Big Data is not just a buzz-phrase at ADP (where data is literally their middle name). This organization must store, process and analyze massive and ever growing volumes of data on a daily basis. In this dynamic presentation, Roberto Masiero, VP of ADP’s Innovation Lab, will share how ADP is tackling the Big Data challenge, specifically through the use of some open source technologies. In this presentation, learn how open source technologies, such as MongoDB and Hadoop, are changing the big data equation at ADP. Roberto will detail how open source has aided ADP’s ability to work in a multi-tenancy environment in the cloud -- and what’s on the horizon for these fast-growing open source platforms and for Big Data in general in the ADP landscape.

Big Data can't be achieved without a significant investment in data scientists and capital, at least that's the impression of this hot tech area. Many would argue that Big Data has a steep learning curve and is a difficult space to enter. But according to the lessons from Experian Marketing Services, it is possible to jump into Big Data and to create a meaningful product and customer strategy without adding additional staff. In this insightful case study full of real examples, Emad Georgy, Head of Technology for Data Management Services of Experian Marketing Services - North America, will detail how transformations to people, process, and technology led to a production-ready strategy, meeting the needs of some of their top retail clients. Using Hadoop and Hbase among other technologies, and using an agile development process, Experian Marketing Services is undergoing a technology transformation aimed at getting the most from Big Data. Attendees will learn how Experian retrained existing staff to accomplish this Big Data transformation and lessons learned in design, development, testing and operations for a successful Big Data project.
