Event Details

Pressures are piling up on traditional data, business intelligence (BI), analytics, and visualization delivery. They include:
1. Continued downward pressure on IT cost, including little or no budget for "data."
• outsourcing system maintenance and application development
• applications moving to Software as a Service and the Cloud
2. Enterprise data consumers expect data democratization.
• versioning: point-in-time, tracking, and tagging of changes
• self-service BI and search
3. Regulators mandating transparency
4. Lower-cost storage, parallel technologies, and better tools can make it appear more simple than it is.
Deploying data to a smart, sophisticated teams for analysis isn't the only issue. A bigger challenge is consistently getting everyone - from the data analyst, to the statistical and business analyst, to the finance and operations teams - the right data at the right time. Jace will explore what it takes to get a continuous supply of [Big] Data to the Enterprise. Tool selection is just one piece of the puzzle.
