Getting Started with TAP (Trusted Analytics Platform) + Open Forum LIVE

In companies today, numerous documents are in circulation. Yet the data inside needs to be captured so it can be used for further processing. Just think about how the Finance team needs access to data in invoices. Or how the market analytics department needs access to utility bill data to perform market research. Brokers who need to retrieve data from purchase orders, IT departments that require data extraction as a part of a paperless workflow. The list goes on.

Big data technologies can be both complex and involve time consuming manual processes. Organizations that intelligently automate big data operations lower their costs, make their teams more productive, scale more efficiently, and reduce the risk of failure. In our webinar, representatives from TiVo, creator of a digital recording platform for television content, will explain how they implemented a new big data and analytics platform that dynamically scales in response to changing demand. You’ll learn how the solution enables TiVo to easily orchestrate big data clusters using Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC2) and Amazon EC2 Spot instances that read data from a data lake on Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and how this reduces the development cost and effort needed to support its network and advertiser users. TiVo will share lessons learned and best practices for quickly and affordably ingesting, processing, and making available for analysis terabytes of streaming and batch viewership data from millions of households.

Data scientists’ time is valuable. Computing resources are expensive. With only 87% of projects ever making it to production (Source: VentureBeat), organizations often overcommit to costly projects that bear little fruit. Data science teams need a way to assess project feasibility without diving head first.

Data tends to pile up and can be rendered unusable or obsolete without careful maintenance processes. Reference and Master Data Management (MDM) has been a popular Data Management approach to effectively gain mastery over not just the data but the supporting architecture for processing it. This webinar presents MDM as a strategic approach to improving and formalizing practices around those data items that provide context for many organizational transactions: its master data. Too often, MDM has been implemented technology-first and achieved the same very poor track record (one-third succeeding on-time, within budget, and achieving planned functionality). MDM success depends on a coordinated approach typically involving Data Governance and Data Quality activities.
