“Data beats emotions” – Sean Rad founder of Tinder
Despite the fact that every business likes to take decisions based on data; emotions, sentiments; Gut feel has a big role to play. It was not because data was not available, but mostly because not ALL the data was processed. Outcomes or inferences were based on sample data and hence could be doubted. Statistical methods were deployed to make sense to the sample data, which were a matter of debate and led to different opinions.
But with the emergence of new approach to database design, great strides in processing capabilities, storage systems to store vast amount of data and ability to capture dynamic nature of data enabled the businesses to have insight based on ALL the data which not only finds trends and relations but gives predictive analysis. The new reality is that “More data beats better algorithm”. This is what is the crux of big data trend.
I have talked about this ‘big data’ trend in last few newsletters and customers have asked me, “So, what is Ashnik going to do about it”. Well, we have not just talked about it, but we have taken concrete steps to bring Big Data solutions for our customers. We, at Ashnik are extremely delighted to announce our partnership with MongoDB.
