Modernize Data Warehousing with Hadoop, Data Virtualization, and In-Memory Techniques

A growing number of user organizations are under pressure to capture and manage big data, as well as get business value from big data by analyzing it. To achieve these goals, many organizations are extending and revamping their data warehouse (DW) environments. According to TDWI surveys, the new technologies being adopted most by users who are modernizing their DWs include: Hadoop, Data virtualization, and In-memory techniques.

How Data Science Is Changing the Way Companies Do Business

Data scientists are a new type of analyst—part data engineer, part statistician, and part business analyst. And they're in high demand. Companies are combing through résumés and job websites, interviewing recent university grads, and poaching from their competitors in an effort to bring these new talents into their organizations. Of course, we’ve had statistical analysts in our organizations for years. Unfortunately, although these people are great at analyzing data, they are not always the best at explaining their findings to executives and business workers in understandable terms.

Social Media Analytics: Getting Beyond Tracking the Buzz

There are more than 100 vendors offering social media analytics tools, but the reality is that many of them simply track “buzz”—meaning the volume of tweets, blogs, news items, and other places a brand name or topic might appear in social media during a certain time period.

Business-Driven BI and Analytics

Self-reliant and less dependent on IT, business executives and departmental/LOB managers and users are deploying the latest tools, services, and applications for business intelligence, analytics, and data discovery. Although IT is hardly disappearing from the picture, IT needs to adjust how it manages access to data sources and governs BI and analytics. Enterprise BI/DW systems also need to accommodate how users customize their BI and analytics as they see fit based on their roles. As BI and analytics tools become easier to use and more flexible, the trend toward business users directing their own BI and analytics experiences will accelerate.

Information integration is critical for becoming smarter with data. Across all industries, organizations want to use data analytics to discover how they can reduce costs without sacrificing quality and effectiveness. Firms both large and small want to pull diverse data streams together. Users can then uncover insights and innovate at a faster pace than their competition.

The Data Warehouse Modernization Tipping Point

Changes in the way that today’s business transpires have slowly been cutting away at the ability to meet fully the needs of data consumers. At some point, those who manage the data warehouse will hit a threshold or boiling point that will make modernization mandatory.
