There is logical magic in the data sets

March 8, 2015, Rishi Dastidar

There is logical magic in the data sets,
Silent numbers are questioned to reveal.
These algorithms are not a digital hex.

The spreadsheet is today’s gazette,
Macro formulas are now what we feel.
There is logical magic in the data sets.

Truth reached in multiple, calculated steps,
Abstractions no longer used to conceal.
These algorithms are not a digital hex.

HANA’s performative speed needs respect;
Metric reliance is the future’s big deal.
There is logical magic in the data sets.

Other analytical modes fear the threat
Of qualitative fuzziness brought to heel.
These algorithms are not a digital hex.

Moneyball logic might be suspect,
But words alone lack Hadoopean zeal.
There is logical magic in the data sets.
These algorithms are not a digital hex.

 

HANA = High-performance Analytical Application, a trademark of the software company SAP 
Hadoop = a software framework
