The Big Deal about Big Data Analytics

By Peter Bernstein on Tuesday, Jun 18

By Greg Owens, Senior Director Customer Experience Solutions Marketing, Alcatel-Lucent

The rise of big data is causing service providers to ask some big questions: How should we store our data? How long should we keep it? What parts of it are relevant to our business? Most importantly, how do we get value from it? To turn big data into a big deal, service providers need to extract insights that can help them make smart business decisions and improve the customer experience.

The value of big data is all in what useful and actionable information it can provide. I find it exciting to see how service providers use big data analytics to gain new insights and solve complex problems. With this post, I’ll look at some new research by industry analysts and three key opportunities that big data analytics presents to service providers.

Body Painting Crossed Line at CES?

January 14, 2013

Remember the CES trend I cited last week about hot DJs and body painting? Well it seems at least one of these items may have crossed the line – and I’ll give you a hint, it has nothing to do with music. You see there is a backlash taking place over Hyper’s use of women as “sex objects” at the recent 2013 CES. The reality is however that sex sells.

CES: Sharp Shows Off 8K TV Prototype

January 11, 2013

Just when you thought 4K television or Ultra HD was the most impressive technology to hit your living room, Sharp shows off an 85" 8K TV with breathtaking video quality. I estimated to a company representative that it would cost $55,000 and he suggested it would be even more if it was even available today. Suffice it to say it will be some years before you will see one at Best Buy.

Here at CES 2013 there is a trend towards hot female DJs instead of or in addition to booth babes as well as body painting and logo tattoos on booth personnel. The fight to get the attention of attendees gets tougher each year it seems.

FERRARI by Logic3 At CES

January 8, 2013

Here at CES 2013 at the FERRARI by Logic3 booth I checked out the Cavallino GT 1 Air, a 350W all-in-one sound system which shook the convention center with its rich and powerful sound. This thing gives Bose and B&W a run for its money. Ferrari not included.

Avicii Makes CES Splash

January 8, 2013

As a huge fan of both telecom and electronic dance music or EDM the news that one of the EDM legends, DJ Avicii has teamed with Ericsson on a crowdsourced project which takes bassline, effects, melody, rhythms and vocals from you the public and turns it into a song. Ericsson will support this Avicii x You initiative using its experience in the cloud and of course wireless. For Avicii, this deal raises his profile further to a more "techie" crowd and probably pays pretty well. For Ericsson, they get to be associated with hip and new music and can leverage this proof of concept into other areas.

A Larger iPhone - Apple Will HAVE to Listen Now

January 8, 2013

Sometimes I feel like a broken record MP3 player but when you know you are right and you are a student of history, you see the mistakes companies make before they do. On July 8th of 2010 I told you that larger Android devices would be a threat to Apple. The point was that Apple is repeating its mistake from the eighties where it had its own hardware competing against many manufacturers. At the time price/performance was the Achilles heel of Cupertino but now the challenge is not only price/performance but form factor.
