continuous delivery of high-priority value to business stakeholders 
and less on making sure each worker is always busy. We explain how 
your BI program will benefit by limiting developer multi-
tasking. |  
                        |  |  | Linda Briggs"Hadoop will radically change the cost 
structure of managing data, and thus of ETL," according to 
Syncsort's Jorge A. Lopez. Despite that, he says, organizations 
embarking on Hadoop ETL initiatives must realize that Hadoop is not 
a complete ETL solution on its own.  |

                        | Organizations today need to get ahead of 
events so they can adjust decisions about resources, personnel, up-
sell and cross-sell offers, fraud and abuse detection, and more in 
dynamic fashion. Analytics can play a key role in bringing 
predictive insights to executives and managers. With these insights 
coupled with continuous, real-time data views from business and 
operational intelligence systems, organizations can be "proactive" -
- that is, they can do more than just react after the fact to events 
and market changes, and instead shape their own destiny. |  |

                      |   | As user organizations dive deeper into 
big data analytics, many are depending more heavily than ever on 
SQL-based, ad hoc queries as their primary method for data 
exploration and discovery analytics (sometimes called investigative 
analytics). At the same time, the same organizations are adopting or 
considering Hadoop as their primary storage platform for big data. 
SQL-based analytics and Hadoop are good choices in isolation, but 
bringing them together has a catch: Hadoop's support for queries is 
minimal at the moment. Speaker:

                      |   | Just a few years ago, big data was a 
problem in terms of scaling up IT systems and discovering the 
business value. Thanks to advances in vendor platforms and user 
practices, most enterprises today consider big data an opportunity -
-not a problem -- because they can mine and analyze it for valuable 
business insight. Speaker:
