To gain a competitive edge over their peers, organizations are looking for technologies such as HDInsight to provide breakthrough insights from the vast amount of structured and unstructured data. While the promise and value of a modern Data Lake is clear, the journey requires proper planning of people, process, and technology. A key success factor is to build a Big Data Center of Excellence that can champion the cause and execute with skilled resource delivering solutions for real business problems.

These are exciting times for all of us working with big data and we have the opportunity to make a big difference leveraging the next generation Data Lake platform. Good luck on your journey!
