Hi:
Sounds like you have a potential solution to offer to the marketplace. Or is it a service that clients can plug into existing processes?
It's great that you've developed the requisitie experience and skills, but whether you're offering a solution or service, you now need to spin your thinking around:
* Who is using this technology currently?
* What are the headaches those users experience while using this technology?
* How does your solution or service resolve those headaches?
* Are users willing to pay to resolve those headaches?
* What will it take to get users to switch from their current solution or service to your solution or service?
If you don't do this legwork in the marketplace to identify existing issues, challenges and headaches, there's a high likelihood your solution or service will fall flat.
If you wish to discuss, send me a PM through Clarity for 15 free minutes.
Cheers,
Kerby
You have to think about how to differentiate yourself better. Stating SSAS and SSIS does not do that, and it does not explain the value, you create.
Selling Data Warehouses is often a hard sell, as it usually is expensive, and the customer does not understand the value, you create; management always get their answers even it means some poor controller has to work late to transform a csv-dump from somewhere into actionable knowledge.
Define the business problems, you solve; what are your use cases? And sexify your delivery by doing mockups in a nice frontend tool. Businesses buy from the looks of your output - not from the design of your data model (unless you sell to IT people). And try to combine your technologies into products, that companies buy off the shelf. Again - you’re selling the output, and people don’t want to understand the technology, if they can avoid it. (Unlike IT, where they will ask about maintenance, scalability, etc. So make sure you cover that too).
To get started, do some maintenance work with existing applications on a consulting basis to understand customer needs and make a bit of money.
Good luck! Feel free to set up a call, if you want to discuss things further.

Looking for a tool to help me tweet replies from a specific Twitter account. Then I'll need help to analyze the data.
Are you talking about tweeting replies based on keywords in a tweet directed towards a specific @user? If so, then you should be able to find a developer to create a simple Twitter bot for you. You can get really fancy with it and even train an AI model to come up with replies on its own. Analyzing data is a much different beast than a Twitter bot. For one, Twitter data is unstructured data. Also, how do you want to analyze this data and how do you plan on using these results? That makes a big difference in the direction that the real answer to this question will take. There are a number of different tools available, but it's probably going to require a hybrid solution of custom programming on top of using the tools available.MG

How big data can evolve if our overall ability to convert data into really valuable info that then can drive effective decision making is so limited?
I would disagree with the premise that "big data" isn't being converted into valuable information. Modern advertising is being driven by exactly this ability. The problem lies not with the information, or lack thereof, but with the decision makers. Lack of vision at both the strategic and tactical levels of decision, fear of change, among other things are at the root of the problem.GD
