The Business Analytics Translational Centre (BATC), a cross-agency national level initiative by the Agency of Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with leading open source solutions provider Red Hat to help accelerate innovation and drive adoption of business analytics in their upcoming projects.
According to an official statement, Red Hat will be collaborating with BATC in areas of big data, middleware, Platform-as-a-service (PaaS), cloud and storage, for the innovation and development of its various initiatives.
BATC is a leading player in the strategic technology translation for big data and analytics in Singapore. To date, a number of open source based applications for data analytics have been developed through collaborative initiatives between the A*STAR and the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA).
An example of which is BATC’s Social Sense TM which runs on Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®. It incorporates a number of A*STAR intellectual properties in data analytics, semantic information processing, text mining and enables organizations to analyze user-generated data feeds on social media platforms such as Face book and Twitter. It automatically analyses user feedback and sentiments in real-time which gives organizations an understanding on how the public perceives them and their outreach programmers.
“We are cognizant of the advantages open source technology offers to drive the development of rapid prototype applications for business and technical requirements gathering and business use-case validation. Organizational lead users can then rapidly discern the value of Business Analytics and formulate effective strategies for organizational-wide BA transformation,” said Dr Tan Geok Leng, Chairman of BATC Management Committee and Executive Director for the Science & Engineering Research Council (SERC).
