Gain Unparalleled Clarity With Novetta Entity Analytics
Novetta Entity Analytics Delivers Critical Requirements for Advanced 360 Entity Views. The ability to bring together data from multiple sources and produce complete views of entities for analysis can dramatically transform how organizations perform analytics. Analytics tools and applications with access to advanced 360-degree entity views benefit from richer and more contextual insights than ever before. Although the term “360-degree view” has been in use for years, most often it refers to a view of a subset of data about a person gathered from internal structured sources and presented in master data management (MDM) software or stored in a data…
Industry Use Case Series

System Speed and Scale Greatly Improve Data and Analytics Quality
Accurately resolved entities are critical for analytics because analysts won’t use data they don’t trust and aren’t willing to include in their reporting. Novetta Entity Analytics was designed to rapidly deliver highly accurate entity results and scale to handle billions of records across a Hadoop computing cluster. Distributed Processing Returns Highly Accurate Results High quality entities that meet the needs of analysts are key to the success of Novetta Entity Analytics. To achieve these results, the software rapidly groups records into meaningful entities using an iterative process that begins with creating candidate entity resolution rules and applying those rules across…
Source-Agnostic Methods: How They Drive Powerful Hadoop Analytics
Novetta began developing entity analytics technology more than 15 years ago to help our government customers better understand their data. These customers had many large data sources that were growing quickly and wanted to be able to rapidly and accurately use the data for analysis without requiring significant human interaction. Novetta spent years counting, measuring and analyzing many data types in interesting ways, and used this knowledge to create proven, statistically sound, empirical methods for processing and combining data from many sources. The result is Novetta Entity Analytics software. Source-Agnostic Methods Combine Many Data Sources Novetta Entity Analytics uses…
Detecting Hidden Relationships Leads To New Insights
In previous blog posts I talked about how the ability of Novetta Entity Analytics to understand relationships between entities allows it to deliver more accurate entity resolution and analytics results. Today I’ll explain in more detail how Novetta Entity Analytics detects relationships within and between entities from many data attributes and sources, and why this awareness yields greater insights. Payload Attributes Provide Relationship Insights To understand relationships, Novetta Entity Analytics analyzes both the attributes used for entity resolution, and additional payload attributes that exist within the data but are not used during the entity resolution process. When analyzed in different combinations…
Entity Resolution on Hadoop: Converting Data from Tables to Knowledge
This post is a collaboration between Novetta and O’Reilly. It was originally published by Andy Oram, Editor at O’Reilly Radar. We often talk in business and computing about moving from “raw data” to “knowledge,” hoping to take useful actions based on the data our organization has collected over time. Before one can view trends in your data or do other analytics, you need tools for data cleaning and for combining multiple data sources into meaningful collections of information, known as entities. An entity may be a customer, a product, a point of sale, an incident being investigated by the police, or anything else around…
Entity Resolution on Hadoop: Tackling Dirty, Inconsistent, or Unstructured Data
This post is a collaboration between Novetta and O’Reilly. It was originally published by Andy Oram, Editor at O’Reilly Radar. Entity resolution refers to processes that businesses and other organizations have to do all the time in order to produce full reports on people, organizations, or events. Entity resolution can be used, for instance, to: Combine your customer data with a list purchased from a data broker. Identical data may be in columns of different names, such as “last” and “surname.” Connecting columns from different databases is a common extract, transform, and load (ETL) task. Extract values from one database and match them against…
Strata+Hadoop World Recap: Hadoop Business Drivers and Challenges
A few short weeks ago at Strata+Hadoop World in San Jose, our team surveyed attendees of the show walking through the expo floor. We asked these attendees five simple questions to get some sense of the adoption of Hadoop, the business drivers behind it and challenges organizations are facing. The five questions we asked are these: 1. Has your organization invested in a Hadoop platform?[clear-line] 2. If yes, which best describes your Hadoop investment. 3. What business justification drove or is driving your implementation of Hadoop? 4. What is the most challenging aspect of big data and your ability to derive…
