Biota Technology 是工业基因组学的先驱，发现了一个颠覆性的商机：将医学和科学 DNA 测序和基因组学的创新应用于工业用途，特别是用于石油和天然气的地下勘探。 Biota 团队知道，率先将工业基因组学推向市场对于成功至关重要。他们的创新可能对客户大有裨益，尤其是面临提高资本效率和降低运营成本压力的能源公司，同时也面临着收集、跟踪和整合各种数据的挑战，而这是 Biota 擅长的。然而，由于基因组和生物材料的复杂性，Biota 的基因组学愿景极难实现和扩展。微生物添加了描述油田流体运动特征所需的数据层，因此钻井人员可以知道地下的哪些层正在生产石油和天然气。 Biota 调查不同位置、深度和时间的地下微生物，并将它们组织成 DNA 标记。一个 Biota 样本有大约 20,000 个序列，描述了大约 100 个 DNA 标记。在实践中，Biota 存储和分类数十万个微生物数据点，然后分析数据，以便将其用于明智的业务决策。为了成为第一家工业基因组公司，Biota Technology 需要一个全面的分析解决方案。该公司求助于 TIBCO Spotfire 分析，因为它具有广泛的功能，可以支持想要创建自定义分析和数据科学应用程序的合作伙伴和客户。

CTI Solutions 开始为客户寻找新的报告解决方案，因为正如首席执行官 Rick Daffron 所描述的那样，“他们越来越多地参与监控一切——批发库存、按款式销售、SKU。通过 Excel 和其他工具以 HTML 和可下载格式提供分析。拥有 12 名本地全职程序员和另外 30 名海外程序员，其中大约 6 名致力于维护全球 93 个国家的任务报告。到了跟不上编程和维护的地步。就是不能这样继续下去。需要一种更自动化、更统一的解决方案，并且能够提供多种不同方式来呈现信息，包括在线和可下载信息。如果我们不迁移到更灵活的报告和数据处理系统，就无法满足客户对及时信息不断增长的需求，也无法雇佣增长所需的人才。通过转向专用的分析引擎，可以专注于记录而不是维护。还可以提供实时数据和更适合体验而不是任务的环境，这将使我们与竞争对手区分开来。

While the introduction of high-throughput techniques and lab automation helped to save a lot of time and manual effort to screen compounds, organizations lacked an easy to handle tool to perform accurate analyses that didn’t require a highly skilled analyst. Moreover, to cope with the tremendous amount of data, the scientists used to evaluate results on a per batch basis, skipping over information from the entire dataset thus missing opportunities to make better decisions. A large volume of complex data has to be assessed throughout the workflow to achieve the goal of delivering high-quality compounds. When the assay is developed and optimized it’s not only the activity or inactivity of a given target that has to be considered, batch size, reagent preparation, temperature, and signal stability need to be evaluated for a robust assay. Moreover, the quality of the screening campaign needs to be supervised to eradicate systematic errors, and hits have to be carefully selected to minimize false positives and false negatives in order to concentrate on the most promising candidates and make the most out of the available resources. Many data evaluation applications have difficulty dealing with the sheer volume of data, let alone handling the data’s multivariate and multiparametric nature.

Bigmate 主要处理物联网 (IoT)，或者更具体地说，是资产互联网 (IoA)。 “它指的是从业务资产中收集和分析数据，以便您获得有意义且富有洞察力的商业智能，”首席技术官 Peter Girgis 说。 Bigmate 远程信息处理平台提供实时车辆跟踪、数据分析和垂直或水平扩展的工具。新兴的远程信息处理应用程序，例如车辆发动机监控，正在推动对客户可访问的仪表板和报告的需求。由于数据的生成频率高达每秒一次，因此提供清晰的可视化是一项至关重要的要求。

Lufthansa Cargo’s IT systems had evolved into a complex and heterogeneous structure centered around the host-based MOSAIK application, which dated back to the seventies. This system enabled access to product information, bookings, reservations, and shipment tracking, as well as the exchange of waybill data via electronic data interchange (EDI). However, developing add-ons and adaptations to this system was time-consuming and costly, which was necessary for the optimal support of Lufthansa Cargo’s time-definite services. These services responded to customers’ needs for the rapid shipment of specific types of goods within a precisely defined time frame. The company needed to reduce operating costs by simplifying the complexity of interfaces and maintenance, and to accelerate the time to market of its new products and services. Enterprise and business application integration were identified as key facilitators, connectors, and control systems to achieve these objectives.

In the United States, roughly one in 20 patients admitted to a hospital develops an infection, with surgical site infections being the most common. These infections account for more than 30 percent of occurrences, leading to illness, prolonged hospitalization, and even death. The total cost of hospital-acquired infections is estimated at $10 billion per year. Surgeons at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics wanted to know when patients were susceptible to surgical infections to make critical treatment decisions in the operating room. Dr. John Cromwell believed that predictive analytics could prevent a high percentage of surgical site infections and decrease healthcare costs. However, the division’s desktop analytics environment could not handle large distributed data volumes, posing a major roadblock.

Western Union faced challenges in integrating its payments ecosystem with hundreds of banks, half a million locations, and various post offices, ATM networks, mobile devices, and online and retail locations.

Though nonprofits want data, they don’t always have the ability to get it. “When we start a project to help a nonprofit, we sometimes see a data collection issue, and not collecting data can have implications on funding. Funders are the biggest group demanding data from non-governmental organizations (NGOs), nonprofits, and even government,” says Heeke. At the same time, funders aren’t always keen on the idea of their donations going towards analytics tools. “There’s a huge opportunity to use enterprise-level tools for social impact and finding ways to make this technology accessible to the non-profit community is critical.” “It’s really about the quality of data and the ability to make the data visible and useful to a wide audience. People forget that good ideas come from people on the ground, and not necessarily from the analyst in an office,” says Heeke.

Like many companies in the energy industry, the challenge for Cargill was the volume of its diverse data and the difficulty of processing it quickly to enable fast response to market events.
