Most organizations today have acknowledged the might of Big Data. However, the challenge lies not in designing and implementing hardware or software infrastructure, but in identifying and aligning the organization around data and its analysis. In order to drive a competitive edge, organizations need to take a leap from Big Data proof of concept to fully operational and strategic initiative for their business. Having established a foothold in implementing cloud and Big Data strategies, International Integrated Solutions (IIS) offers commendable API and SQL driven big data platforms providing insights into data and drive the necessary competitive advantage for the company. Plainview, NY headquartered IIS delivers advanced analytics platforms for a spectrum of enterprises while meeting the current Big Data challenges with Vertica and Hadoop, which offer unprecedented marketing advantages and operational efficiencies to organizations. “The key takeaway from IIS is that, with the right tools for the right job, you can create smarter solutions faster and move on to optimizing and improving areas of business which were considered impossible or impractical to address,” John Iacone, CEO, IIS.

IIS architects and implements business critical projects replacing traditional database technology, the “old elephants” as Turing Award winner Michael Stonebraker calls them, with a big data platform and tools that are designed for the analysis of terabytes and petabytes of data. Also, such technologies reduce infrastructure and maintenance costs of these databases designed in the 80’s, like Oracle or DB2, improving productivity of existing staff. Briefly describing how IIS makes a difference with its solutions, Iacone says, “An organization can make real progress within minutes or an hour without having to wait. It is similar to using a cell phone to look up an answer rather than waiting to look it on an encyclopedia. With current systems, data scientists no longer need tens of hours but only seconds or minutes to answer queries.”Having had the advantage of exploring and examining data from multiple disparate sources, IIS’s Chief Data Scientist,Don Vilen notes, “We build an alignment between IT and business leaders, providing customers the agility to meet the spikes of Big Data.”
