The evolution of expressing our machine instruction. Let’s get there together. Machine Instruction 1.0 In the past, we taught our computers what to do by expressing our desires with exact instruction.

OLAP and Hadoop are not the same. OLAP is a technology to perform multi-dimensional analytics like reporting and data mining. It has been around since 1970. Hadoop is a technology to perform massive computation on large data. Around since 2002. They can be used together but there are differences when choosing between using Hadoop/MapReduce data […]

One of the key portions of the architecture involved Hadoop and Spark for both data storage and data processing for the delivery of data […]

Analytics (i.e., using math and other systematic approaches to bring understanding to pharmacovigilance) data can have its own adverse event: a strong sensation of nausea if you haven’t had the opportunity to put into place a sensible, compliant solution that is the right fit for your organization.

Out of Touch? I was at a doctor’s office a few weeks back.  I thought it was strange that he brought in a laptop and was pulling up patient information from it.  It may not be strange to most, but it was for me.  I have grown used to seeing an in-office standup computer system […]
