Build Great Digital Experiences at the Speed of the Web with Enterprise Drupal Gardens
The first weeks of 2013 were barely out of the gate when one industry analyst was already predicting that Big Data would be Time magazine’s 2013 “Person of the Year.” Watching what Google, Amazon, and Facebook have done with Big Data is impressive, enviable.
