You’ve got two weeks: Proving value quickly with a connected data platform or why you should never discuss cool ideas near your manager

Showing the value of processing with a connected data platform at the core of your business doesn’t have to take months. At Hortonworks, we regularly get challenges from clients like “How can I run predictive models of transaction fraud in realtime?” or “Can you do two-way control of my IoT sensors from edge to core?”. Inevitably we’ll discuss ideas over a few beers, and someone will come up with something interesting enough to be told: “Sounds great, you’ve got two weeks”.

In a practical, demo-focused session, we’ll look at two use cases we recently presented to clients:
  • RealTime Transaction Fraud Prevention: Combining Spark ML, Storm, Zeppelin & mobile banking
  • PiWiNiFi: Raspberry Pi’s, Nifi, Spark Streaming, and Solr for an automated sensor network
