                        | Delivering value sooner and being 
adaptable to business change are two of the most important 
objectives today in developing and deploying business intelligence 
(BI) and analytics. Organizations are under pressure to adjust 
strategies and tactics to fast-changing markets and economic 
situations, and they are depending on BI and analytics to help them 
make good decisions. In addition, as more users are exposed to BI 
and analytics tools, the more they want in terms of functionality, 
data access, and other capabilities. IT organizations, used to long 
"waterfall" development cycles, are struggling to keep up -- and are 
hearing loud and clear from users that they want an end to the 
frustration. |  |

practices and technologies for real time, analytics, big data, and 
in-memory processing. The combination enables more organizations to 
credibly address time-sensitive business processes that involve big 
data and benefit from analytics. Speaker:

                      |   | Many user organizations are moving deeper 
into advanced analytics with big data because conventional wisdom 
now tells us that there are leverage-able business insights to be 
discovered in big data. However, many organizations are deploying 
teams and tools for big data analytics in silos that are 
disconnected partially or wholly from the rest of an enterprise Speaker:
