                        | There is considerable buzz in the IT 
industry about in-memory technologies. At the same time, there is

analytics. They want to understand how to approach big data and 
where they stand relative to other companies, especially their 
competitors. In October 2013, TDWI launched its Big Data Maturity 
Model Assessment Tool, which can help to guide IT and business 
professionals on their big data journey. The assessment looks at 
companies across five dimensions that impact maturity, including

governance. Speaker:
