  • GDPR: What It Means for Analytics and Data Management

    The deadline for complying with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is fast approaching. The EU calls it “the most important change in data privacy regulation in 20 years” – and that’s no exaggeration. Beginning May 25, 2018, organizations that are in non-compliance may face heavy fines, not to mention damage to their reputations. How does this regulation affect the way your organization uses data for analytics and business intelligence? What do you need to do from a data management perspective to ensure compliance – not just by May 25, but into the future? April 30, 2018 Register

  • Analytics Everywhere: Building Analytics Applications for Driving Business Value

    Analytics has become mainstream, and TDWI research indicates that the vast majority of organizations have adopted technologies such as dashboards and visual analytics. However, as organizations mature along their analytics journey, they are looking to embed their analytics into devices, applications, and systems. Embedding analytics layers analytics into another application or process and brings the results of analysis to the decision maker through applications that run the business. The result is opening up analytics to more users and making analytics relevant, actionable, and more valuable. May 30, 2018 Register

  • The Automation and Optimization of Advanced Analytics based on Machine Learning

    However, embracing machine learning successfully is challenged by ML’s serious data requirements. In development, designing an analytic model depends on very large volumes of diverse data. In production, an analytic model created via machine learning again needs voluminous data, so it can learn and improve over time. In turn, managing big data for machine learning demands a substantial data management infrastructure and tool portfolio. May 31, 2018 Register

Ask the Expert: Demystifying Semantics and Ontologies
TDWI Members Only

We hear more and more about semantics these days, but what does it mean? What is an ontology and how does it relate to a data model? Do semantics and ontologies have a role to play in data architecture and data modeling?

Six Strategies for Balancing Risk with Data Value

Managing data for value is a business-oriented focus on the potential of data. It complements the all-too-common obsession with data’s technical requirements. Data value recognizes that data is a valuable business asset and should be leveraged accordingly. If you are managing data for value, your asset portfolio of data should be protected, grown, and governed.

Building Trusted Data Through Deep Profiling and Analysis with Machine Learning

Data environments are becoming increasingly complex. Many organizations are employing what TDWI terms a multiplatform data architecture to manage new and disparate data sources. This might include the data warehouse along with other platforms, such as a data lake or a streaming platform. The cloud might be an important part of this architecture as well. This data is often used to gain insights as organizations become more analytically sophisticated. In fact, analytics is the top driver for modern data architectures.

Applying the Power of AI to Data Catalogs: How artificial intelligence can make it easier for users to share knowledge and collaborate

Data catalogs are increasingly critical as more users engage in self-service analytics and business intelligence and seek access to a wider variety of data types and sources. Many organizations fear that allowing users more self-service access and analysis will result in data chaos, especially if those sources exist outside IT-managed platforms such as an enterprise data warehouse. Data catalogs help organizations combat data chaos by enabling them to manage and govern distributed data assets more effectively. With an effective data catalog, organizations curate data so that users can trust sources and gain insights faster.

Modernizing Your Data Pipeline for Better Analytics

Organizations are excited about analyzing ever-increasing amounts of disparate data, and they are often looking at advanced analytics to do so. Underpinning this move toward better insight and action is an evolving data infrastructure that is multiplatform in nature. TDWI sees increasing interest in the cloud, streaming platforms, and data lakes to support diverse data types for analysis. These platforms and others are coming together in modern data architectures that enable analytics and drive analytics success.

Ask the Expert about the Role of Data Visualization on Data Validation
TDWI Members Only

Data visualization has become a standard part of the business intelligence fair. It is now expected that a business intelligence team include a rich set of graphics in the tooling used across the business. In the real-time world, we are faced with the challenge of handling data streams directly from operational tools. This real-time data when presented visually tend to immediately skew to highlight outliers and exceptions in the data.

Delivering Trusted Data for a 360-Degree View: New Strategies for Governance and Master Data Management

Nothing can ruin analytics faster than bad data. If users lose trust in the data, they will lose confidence in analytics and be unable to put insights into action. Organizations are facing new challenges with the rising demand of self-service analytics plus users’ growing interest in big and varied data sources. It’s a competitive advantage today for organizations if they can integrate and blend data to gain 360-degree views of customers and other subjects of interest. The tough question is: With democratization, new data, governance requirements, and business pressures to realize value, how do you ensure essential trust in the data?
