Anupam Gupta, Director & Founder, Avenues International, explains that “until recently, the high costs of storage, computing power, and software licenses fees has discouraged many companies to gather, store and perform data analytics on large amount of data.” For last few years, working extensively on open source Hadoop, Hive, Map Reduce and incorporating Cloud servers, Avenues International has created powerful robust Frameworks which can rapidly and cost effectively deploy Big Data Solutions.

Big Data Frameworks developed by Avenues are easily customizable to meet a client’s specific business needs. Business information that includes unstructured data coming from social media, web applications and third parties are extracted and stored on Hadoop File system and Hive. Advance analytics techniques such as predictive analytics, data mining, statistical models, and natural language processing are implemented to gain valuable Insight on this data. “Currently, we bring social media and other public data and are performing sentiment analysis on predefined key words for our clients. Our skilled team of professionals, using our Big Data solutions Framework and methodology has consistently provided the best Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) to our clients,” asserts Gupta.
