Too Much Data, Not Enough Info?

摘要

Texas instruments' Joe Lebowitz describes the decision-making challenge at the company's Kilby Center in Dallas: "We have the propensity to collect data in, the semiconductor industry that is absolutely unparalleled. We've got databases that are probably still housed in vacuum tubes somewhere all the way up to the latest, greatest, Oracle databases." Lebowitz, director of yield engineering, described those circumstances at a user group conference of Spotfire Inc., Somerville, Mass. He had just gotten the go-ahead for more licenses of Spotfire's Decision-Site software as the enabling part of a data analysis system. The task: tying different tools and different databases together to give TI engineers an easy data visualization capability.
