SAP HANA : Future of Data Warehousing and Bigdata Analytics

In an age of data lakes, enterprise data catalogs are becoming a necessity. Done right, machine learning data catalogs can facilitate discoverability and ensure compliance while fostering the user engagement needed to build a robust data culture. In this webinar, Andrew Brust, analyst at GigaOm Research, and Aaron Kalb, co-founder and chief data officer at Alation, discuss why people are an essential part of successful self-service analytics, and how data catalogs can help foster collaboration and analytics enthusiasm.

Today’s data-driven companies have a choice to make – where do we store our data? As the move to the cloud continues to be a driving factor, the choice becomes either the data warehouse (Snowflake et al) or the data lake (AWS S3 et al). There are pro’s and con’s for each approach. While the data warehouse will give you strong data management with analytics, they don’t do well with semi-structured and unstructured data with tightly coupled storage and compute, not to mention expensive vendor lock-in. On the other hand, data lakes allow you to store all kinds of data and are extremely affordable, but they’re only meant for storage and by themselves provide no direct value to an organization.

The Rare Disease Cures Accelerator–Data and Analytics Platform (RDCA-DAP®) is launching a new webinar series with the goal of sharing with the community examples of the use of rare disease person-level data in drug development and regulatory decision making. The series will feature 1-hour webinars highlighting analyses that have been done in individual disease areas, how they informed drug development, and how similar approaches could be applied to common drug development issues encountered in rare diseases. After each presentation time will be allowed for discussion with a panel of Quantitative and Regulatory experts around why the solutions presented were informative, lessons learned and how similar approaches could be applied to related problems.

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.
