Current Market Landscape

Today big data is the backbone of every industry. All are slowly transitioning from the technology-driven era to the data-driven era. All social media channels and internet in general is a treasure-trove of personal data which can be used for targeted marketing and analytics. Manipulating and analyzing this voluminous and unstructured data require Big Data skills which results in the urgent need for training. This is generally available in two modes:

Companies managing training in-house with their L&D team

Short term industry focused trainings provided by Edutech companies

Addressing the Challenges

The primary challenge is to bridge the gap between new technology and industry application. While new methods of handling data are being developed the trainings available needs to be on par with the industry application of these technologies. The trainings cannot just be theoretical. They must have industry level projects and recent examples to provide participants the correct exposure. The required infrastructure to get trained is also difficult and expensive to assemble. This is where Edutech providers step in. With the continuous influx of new technology and their adaption into industry processes professional education providers need to continuously upgrade their offerings in terms on content and projects to stay in line.

Services

Simplilearn has multiple Big Data offerings but the primary skills are Hadoop.  and Spark. The firm is also introducing courses to integrate these Big Data technologies with R and Python resulting in RHadoop and PyHadoop trainings, which is the best of both big data and data science worlds.

Apart from the regular courses, Simplilearn also has a social responsibility to spread knowledge and awareness of the new technologies. It authors a number of articles and organize webinars by our industry acclaimed advisors and trainers and all interested professionals are invited to read and be a part of the same.

Differentiating Factors

The primary differentiating factor is the hands-on experience through Cloudlabs. Big Data required hadoop clusters and we provide an on-cloud platform to practice our big-data projects and assignments. It is unique in the industry and removes all installation hassles from the user end.

Simplilearn’s training services are provided by two modes: self-paced training and online Flexipass.

The flat organization provides a very good platform for presenting ideas.
