As businesses strive to advance digital transformation efforts, legacy architectures can be a significant obstacle to enabling the agility required to succeed in today's ever-changing data landscape. Many enterprises struggle with scaling the delivery of data and analytics to accommodate the growing array of data domains, users, and use cases. As a result, data mesh and data fabric architectures are on the rise with the aim of abstracting data management complexity, increasing data availability, and fostering greater collaboration.

Many of the most exciting innovations and advancements in data management today are occurring within the semantic layer of data architectures. For example, we’re witnessing new or improved approaches to semantic modeling, data cataloging, data lineage, and more. Even older forms of semantics—such as metadata and virtualization—are being infused with new techniques for augmentation and automation, including intelligent tool algorithms driven by machine learning and the use of graph analytics to generate data maps and automatically document data elements found via graph.

Brand new research published from Dresner Advisory Services digs deeply into the trends in 2018 around big data analytics. Where are organizations heading in 2019? How are analytic and data warehouse architectures evolving to enable faster and deeper self-service analytics and BI for organizations looking to create a competitive edge? How is public, private and hybrid clouds factoring into deployment decisions? What are the hottest open source projects from Apache Spark to Kudu, Kafka, Hadoop, and beyond?

The entire business community — not just your data experts — uses data. How do you build a “village” of stakeholders throughout the organization to execute a data governance program? And how can a data catalog accelerate adoption?
