Open Data Strategy ?
« Open data strategy should be a top priority for any organization that uses the Web as a channel for delivering goods and services … Open data APIs are a
lightweight approach to data exchange. Their use is now considered a best practice for opening data and functionality to developers and other businesses. »(Gartner – août 2012)

What problem do we solve ?
Removing the barriers between Data and Applications.
• For Business users / analysts• Who know their data• To think and design their applications• With a quick Go To Live• Without needing to instantiate a complex IT project
Building applications in days, no more in months or years

How do we solve this problem ?Functionalities
Data procurement• File extraction• Pulling from remote sources (Web, DB, …)• Pushing through APIs• And sometimes, MDM
Data preparation• Fields mapping• Simple transformations (geo coords, text, …)• Complex transformations (geocoding, analytics, …)
Data publishing• Simple Web UI (navigate into the data)• API Factory (search, facetting, aggregation)
10
How do we solve this problem ?Technologies
… and Python …because it’s cool !• Sustained by a brilliant and huge community• Allows for multi-facets development patterns
NoSQL• Schema less• Highly scalable
Search• New flavor of applications• Mixing
– Traditionnal search approach– And Big Data analyticsIn the Cloud

How do we solve this problem ?Performances
Store datasets of tens of millions of records or even hundreds of millions of records.
With sub-second response time in simple real-time analytical processing tasks.
One platform for any scale use case.
