The data and analytics landscape is changing. Although many organizations are still analyzing structured data from their data warehouse, TDWI research indicates organizations have increasing interest in analyzing disparate kinds of data. This data is often large in volume and can require modernizing data infrastructures and platforms. The industry around big data and data science and the emerging role of the data scientist is one result of this evolution/revolution.

IT operations management (ITOM) deals with monitoring and controlling IT infrastructure and services such as networks, servers, and help desk. Today, IT management typically relies on “swivel chair” monitoring between unrelated reactive monitoring tools. However, this is changing. Modern, interrelated IT departments can benefit from a single view across IT to improve root cause analysis and reduce meantime to resolution.

It’s no surprise that data warehouse professionals are quickly adopting Hadoop. According to a recent TDWI survey, the number of deployed Hadoop clusters is up 60% over two years. While Hadoop is an effective design pattern for capturing and quickly ingesting a wide range of raw data types, there have been a number of challenges organizations have faced in realizing the true business value from their Hadoop-based data lakes.

In today’s demanding economic environment, companies that can develop and deploy analytics faster have a significant competitive edge. They can use analytics to detect patterns and changes in markets, learn customer preferences, be alert to fraudulent activity, and more. With the advent of cloud computing, users quickly gain access to new data sources and analytic techniques, enabling companies to finally unleash their analytics – they are no longer constrained by the limits of their on-premises computing, database platform, data warehouse, and data storage capacity. However, to avoid even more data siloes, data governance issues, and more, organizations should consider a hybrid analytics architecture that brings together on premises and cloud, enabling a more controlled journey to the cloud, while enjoying the flexibility, power, and speed they need to handle a range of analytics demands.
