Streaming Analytics for Real-Time Action – Best Practices for Getting Started

More often, organizations are realizing that analyzing data in motion- i.e., data that arrives continuously as a sequence of instances- can provide substantial business value. This data comes from sensors, social media feeds, traffic feeds, and much more. TDWI has seen growing interest in event stream processing as well as the real-time, continuous analysis of streaming data.

Improving Data Preparation for Business Analytics

Data preparation is a hot topic today because modern technologies and practices are finally giving users and IT an alternative to traditionally slow, manual, and tedious steps for getting data ready for business intelligence (BI) and analytics. Data preparation covers a range of processes that begin during the ingestion of raw, structured, and unstructured data. Processes are then needed to improve data quality and completeness, standardize how it is defined for communities of users and applications, and perform transformation steps to make the data suitable for BI and analytics.

Accelerating Analytic Insights via the Hybrid Cloud

More often, organizations are looking to the cloud for analytics. The cloud can provide flexibility, elasticity, and convenience. Organizations are using the cloud for a range of business use cases from reporting and sandboxes to production and IoT analytics, and much more. Cloud analytic services offerings are evolving too and becoming more popular – especially with business customers. As a Service (aaS) offerings can target specific subject areas such as churn-detection-as-a-service or fraud-detection-as-a-service. These can help to jump start improved business outcomes much faster than in-house efforts.

Data Preparation for the Rest of Us!

Data preparation for analytics used to reside solely within the IT teams with savvy technical resources. With businesses leaning towards self-service analytics, business analysts and data scientists need data prepared their way on their schedule, not based on IT availability, to drive business forward. Data preparation does not replace traditional data integration or ETL but is complementary to existing business intelligence solutions and allows the business user to easily access the integrated data and combine it with other sets of data thereby realizing the ROI on your BI and analytics investment beyond what your IT teams can deliver.

Getting to the Next Level with Visual Analytics and Governed Data Discovery

Dull reports and static bar charts are old news: Business users today are excited about modern visual analytics, data discovery, and intuitive business intelligence. Tools, applications, and cloud-based services are making it easier for users to derive powerful, actionable insights from a widening array of data. Users across organizations may finally have an alternative to limited spreadsheets and BI reports – and to waiting in IT’s backlog for developers to give them what they need.

Delivering Business Value Faster with Visual Data Discovery

Hidden inside data are insights that could change the game for your business – that is, if your decision makers can discover and apply them in time to make a difference! Nothing is more frustrating to business users than having to wait out long IT development cycles for business intelligence (BI) tools and data warehousing systems just to gain access to the data they need right now. Fortunately, with the advent of visual analytics and discovery tools, the journey to data insight is getting easier and faster. Cloud computing is accelerating time to business value even further by giving organizations the option of bypassing the delays and difficulties of on-premises deployment.
