On March 14th at 10:00am PT I’ll be taking part in a webinar in association with LucidWorks on the role search has to play in big data.

I’ll be joined by Grant Ingersoll, Chief Technology Officer for LucidWorks, who will provide a brief overview of LucidWorks Big Data, a development platform designed specifically for building these new applications.

Also presenting will be Tony Jewitt, Vice President of Big Data Solutions for Avalon Consulting LLC, who will demonstrate how Avalon’s Unified Search and Analytics platform leverages the LucidWorks Big Data platform to discover and analyze data maintained in Hadoop.

Between us we’ll also be discussing:

• How Big Data is changing the database landscape
• Total data – new approaches to accessing and analyzing data
• Search and analytics – two sides of the same coin
• The role that search plays in discovering new insights and generating value
