As a boy growing up in the 1970s, I was fascinated in particular by dinosaurs. I knew all their names, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Diplodocus, Triceratops etc. And I could also remember in which geological time period they lived, and on which continent; and what they ate, often each other of course!

Reading the latest issue of Intelligence Quarterly magazine has really brought home to me the limits of our human brain and its selective processing. Think about it: visualise a London bus in your mind. Even though you see them every day or have at least seen pictures, are you able
In my last blog, I discussed the growing commitment among governors to infrastructure investment, and to coming up with innovative ways to find dollars to fund the needed improvements to the transportation network. I heard it over and over again during the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting in January

Wer kennt das nicht, diesen Gedanken auf der Autobahn, wenn man lauter rote Bremslichter sieht: Was wollen die alle ausgerechnet hier?! Dabei hat man doch selbst alles richtig gemacht im Vorfeld. Morgens früh aufgestanden. Wetterbericht kurz nochmal gecheckt. Grünes Licht: Blue Sky ist angesagt, Neuschnee über Nacht. Hinzu kommt: Kein
Die IT-Messe CeBit hat eines, die Hannover Messe hat es auch, also warum nicht das SAS Forum 2013: ein Leitthema. Etwas das den Kern der Veranstaltung aufnimmt und Orientierung schafft, den aktuellen Zeitgeist aufgreift und Impulse gibt, die über den eigentlichen Event hinausreichen. Ein Leitthema zeichnet sich aus als Thema zu dem man eine
Last night's Horizon programme entitled The Age of Big Data (BBC2) highlighted the ongoing explosion of information and how it is transforming the way we interact with the modern world.

My tenure there spanned the era of the $400 hammer and $700 toilet seat scandals in the military procurement world. While

I have been on a plane non-stop for four weeks travelling around Asia working with key customers looking to expand their analytics footprint. It's clear that analytics is no longer taking a back seat to business intelligence (BI). Customers I am talking to have squeezed as much value out of
Analytics klingt nach Mathestudium oder Informatik, zumindest aber etwas, das kompliziert ist, kaum jemand versteht und am Ende doch keiner wirklich braucht. Das war lange eine verbreitete Meinung – außerhalb der SAS-Community versteht sich. Mittlerweile haben auch die großen Marktbeobachter eingesehen, dass normales Business Intelligence zwar eine wichtige Grundlage ist,

“Culture eats strategy for breakfast”. If we’ve heard it once we’ve heard it a thousand times. I even wrote one of my early posts on this topic (“When metrics collide”). Consultants, analysts, academics and other thought leaders have examined and questioned its veracity, but still the consensus seems to be that
„Früher war alles besser!“ pflegen gerade Ältere immer wieder zu sagen. Da ich letztes Jahr die 40 überschritten habe, rutscht auch mir bisweilen dieser Satz raus. Was Datenvisualisierung betrifft, ist er allerdings definitiv falsch. Da ist nämlich heute alles besser.
"What do you do when you first get a data set that's a billion rows long?" asks SAS CEO Jim Goodnight. "You want to play around with it." At dozens of SAS events over the last year, audience attendees have watched Goodnight do just that, quickly grabbing 1.15 billion records, selecting
