A Platform for 2-Tier BI and Analytics

The analytics landscape is experiencing a significant transformation. With massive volumes of data, more data living outside the enterprise data warehouse, and increasing user demand for speed, autonomy, and agility, organizations are struggling with an increasing divide between end users and centralized IT/BI teams. The centralized teams, gatekeepers of mission-critical data, are burdened with legacy technologies, reporting requirements, and older processes, all of which prevent them from meeting the business’s speed demands. End users, driven by a thirst for data-driven daily decisions, have kickstarted their own analytic initiatives on decentralized data using desktop discovery tools. These “Shadow BI” initiatives have increased end-user autonomy, but have also created analytical silos and inconsistencies in data analysis, further hampering the desire for datadriven decisions.

Effective Data Management Is Essential for Taming the 5G Network Complexity Beast

whitePaper | September 26, 2022

Cloudification of network functions — virtualized network functions (VNFs) and cloud-native network functions (CNFs) — is placing new burdens on old systems and processes not designed to manage intent-based network architecture. Silos of data locked within many installed systems keep transformation efforts from reaching anticipated objectives.
