Hive replication across on-premises and cloud deployments

Today’s data-savvy companies actively seek ways to enhance their approach to analytics and evolve out of the past. While the first wave of BI involved static, rigid, IT-owned systems, and the second expanded the capabilities to a more business-facing analyst set, the third wave aims to infuse analytical activity into multiple layers of non-technical business roles. As a key strategy to enable this third wave, companies today are exploring an embedded approach that places analytical activity directly in the context of everyday user applications, and the independent software vendors (ISVs) and enterprises providing those applications have taken notice of this trend. Done efficiently, embedded analytics promotes faster deployment and pervasive usage of analytics for end-users while delivering a competitive advantage and the opportunity for new revenue streams for software vendors and enterprises.

Cloud data management CDM is simply data management that involves clouds. For example, when focused on data persistence, CDM provides cloud-native data storage and optimized processing for the burgeoning volumes of enterprise data, big data, and data from new sources that users are choosing to manage and use on clouds. When focused on integration, CDM provides data integration infrastructure (with related functions for quality and semantics) to unify multicloud and hybrid on-premises/cloud environments.

Much like project management and home improvements, Data Governance sounds a lot simpler than it actually is. In a nutshell, Data Governance can be explained as “managing data with guidance.” In general, the perceived utility of these programs increases with the specificity of desired data and processing improvements. Whether restarting or starting your Data Governance programs, it is critical to be guided by a periodically revised Data Strategy that links support for organizational strategy to specific operational data improvements. Understanding these and other aspects of governance is necessary to eliminate the ambiguity that often surrounds the implementation of effective Data Management and stewardship programs.

For a data analyst, financial analytics is one of the most useful skill sets to inculcate given the rapid growth of roles in this booming sector. A specialisation in this field will be a value-add given the rapid rise of fintech in India’s digital ecosystem. Financial analytics helps companies uncover deeper insights into the company’s finances and can help in finding pain points and new streams of revenue. Financial Analysts work in investment firms, banks, insurance sector and digital payments companies.
