Journey to the Cloud, Self-Service BI, and Data Lakes with Data Virtualization

SAP and CDQ have joined forces to deliver a solution for efficient, accurate and quick business partner creation. Forget all the manual googling and document mining to get automated, reliable data. In this webinar, you get an opportunity to learn how this new standard of integrating external data into the SAP Master Data Governance can improve productivity and data quality for your organization.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and big data technologies are driving major changes in how organizations think about business intelligence and analytics. Rather than be limited to querying and reporting on just what is in traditional BI systems or data warehouses, many business users and analysts want to tap a fuller range of data in systems running Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, or on cloud data platforms and storage. At the same time, AI practices and technologies (in particular machine learning and natural language processing) are changing how users explore, analyze, and interact with data and the types of insights they can generate.

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.

What if you could directly ask questions of your data? Ask Data, Tableau’s new natural language capability, allows people to get insights by simply conversing with their data. In this latest Data Science Central webinar, members of Tableau’s Ask Data team will demonstrate how they are lowering the barrier to analytics and leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) as a tool for visual analysis. Looking to quickly make smarter, data-informed decisions and empower others to do the same? Watch this detailed overview of Ask Data’s capabilities to learn more.
