Q9: How do you plan to evolve your initial investment in #BigData? #IBMDataChat
@PNW_SmartGrid #IBMDataChat Is higher ed the place to find "domain experts" in
smart grid, or are they in the biz world, or both?
@PNW_SmartGrid #IBMDataChat Great. I'd like to see where you go with Streams tech in your
smart grid as you implement.
@bbrownrdu #IBMDataChat When you say "statistical backgrounds only," do you
mean Statistics/Math majors, or MBA, econometrics, etc too?
New one: Q8: Did your
personnel need to enhance their technical skillsets and certifications to get
started with #BigData? #IBMDataChat
@bbrownrdu #IBMDataChat What specific #BigData skills are you looking for when you recruit in the
universities?
@bbrownrdu Is that NCSU with the country's first master's in advanced

@bbrownrdu #IBMDataChat Are you recruiting smart data scientists out of universities to
help in your #BigData initiatives? Internships?
@PNW_SmartGrid #IBMDataChat Are "apps" on "devices" you refer to as

partners?
@bbrownrdu #IBMDataChat Very smart! To the extent that you can optimize each contact
(call, portal visit,etc), you streamline campaign mgt
@PNW_SmartGrid #IBMDataChat Good to hear that you optimized your #BigData vendor selection strategy perfectly ;-)
Anybody on this chat: To
what extent are chief marketing officers (CMOs) driving your #BigData initiatives? #IBMDataChat
@bbrownrdu #IBMDataChat Great. Essentially, optimizing the entire call to boost ROI
& customer satisfaction in one fell swoop.
@PNW_SmartGrid #IBMDataChat Having the proverbial "blank slate" on this #BigData project, what tech approaches did you evaluate?
@PNW_SmartGrid #IBMDataChat Totally fascinating. Optimization of transactive control tech
is essential to "smart" part of "smart grid"
New one: Q6: Did you
implement #BigData as enhancement to existing data analytics plat, or through
entirely new infrastructure? #IBMDataChat

scientists in R&D? #IBMDataChat
RT @IBMurphyatDI: #IBMdatachat How are companies training their own staff to deal with new big
data problems?
@PNW_SmartGrid #IBMDataChat Transaction processing? You mean ACID transactions? Or
something different?
Next.....Q5: How did you
make the business justification for your initital #BigData project? #IBMDataChat
@PNW_SmartGrid #IBMDataChat Event data. I see. Event data analysis is often core of many
infrastructure optimization #bigdata initiatives
@bbrownrdu #IBMDataChat Assessing the relevancy of data sources/types for correlation

caller routing in call center?

your #BigData? #IBMDataChat
@jmancini77 Your defintion of "big content" falls squarely under
"3Vs" defintion of #bigdata, in V=variety. but good question #IBMDataChat
@bbrownrdu #IBMDataChat We often call that scenario "next best offer.' How soon is
"long term" in your plans?
@PNW_SmartGrid #IBMDataChat Sounds like extraordinarily varied and volume-intensive
analysis. Do you do real-time analysis of climate data?
#IBMDataChat I can see Q1 tweets that you were anticipating Q2: Trident
drivers are customer retention, etc.; PNNL are smart grid
@bbrownrdu Wow! 50x growth in 7 years. Do you expect #BigData growth in next 7 years to be as fast, faster, not so fast?
@PNW_SmartGrid #IBMDataChat So you're in the planning stages for your first #BigData initiative? What drove this particular project?
@PNW_SmartGrid #IBMDataChat. How big was your #bigdata initiative in the 90s? Has that same infrastructure
grown/scaled over time?
@bbrownrdu Is this your first #bigdata project, or have you used a #bigdata appliance or other platform on prior projects? #IBMDataChat

I think
"BYOD-friendly" should mean more than simply "absence of any
bundled app that looks even remotely fun."
"BYOD-Friendly
Smartphones 4 Work" (http://bit.ly/ObbfQE ) JK--No criteria 4 "BYOD-friendly." Security? #IBM reqs on smartphone email access

Denying Boy Scout troops

definitely crimp their ability 2 operate
Denying Boy Scouts permits
2 camp in State Parks throughout America will hurt, show them we dont tolerate

Let's stop creepy Internet
practice of wishing dead people happy birthday. What next? Graveyard parties

Tony Robbins and the hot

Relaxing is about getting
other's people's voices out of your head. And giving your own voice a rest.
