John – Thanks for the shout-out – I think you’re 100% correct, big firms are starting to pay attention to the Big Data space. Firms for whom data is their core business – Nielsen, IRI, IMS Health, and Salary.com — are certainly ahead of the curve, but it’s a giant upsloping curve and we’re skirting the tail.
