HAZLET, N.J., Dec. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Comrise, a global consulting firm, will be sponsoring a 3-day and 5-day Big Data Training session in early January in ECL (Enterprise Control Language) – a query and control language, and HPCC (High Performance Computing Cluster) Systems – a proven, data-intensive supercomputing platform designed for the enterprise to process and solve Big Data analytical problems.

The training is being provided courtesy of a partner of Comrise, LexisNexis® Risk Solutions, a leader in providing essential information that helps customers across all industries and government predict, assess, and manage risk.

"LexisNexis has a rapidly-growing number of customers who already leverage the HPCC Platform, including banks, insurance companies, law enforcing agencies, federal government, and other enterprise-class organizations," says Rob Bigini, VP of Operations for Comrise.
