Program Description

Information is power. Big data, when managed properly, provides valuable insight for business intelligence, security, operation, and compliance. Organizations that fail to utilize their data often fall behind, struggle to compete with data savvy information rich competitors, and lose market share. Our program will address two perspectives, the systems view which considers hardware, storage, as well as data integration aspects; and the business intelligence/analytics perspective.

Please join us for a panel discussion on the use of Big Data by organizations to derive actionable intelligence, discover new markets, penetrate further into existing markets, and drive innovation.
