Book description

Which companies have adopted technologies such as Hadoop and Spark, as well as data science in general? And which industries are lagging behind? This O’Reilly report provides the results of a unique, data-driven analysis of the market for big data products and technologies.

Using eye-catching charts and visualizations, Spiderbook cofounder Aman Naimat highlights some surprising results from the analysis, such as:

The relatively small number of companies using big data in production
Industries that have embraced big data the most—and the least
The amount of money spent on various big data use cases
How many companies actually use “fast data”

The results also reveal the geographical locations where companies have been quick to adopt big data, as well as the types of teams that use big data technology.

In addition, Naimat takes you through the analysis process with Spiderbook’s graph-based machine-learning model. The company analyzed billions of publicly available documents, canvassed more than 500,000 companies, and searched the entire business internet to compile the most comprehensive results possible.
