IBM is collaborating with a strong system of partners as it assists companies in the transformation from paper-based to digital workflow. To discuss this collaboration, Horwitz joined theCUBE (from the SiliconANGLE Media team) cohosts John Furrier (@jfurrier), cofounder and CEO of SiliconANGLE, and Peter Burris (@plburris), SiliconANGLE’s new chief research officer. The interview, which focused on open-source collaboration, took place during BigDataSV 2016 in San Jose, California, where theCUBE is celebrating #BigDataWeek, including news and events from the #StrataHadoop conference. Open-source collaboration is the key With data fueling the transformation to digital, Horowitz believes, “Anywhere there are paper-based processes is ripe for disruption.” This is why IBM has built a strong partner network that bridges the gaps for bringing companies to digital. Collaboration is the future, Horwitz said, and IBM’s Bluemix cloud platform enables this by offering Platform as a Service and bringing both existing and emerging technologies together to assist businesses in their cloud transformation. Will the eco-system outlive Hadoop? Burris asked Horwitz to comment on the discussion about if the ecosystems around Hadoop may last longer than Hadoop itself. Horwitz agreed this is a possibility, pointing out that the community is not just Hadoop and Spark experts, or even data-scientists. He sees a need to build applications that translate data science to non-data scientists. “The ecosystem is growing at incredible speed, and we’re trying to facilitate the conversation,” said Horowitz, directing the audience to visit community.spark.tc. @theCUBE #BigDataSV #StrataHadoop
