us in the CI domain are currently trying to up our CI community in Australia and New Zealand so we can all help each other implement and operate world class CI functions. I also have a keen interest and lots of experience in Telco's in Australia. Let me know if there is anything I can help you out with. I would also be keen to hear about the CI function at Telecom NZ, and what software or technologies you use.
