Big Data Analytics: technology’s hottest trend

Overviews and hands-on demonstrators of analytics transforming information to insight to value
The Centre for Applied Data Analytics (CeADAR) is an industry-led technology centre for the development, and deployment of analytic technology and innovation. The Centre is a joint initiative between Enterprise Ireland and the IDA.

The Centre’s work focuses on developing tools, techniques and technologies that enable more people, organisations and industries to use analytics for better decision making

The primary outputs are prototypes and demonstrators, along with state of the art reviews of data analytics technology, tools, best-practice methodologies and processes.
