#Microsoft updated its CRM and #SQL offerings and Intel showcased its IoT efforts. Meanwhile, the #USSupremeCourt is weighing questions about the liability companies have in ensuring the accuracy of consumer data. Learn about this and more in our #BigData Roundup for the week of Nov. 6.
Microsoft has analytics updates coming to several products soon, and Intel announced enhancements to its Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives this week. Those were among the big stories in big data for the week ending Nov. 6, along with more from #Tableau, #MongoDB and others. We also saw the US Supreme Court begin exploring liability questions related to consumer data.
First let's look at the Microsoft news. Microsoft is changing its #DynamicsCRM 2016 technology to include #AzureMachineLearning, among other new capabilities. The update will integrate new capabilities into Dynamics CRM to help businesses provide a fast, effective customer experience, Microsoft told InformationWeek. This technology will learn from the experiences customer service representatives have with customers in order to improve the knowledge base from which they can draw to handle future calls.
Microsoft also announced the start of a public preview of its In-Memory #OLTP and Real-Time Operational Analytics in Azure SQL Database. Microsoft wrote in a blog post that the updates provide improved speed of performance for business applications and enable scaling to support an increased numbers of users. Microsoft said that customers, including #Samsung, #Dell, and #Progressive, have achieved up to 30x transactional performance gains.
