Bruno Aziza, Chief Marketing Officer with Alpine Data Labs, sat down with John Furrier and Dave Vellante at Big Data NYC 2013 to talk about Big Data-related issues and the surprising women in tech. One of their Ignite Talks is called "Why women make better data scientists".
Alpine Data Labs focuses on advanced analytics on Hadoop and big data. Aziza believes that the advanced analytics market hasn't progressed that much over the last 30 years, and it's his company's goal to make those analytics available on the web, with enhancements such as drag and drop that allow performing "complex math using simple tools."
"We run all that on Hadoop, we send instructions to your data source and your data environment so you don't have to deal with issues like data extraction or moving data around to analyze it."
Industry dynamics
Having witnessed four Hadoop World events already, Furrier seemed to perceive BigData NYC as "the confluence of business meeting technology."
For Aziza, the New York gathering represents the flagship event, indicating exactly what's going on with the customers in financial services, healthcare and manufacturing.
"They are really starting to get a sense it's all about the business," Aziza said. "They've invested in this data platform environment, and now we need to get to the line of business and provide solutions for this data platform. I think 2014 is going to be the year of the big data applications. They are going to explode, and I think this is great timing, because everyone's ready for that."
Moving from SightSense to Alpine
Furrier asked Aziza to explain the reason he went to work with Alpine. "There's a lot of innovation and great technology; the technology is insane in terms of how it's helping customers," said Aziza. "SightSense was disruptive in the memory world; Alpine is disruptive in the advance analytics world. That is going to be the next hot thing."
Moving on to debate why women are better data scientists, Aziza admitted that "there's a lot of prejudice in this profession. However, it turns out that there's more women than any other IT field involved in data science and they actually end up making more money than men. When it comes to data science -- according to the data -- woman is the future of the man here."
Expectations
"The big guys are bound to make announcements that are going to drive the rest of the ecosystem to think about what are they interested in doing up next," explained Aziza. Right now, "analytics is the killer app of the big data."
