The term ‘Big Data’ has been widely discussed for the last few years now. And like every technology, the Big Data Technology too went through its adoption cycle beginning with some uncertainty around implementation and applications of the technology. Today however Big data is much more of a reality. A number of early adopters have adopted Big Data applications and in the next 10 to 12 months, the industry is expected to fully realize the potential of this technology.
AugmentIQ, a Pune based company that works in the area of Big Data has come up with a proprietary platform MAXIQ. The MAXIQ platform comes with an intelligent engine that transforms Business Analysts’ definition of data products into Big Data Applications – without the need of any specialized Big Data Technology knowledge & programming effort. Its open & extensible architecture enables the re-use of existing analytical assets & integration of specialized third party components.
While a number of Big Data applications work towards collating data from multiple sources and making sense of this data, what differentiates the MaXIQ platform is its ability to access the existing analytics applications and work in conjunction with these applications to create insights for organizations.With its pre-built connectors to various sources, as well as APIs to access external data, MAXIQ makes data ingestion very easy.
