Overcoming the Obstacles for Data Lake Success

Decisions made at the national and state level are affecting local communities all around the country. But these communities vary greatly. How do local leaders take control to ensure the right decisions are made for their communities? In this Webinar Series, Qlik and IPC Global will demonstrate how near real-time data and analytics can empower local leaders at K-12 and higher education institutions, and state and local government agencies to support decision making and improve service delivery.

In this webinar, we will cover the pros and cons of building a centralized data lake vs federated data mesh. Traditionally data warehouses are built on the premise of centralized data. This requires team, process and tool alignment which adds significant complexity and layers of process. Oftentimes the internal conflicts lead to subpar data management and quickly fragments to siloed data processing and insights. We will provide our unbiased view on building federated data mesh and the benefits of building an operational metrics layer.

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.

During this interview-style webcast Infogix’s Emily Washington, SVP of Product Management looked ahead in 2018 and predicted what trends will come to fruition, what new concepts will graze the horizon, and what may fail to launch.
