Boardwalktech, Inc.
The Boardwalk Collaboration Platform (BCP) is a patented technology that brings cell-level data management to the spreadsheet world. BCP unlocks spreadsheet data making it available for big data analytics as well as for collaborative business processes in the enterprise.
How we integrate with IBM and what value add we bring:
Companies have long struggled to meaningfully connect data on the desktop to the rest of the enterprise. With the number of Excel users exceeding 500 Million and growing, the importance of spreadsheet-based data for big data analytics is on the increase as well. BCP provides the ability to intelligently integrate Excel-based process data with IBM InfoSphere BigInsights platform. This is more than simply connecting to a static dataset inside an Excel file. It's enabling SQL level access and integration to spreadsheet data in a way never before possible.
Based on standard Microsoft technologies, BCP's core intellectual property is a patented cell-level data management system run centrally on top of Microsoft SQL Server. Unlike file-sharing based technologies like SharePoint, or web-form based Excel look-alikes, only BCP enables concurrent, off-line use of native Excel without check-out. This, coupled with BCP's persistent cell-level sharing and change tracking for data and formulas, creates a collaboration and data management platform that delivers transformative operational efficiencies, along with a treasure trove of cell-level data with historical values intact.
"The effective management and integration of spreadsheet data into enterprise operations and analytics is the last mile in enabling a fully integrated enterprise. Boardwalktech's ground breaking data management technology coupled with IBM InfoSphere BigInsights platform extends the reach of big data analytics to this critical business information." According to Andrew Duncan, CEO of Boardwalktech. He goes on to say, "One of our customers said it best when he said, "Boardwalktech has cracked the code to enabling the access and management of cell-level spreadsheet data across the enterprise".

RES integrates with IBM to complete the IBM offering which brings added value to the clients.
IBM InfoSphere BigInsights and InfoSphere Streams business analytics are made even more powerful by the RES products via their Data Quality and Data Governance.
The RES Suite platform, the RES personnel’s flexible approach supported by an enterprise-level (legacy and LUW) wide-purpose SW tools portfolio, enhances the IBM’s Big Data offering by providing quantifiable operational cost savings and increased efficiency in both the technical and user environments where the solutions are installed and used.
An IBM survey found that more than half of business IT leaders realized that in order to compete in a globally-integrated economy, today’s organizations need a comprehensive understanding of markets, customers, products, regulations, competitors, suppliers, employees and more. This understanding demands the effective use of information and analytics.
Big Data for the analysis of static data and data in motion now makes it possible to immediately exploit large volumes of structured data available in their original form, but also semi-structured and unstructured data available in a wide variety of sources when it is necessary to analyze all the data and when processing of a sample is not significant and thus does not provide effective results.
Virtually all companies have a large number of logs that contain information with high potential value, but they must be extracted and exploited. RES, by using the IBM Big Data platform, offers its clients the tools for the development, customization, management and visualization, via an Hadoop platform enriched with features that have improved system management and performances.
The difference between the IBM solution and those based exclusively on open source modules is the ability to deal with issues that are critical for an enterprise-wide solution.
RES helps organizations collect and analyze big data, with the aim of generating new insights resulting in a better understanding of their customers as individuals; deliver rich, personalized experiences that reinforce company brands, and maximize the value of every customer interaction.
