The Big Deal about Big Data Analytics
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.

Thanks all for making this ITEXPO collocated show a success as well - there are wall to wall people - everywhere. It looks like Startup Camp Communications edition is a huge hit. We are currently listening to (and enjoying greatly) keynote speaker Jeff Bonforte - and Larry Lisser kicked the event off. Here is a photo - and the room filled much more after the start of the conference. Thanks again for attending.

October 4, 2010
I met with Marc Fribush at ITEXPO and we discussed their hosted Asterisk offering. I met Marc previously at TMC Days, when several VoIP and telecom companies visited TMC's offices. It's an impressive product. In about 60s you can "spin up" your very own virtualized hosted copy of Asterisk.

Earlier I showed you how Smart Grid Summit is standing room only with wall-to-wall attendees devouring information. Now, I just happened upon the simultaneous 4G Wireless Evolution (4GWE) conference and CDMA Development Group sessions and they were packed as well with a need for more chairs. Thanks all for coming to ITEXPO and the collocated events to make them so successful.
