Achieving Faster and More Agile BI and Analytics with Virtual Data Processing

Speed, agility, and intelligence are competitive advantages that nearly all organizations seek. To seize these advantages, organizations require timely, diverse, complete, and accurate data. Unfortunately, traditional data warehouse extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) processes are not fast enough. They put too much burden on ETL developers to understand every nuance of every data source, and it’s getting worse as Hadoop and other big data sources become part of the mix. How can organizations take advantage of new big data sources to deliver complete and diverse views of data—and get beyond the limits of traditional data warehouses?

Cloud BI: Demystifying the Issues

Cloud BI has been positioned as the next evolution in business intelligence because of the advantages it provides in terms of flexibility and elasticity. However, there is still confusion in the market around moving to a cloud model, and cloud BI adoption has been slow, although interest seems to be increasing. For instance, in a recent TDWI survey, a majority of respondents were either already using the cloud or were considering it for BI and analytics.

Stream Processing: Streaming Data in Real Time In-Memory

As big data continues to grow bigger and become more diverse and more real-time, forward-looking organizations are looking to manage and analyze this data using advanced analytics in an environment that might include multiple approaches and technologies. For real-time streaming data this could include utilizing technologies that support in-memory processing, where data and mathematical computations are performed in RAM rather than on disk, enabling processing thousands of times faster than data access from disk.

Visual Dashboards for Self-Service BI

A picture can paint a thousand numbers and broaden the appeal of BI tools. A fiercely competitive business environment demands more agility and shorter time to insight. These forces have given rise to visual data discovery tools as a new module in the BI portfolio. Specialty BI vendors are growing rapidly and BI platform vendors have rushed to add visual discovery capabilities to their portfolios.

Making Predictive Analytics Consumable

Predictive analytics is a powerful technology that is rapidly becoming mainstream. It is being used across industries to understand and predict customer behavior, detect fraud, determine outcomes, and much more. An important trend in the market is the move to make the output from predictive analytics more consumable by end users.

Choosing Data Visualizations to Satisfy User Requirements

Data visualization is hot, but just giving users a library of visual objects will not make them suddenly more productive with data. It is important to match requirements with the right visualization options. Users need data visualization for a variety of business intelligence and analytics activities.

Moving Analytics to the Cloud: Are You Ready?

TDWI has seen a growing interest in utilizing the cloud for deploying reporting platforms, analytic tools, data warehouses, and other databases—and for good reason. The fluid allocation of resources that is typical of a cloud lends itself to analytic projects, especially those utilizing big data. A number of cloud use cases are emerging.
