Omneo is a division of global enterprise manufacturing software firm Camstar Systems, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Siemens.

For a compelling example that illustrates how big data is affecting the manufacturing sector, we can consider Omneo, a provider of supply chain management software for manufacturing companies. The business need was to enable global manufacturers to efficiently manage product quality/performance and customer experience. Consequently, Omneo needed to collect, manage, search and analyze vast amounts of diverse data types, and it sought the right software and hardware infrastructure to support this effort. The organization worked with Dell and Cloudera to build a software solution on top of the Cloudera® of Distribution Hadoop® (CDH) platform running on a cluster of Dell PowerEdge C8220 servers with Intel® Xeon® processors, giving customers total product data visibility throughout their entire supply chain.
