We are living in the era of Big Data. A time which is characterized by the continuous
creation of vast amounts of data, originated from different sources, and with
different formats. First, with the rise of the social networks and, more recently, with
the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), in which everyone and (eventually)

want to access and explore all the richness that is present in those data. Indeed, Big
Data is only as valuable as the insights organizations gather from it to make better
decisions, which is the main goal of Business Intelligence. In this paper we describe

technology explicitly developed to deal with the specificities of Big Data) is used to
feed a Business Intelligence solution
