Research: the heart that pumps data If you talk to any kid in school about how he acquires knowledge, he would say that is through studying.

Back in March 2012 I experienced an air milage overflow: almost straight from Madrid I’ve picked a flight to Israel to speak at a Big Data conference, only to be back in Lisbon and fly again to Johannesburg in South Africa to meet several customers in the retail and manufacturing area.

In times of hysteria people tend to use their reptilian brain. This sub-brain, that has been with us since we were fish, or tadpoles, it’s what kicks in when we face the unknown. In computer science or information technology, organizations tend to hold down to emotions and less and less in reasoning. Could it be [...]
The CIO Challenge If you have a budget and you need to decide on your company’s IT strategy for the next 3 to 5 years, you might have been drawn to this very same question: “Should I choose Best of Breed systems, or should I align with some vendor’s strategy taking the «vendor lock-in» risks [...]

The level of maturity and experiences in IT are so broad and so wide that these communication gaps tend to drive discussions to the realms of surrealism.

Not knowing, not controlling what is going to happen, or simply not being able to let go, it’s not possible for most people these days. So [...]
Last March 2012 I was in Tel-Aviv to present Oracle’s strategy on Big Data in a Techeads event. I had only 15 minutes! It was a challenge to speak for such a vast audience in Israel but the feedback was good and I’ve managed to shake the waters enough so people look at it from [...]
