Big Data and the PI System, Part 1
Big Data is a mega-trend that is all over the technology news, promising to help companies turn data into dollars. Come and learn more about the landscape of big data tools and how the PI System fits into this rapidly evolving ecosystem. We will highlight several customers who are using big data tools now to discover new insights and make better decisions. We will also demonstrate how big data tools from partners SAP and Microsoft can integrate real-time sensor-based operational data from the PI System with data throughout the enterprise, delivering an infrastructure for continuous improvement.
