PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/16/13 -- ClearStory Data, a company delivering a new big data solution that makes it simple for business users to find, combine and interactively analyze data from corporate sources and disparate third-party sources, today announced that CEO Sharmila Mulligan will be talking further about the value of effectively analyzing data from disparate sources at the New York City Data Business Meetup on January 22, 2013.

Mulligan will discuss how the overflow of big data has created a market full of opportunities that however constrain businesses due to a dearth of qualified professionals and data experts to make sense of it all. Mulligan will discuss new models that overcome the shortage of talent to leverage the value of big data, highlighted by examples across various industries.

"The new data landscape demands a whole new way of approaching analysis that centers on easier access, rapid exploration and drawing insights from diverse data that go beyond just new visualization techniques," said Mulligan. "Organizations need a better way to reach insights that incorporate the judgment of talented data professionals combined with intuitive exploration that any business user can operate."
