Microsoft\u2019s Big Data vision remains the same: Bring Big Data to the Masses. Big Data isn\u2019t just for next-generation social media companies — it\u2019s for any company that wants to harness the power of information to gain a sustainable competitive advantage. With more and more data available in today\u2019s world, not taking advantage of information means lost opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re attending Strata-Hadoop World next week, please stop by booth #37 and attend one of our sessions, where we\u2019ll be handing out great prizes (including Microsoft Surface tablets and Xbox 360 Kinect bundles):<\/span><\/p>\n Session #1: <\/span>Drive Smarter Decisions with Microsoft Big Data<\/span><\/a> (October 24 1:40pm EST)<\/span><\/p>\n Session #2: <\/span>Letting More Developers Dance with Elephants<\/span><\/a> (October 24 2:30pm EST)<\/span><\/p>\n Session #3: <\/span>Predictive Modeling and Operational Analytics over Streaming Data<\/span><\/a> (October 25 @4:10pm EST)<\/span><\/p>\n If you aren\u2019t able to make it to Strata-Hadoop World this year, we\u2019ll have a live Tweet stream during our first session for @SQLServer<\/a> followers (October 24 beginning at 1:40pm EST).<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, we\u2019re excited to return in force to the Strata-Hadoop World conference next week in New York. We\u2019ve made great strides in putting together an enterprise-ready Big Data solution, and we can\u2019t wait to share our progress.<\/span><\/p>\n
