Ok, full disclosure up front: I am a big proponent of Data Mining and Predictive Modeling as being the next logical step in the evolution of business intelligence and decision support capabilities for the business user. So it should not be a surprise that my reaction to the recent CIO Magazine webcast on SAP’s new Predicative Analysis software solution is enthusiastic.

I recently attended a webinar sponsored by SAP.  The topic was Managing Big Data as Enterprise Information.  There were two parts to this webinar: the first, a conceptual presentation around Hybrid Data Ecosystem by Shawn Rogers from EMA; the second, Marie Godell explained how SAP solutions support the Hybrid Data Ecosystem.
