Presentation: “How Hadoop Compliments and Extends EDWs” by Ryan Wieber, Cloudera |
|
Abstract
The Enterprise Data Warehouse has long been the focal playground for analytical insights. Data Warehouse solutions have existed for many years that met the demands of core company data and systems. However, as we open up analytical access to more users and bring in more, complex data types, the data warehouse resources become constrained.
In this presentation, Ryan will discuss how Hadoop's revolutionary architecture compliments the EDW by opening the door to higher volumes and more diverse data sets than are possible to analyze with conventional RDBMSs, and additionally offer a whole series of new forms of integrated analysis. |
10:00 – 10:15 am |

Presentation: " The Case for the Chief Data Officer” by Peter Aiken
Founding Director, Data Blueprint |
|
Abstract
Reflections on organizational IT performance, combined with decisive performance measurements, indicate that IT management has been asked to do a job that it cannot do well. Data are assets that deserve to be managed as professionally and aggressively as comparable organizational assets. Studies show that approximately 10% of organizations achieve a positive return on their investments in data. In the face of the accelerating “data explosion,” this leaves most organizations unprepared to leverage a non-degrading, strategic asset. The redress assigns this vital, lacking function to its rightful owner and driver, the business. Transformation may require some organizational discomfort. We are confident organizations that successfully create CDOs will achieve improved organizational performance results. And further that these will directly and obviously come from better organizational data management stemming from the CDO leadership. |
