JCN Newswire (英)
NEC Corporation (TSE:6701) and NEC Technologies India Private
Limited (NTI) today announced the launch of a "Center of Excellence
for Analytics Platform & Solutions" (COE-APS) for promoting
solutions and services of NEC's Big Data & Analytics Platform,
"Data Platform for Hadoop (DPH)". The COE-APS will simplify digital
transformation and act as a one stop shop for both customers and
partners in the Telecom, Retail, Banking, Financial Services,
Insurance and Manufacturing sectors, as well as Government
organizations. NEC aims to achieve revenue of more than $100M USD
within 3 years of the COE-APS' establishment, which is being set-up
with an overall investment of $10M USD over the same period.
The COE-APS will initially focus on markets that include Japan,
India, Singapore, Philippines and Hong Kong, then gradually expand
services throughout APAC and other regions. In order to support
these growing operations, NEC plans to organize a team of 100
professionals within the first few years, as the Global Big Data
& Analytics market is expected to reach $210B USD by 2020(1).
Hadoop alone is expected to reach $50.2B USD by 2020(2). With the
industry already facing a shortage in talent, specifically in
Hadoop and analytics areas, the establishment of the COE-APS will
help NEC to leverage India's strong talent base.
In recent years, the exponential growth in data processing is
straining the capabilities of conventional databases and data
warehouse solutions. With the advent of Big Data & Analytics
solutions, customers can be reassured that data is comprehensively
and reliably analyzed, thereby enabling them to make well-informed
decisions at the right time.
Moreover, the COE-APS will leverage the computational power and
scalability of NEC's specialized Hardware for Big Data &
Analytics in order to flexibly handle the ever increasing demand
for storage and computation by Hadoop.
The DPH features open source Hadoop from Hortonworks, as well as an
analytics and Business Intelligence layer, making it a
first-of-its-kind(3) solution-in-a-box that frees customers from
the burden of searching for the individual building blocks of big
data analytics, and enables them to generate value from the
enormous pools of data.
NEC has an accomplished record of contributing to national projects
in India, including the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) and
the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), which is
aligned with the Government's "Digital India" initiative. For the
DMIC, NEC established a Logistics Data Bank (LDB) that tracks
almost 70% of containers in India(4). In terms of the UIDAI, NEC
provides a large-scale biometrics identification system which
registered more than 1 billion people since its deployment.
"The key to success for organizations today is to make fast and
informed decisions by extracting insights out of the huge volumes
of data that are available to them. The new Center of Excellence is
an important step towards utilizing big data analytics and NEC's
Data Platform for Hadoop to provide benefits for government bodies
and enterprises in India and across the world," said Tomoyasu
Nishimura, Senior Vice President, NEC Corporation. "Going forward,
we aim to continue driving digital transformation for industries of
all sizes and markets."
