The confusion of big data

At the end of last year, some people called the 2013 the "Big Data Year", the view that after 2012 years of the concept of large data analysis and speculation, large data in 2013 will enter a real practical application period. In fact, in the Chinese market at least, the big data market is not as hot as expected, for http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/8213.html "> Big Data Applications, there is a radical and conservative debate."

The radicals believe that with the large-scale application and popularization of sensors and a wide variety of terminal equipment, large data has become an objective fact. Governments, industries and enterprises must start from now, actively respond, and deploy large data application analysis solutions to enable the value of large data to be fully tapped. The sooner you act, the more you can benefit from it, while the negative wait will drown in more big data floods.

Conservative more technical experts from the business sector, the view that most enterprises have not even structured data analysis, ERP application is still in the initial stage of development, and immediately stride into the era of large data, is not realistic, will disrupt the development of enterprise information construction. As an enterprise, to maintain a calm and rational mind, down-to-earth application of information into the implementation, and gradually promote, can not head fever, drift, or may let the enterprise into the whirlpool of risk.

It is too early to conclude that the two views are the right one. From the actual situation, in the Chinese market, the large data application is still in the early application and groping period, but is an indisputable fact, the concept of speculation, landing cases are not many. Among them, the large data application analysis of technological innovation and talent training is the two bottlenecks, if not effectively resolved, large data will become a seemingly beautiful "castles in the castle." This issue covers the topic "Big Data revolution from the beginning", from the perspective of how the big data really landed, I hope that the topic of large data application of a phased summary, and issued a rational voice.

Smarter cities are closer to real market focus than larger data. As the Housing Ministry announces 90 pilot cities of intelligent cities, the smart urban construction market is within reach, and we understand that the actual construction of smarter cities is far more than the number of pilot cities announced. Even in a medium-sized city with a population of millions of, the planning investment of smart cities will be tens of billions of dollars, and it is conceivable that the total investment in building smart cities in China will be staggering.

With the acceleration of urbanization in China, the problems of urban construction and management become more and more acute and prominent, which is the important foundation of Intelligent City market. Natural disasters may be unavoidable, but man-made disasters can be circumvented by innovative technologies. Information technology in the construction of intelligent city will certainly be able to do something, this is no doubt. After a few years of theoretical analysis and discussion of the construction of Intelligent City, we have reason to believe that the construction of Intelligent city in 2013 years will enter the stage of large-scale promotion, so from the beginning of this period, we specifically opened a new column, named "Smart City", This paper analyzes and reports the concrete methodology and construction progress of intelligent city construction objectively and rationally, hoping to provide help for the orderly and healthy development of this market.

Mobile applications are gaining widespread attention in the industry. 2013 Fire Micro-letter, more and more people to the micro-letters unfamiliar to the familiar, and quickly accepted, and therefore, two-dimensional code application into a new development period, then the commercial value of two-dimensional code? What are the latest developments in marketing innovation? This issue of the application of "Two-dimensional Code" button enterprise application of the door to the topic of concern, please pay attention to readers.
