It was a case of good timing for two companies cashing in on big trends in the technology industry. Investors associate data-visualization player Tableau with big data, but company co-founder Christian Chabot says the company addresses data of any size.

As more devices become Internet-enabled--everything from field sensors to set-top TV boxes to home thermostats--the time has come for enterprises to implement IoT principles to gain greater insights into their operations. Big Data Finds 'Zombie Stores' There are essentially two types of zombie stores: "The zombie stores which are essentially dead, like many of the malls in America. They're in the wrong place, they've got the wrong tenants and they're not relevant to the consumers' expectations of today," said Simon Thompson, director of commercial solutions for Esri. "And then there are stores which are ... on profit life support. They're not doing anywhere near as well as they could."

NASA Polar Ice Flyover: One Bumpy Big Data Project The Earth's polar regions aren't particularly hospitable to computers or humans. Building an advanced data management and storage system--one that operates on bumpy flights in frigid weather, no less--can be a formidable task. Did You Really Buy A Snowmobile? Big Data Knows Have you ever charged something expensive--and perhaps out of the ordinary for you--only to have the transaction rejected by the bank? Not only do these "false positives" annoy consumers, they worry credit card issuers, who fear their customers might switch to a competitor's card. | JOIN THE CONVERSATION Posted By Tony Kontzer: "The most exciting thing about the Internet of Things is the promise of devices to broadcast their various indicators (location, operational levels, mechanical status, physical condition, etc.) via social media feeds. This is the vision of companies like GE, which wants to establish social networks around things like jet engines, which customers, designers, engineers and anyone with a vested interest can then 'follow.'"

That's true of data, especially in light of the fact that collecting and storing it isn't cheap. It would make sense, then, for companies to try to wring more value out of the data resident in their systems. MetLife Uses NoSQL For Customer Service Breakthrough By Doug Henschen Developing an integrated customer view has been on the wish list at insurance giant MetLife for at least 10 years, but it recently took a fresh approach to the challenge by choosing a NoSQL database as the platform for bringing together data from more than 70 separate administrative systems, claims systems, and other data sources.

Research: 2013 IT Spending Priorities Survey
When IT is seen as just a cost center, the business loses. Yet many CIOs are barely keeping their budgets flat; some must even absorb cuts. It's hard to innovate when you're scraping to pay for basic security.

Overall, the picture is grim: 58 percent have improving security on their project lists for this year, compared with just 24 percent who are aiming to build or enhance an analytics, business intelligence, or decision-support system. Many, 43 percent, say their 2013 budgets will remain about the same as in 2012, while most of the 39 percent seeing increases will get less than a 10 percent boost.
