Interview with Martin Petry on "Big Data"

Abstract

In an interview, Martin Petry answers various questions, including: 1. Big Data in the eyes of a CIO of a globally leading corporation serving the global construction industry sounds unfamiliar. Why is Big Data a topic for the Hilti Corporation? 2. Hilti is one of the first companies using SAP HANA databases in productive environments - why did Hilti choose such a first mover approach and what benefits do you expect? 3. Mr. Petry, from a CIO perspective why is Big Data (not) just another buzzword?
