Real Time Operational Intelligence, Big Data, Analytics, Data Science, Enterprise Data Management, Self Service BI

European DW/BI conference with Claudia Imhoff, Mike Ferguson, Rick van der Lans and Colin White

The focus of the first 30 years of data warehousing and business intelligence was on informing business users on what had happened in the organization through enterprise and ad-hoc reports. This focus is shifting drastically. BI environments will have to show what can, may, and should happen within the organization. Analytics, big data, and agile BI are going to be keywords for a long time to come. But adopting these concepts is not a simple matter of installing a new tool. It requires re-architecting data warehouse environments; deploying new data storage technologies, such as NoSQL, Hadoop, and in-memory technology, complex event processing; applying organizational changes; and upgrading to real-time integration and embedded analytics. All these improvements will also raise the bar for integrating a highly distributed landscape.

In this unique two-day BI/DW conference, four internationally acclaimed independent BI analysts will help you find your way in this technological labyrinth and explain the organizational impact.

Some of the main topics that will be discussed these two days:

• How is big data enriching the analytical capabilities of organizations?
• New technology for developing more agile BI architectures
• The how and why of Real-Time Operational Intelligence?
• How Data Science is changing the way organizations do business
• Taming the distributed data landscape with Enterprise Data Integration
• How to embed Hadoop and NoSQL in existing data warehouse architectures?
• Self service BI – best practices and practical checklist.
