BORDEAUX, France, October 29, 2013
AT Internet, a major player in the field of Digital analytics and Online Intelligence since 1995, and the Bordeaux-based IT research lab (LaBRI) have announced their joint venture in the 2.7 million Euro "Speed Data" project, with more than 50% State-funding as part of the digital section of the French government's "Investments for the future" initiative (Call for proposals "Cloud Computing" number 3 - Big Data).
The aim of the project, supported by Cap Digital*, is to develop a decision-making platform in SaaS mode which will offer unrivalled data by relying on innovative and competitive technology that will respond to the new challenges of Big Data: storing, exploiting and interpreting masses of heterogeneous data.
Analytics & BI: towards increased convergence
Today, (online and offline) data processing tools provide exhaustive analyses, but with no real convergence and via systems which are still too divided. The aim of the "Speed Data" project is to bring together Digital Analytics and Business Intelligence to provide the world of Business Intelligence with the dimensions of real-time, agility and responsiveness in the areas of data performance, data mining and data visualisation.
To reach this objective AT Internet and LaBRI have established the "SpeedData" project based on 3 main areas:
Results: promising progress in research and gains in competitiveness
The cost-effective, scalable, real-time (less than a minute) platform will be able to process volumes of data larger than a terabyte. The processed data will essentially be non-structured and come from both the online and offline worlds (web traffic measurements, weather, offline sales, economic or financial statistics, logistic data flows etc.).
The decision-making tool, developed for research, teaching and training purposes, will be used to test the results of research groups, integrate new fundamental concepts, confirm data mining algorithms and consolidate the implementation of technologies in a full-scale environment.
With a strong technological advance it will also allow the editor, AT Internet, to position itself on the competitive Big Data market which is currently dominated by American companies.
Cyril Mazeau, project co-ordinator at AT Internet states that "AT Internet, in the very short term, will be able to develop and offer innovative IT applications in SaaS mode, by relying on the project's platform in SaaS mode. In addition to the project itself, the provisional operating plan will allow AT Internet to recruit several new staff members to develop and commercialise its IT applications."
The key points of the "Speed Data" project
