Earlier this week, Datanami completed the transition to BigDatawireLoyal readers will note that we began this journey almost two years ago. And while the transition may have taken a little longer than expected, it is satisfying to finally be here.
We have a new name, but the publication maintains its core focus on big data topics, including data management, data science, advanced analytics, and artificial intelligence. You can expect to read the same excellent coverage of cutting-edge technologies in this space and the people putting them into practice.
We chose the name BigDatawire for a couple of reasons. First, it aligns with the Tabor Communications Inc. family of publications, including TCI’s flagship website, HPC Cableas well as AI Cablewhich recently changed its name to Business Artificial Intelligence.
Secondly, the name reflects the fact that big data is still a reality. While the big data boom may have started a decade and a half ago, many of the same challenges persist and big data management remains a major challenge.
Data management technology has certainly improved significantly since the first Hadoop clusters came online, but increasing data volumes and velocity, not to mention changing data use cases (hello, generative AI) are exposing weaknesses in organizations’ current data management strategies.
The goal with BigDatawire (either BDW (for short) is to continue to highlight these data management challenges, as well as show readers the business opportunities that open up when effective data management is achieved.
It’s the end of the road for Datanamiwhich was one of the first publications dedicated to covering the emerging market for big data solutions in 2011. I am honored to have been the editor-in-chief of Datanami Since 2013.
With the hard work of the publications staff and a little luck, hopefully… BigDatawire You can have an equally successful career.
