If you were to rebuild your current information infrastructure from scratch, it\u2019s clear that it would be built in a very different way from the past &#8212; with a single \u201cBig Data\u201d information platform used for both analytics and operations, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sapbigdata.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">leveraging both Hadoop and in-memory advances.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I believe that the future is about getting <a href=\"https:\/\/timoelliott.com\/blog\/2013\/11\/sap-hortonworks-hangout-big-data-meets-enterprise-systems.html\" target=\"_blank\">the best of both worlds<\/a>, and that Hadoop can never reach its full potential until it has better links to existing business applications. The Hadoop community can only be improved if we can bring more \u201cold-world expertise&#8221; to this great new technology opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s always a great idea to get an outsiders view of things you take for granted \u2013 so please consider signing up for the <a href=\"http:\/\/hadoopsummit.org\/amsterdam\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hadoop Summit in the Netherlands<\/a> (vote for my \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/hadoopsummit.uservoice.com\/forums\/196821-hadoop-for-business-applications-and-development\/suggestions\/5059444-real-life-examples-of-using-hadoop-to-drive-busine\" target=\"_blank\">enterprise meets Hadoop<\/a>\u201d presentation!) or in <a href=\"http:\/\/hadoopsummit.org\/san-jose\/\" target=\"_blank\">San Jose<\/a> (call for presentations now open).<\/p>\n<p>Still not convinced? Check out these two conversations with Hortonworks executives at last year\u2019s Summit, discussing\u00a0 how the old world and new world can work together (Hortonworks is the most \u201ccommunity-oriented\u201d of the Hadoop distributions).
