Webinar Speaker: Fern Halper, TDWI VP Research, Senior Research Director for Advanced Analytics
Date: Thursday, April 21, 2022
Time: 9:00 a.m. PT, 12:00 p.m. ET
As data and analytics environments become increasingly complex, organizations can no longer afford to perform many operations manually. According to TDWI research, automation (in general) is one of the top three priorities for analytics. We see automation occurring throughout the data and analytics life cycle. Automation increasingly leverages embedded AI/ML algorithms (i.e., infused in the software) to help perform tasks such as profiling and cleansing data, identifying sensitive data, data mapping, surfacing insights, or building machine learning models.
Automation becomes especially important in the cloud where there are higher volumes of diverse data that need to be managed and more complex analytics that are often run in platforms such as cloud data lakes. Attend this TDWI webinar to learn more about automating data and analytics processes in the cloud. Topics include:
- Why automation is important in cloud data and analytics environments
- The kinds of tools that are used for automation across the data and analytics life cycle
- Governance considerations for automated tooling
- Best practices for automating data and analytics in the cloud
