Technology Category	Analytics & Modeling - Big Data Analytics Analytics & Modeling - Real Time Analytics
Applicable Industries	Education
Applicable Functions	Product Research & Development
Use Cases	Real-Time Location System (RTLS)
Services	Data Science Services
Challenge	As big, fast data proliferates, more and more data streams are being generated in real time from a myriad of data sources, such as Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, markets, mobile devices, internal transactional systems and clickstream analysis. Real-time insights must be derived from this data to give a competitive edge to agile organizations that want to act on these insights before they lose their value. To handle billions of these data streams, new software architectures and techniques are needed. These types of software are called “Big Data Streaming Analytics.” Companies need educated specialists to harness the power of big data. The Streaming Analytics Education Package (SAEP) is Software AG´s answer to the growing demand for data science experts. Universities and private companies share the responsibility of training the sought-after talent currently demanded by the market. Read More
About Customer	Freie Universität Berlin, founded in 1948, is one of Germany's leading research universities and the highest ranked.
