· Evaluate how data is being stored and leveraged and any potential gaps in access (applications, data warehouses, data lakes, cloud, etc.)
· Avoid roadblocks when creating an end-to-end data ecosystem
· Articulate how different teams work across the organization to develop a data platform and bring the data to life in support of the business
· Make the right decisions about on-premise, cloud, and/or hybrid cloud infrastructure with regard to the data ecosystem

Data Points: How to Thrive With a Data Ecosystem Built for the Speed of Business

In today’s market, more and more organizations are looking to become data-driven, which has fundamentally changed the role of the data architect. Organizations need new ways to differentiate themselves from the competition and deliver exceptional customer experiences, and that requires experienced data leaders to support them in that journey.

The Rise of the Business-Driven Data Architect

At the speed technology continues to evolve, pivot, and just plain re-invent itself, knowing which trends to watch is a key differentiator for transformation leaders and implementors looking to level up their agility, deliver results fast, and support the business' long-term goals, which will inevitably include AI.

Join David Menninger, Ventana Research, and Vincent Deeney, Information Builders, as they discuss the five defining data architecture trends for the modern organization.

They'll cover:

- The need for scalable data architectures and elastic data processing
- The rising importance of data quality and data governance
- Supporting unstructured data for AI-driven algorithms
- The shift in hype from Hadoop to cloud data warehouses
- The maturation of streaming data architectures

5 Modern Data Architecture Trends for an AI-Augmented Future

Over the last several decades, the business intelligence (BI) and analytics market has seen a lot of technologies and ideas come and go. Help your organisation see its way forward by tapping into the latest vision of the changing technologies, governance, and organisational structures in data-savvy organisations.

Join Jake Freivald, VP of Product Marketing at Information Builders, and guest speaker Boris Evelson, VP and principal analyst at Forrester Research, for a discussion on 2020 trends that include:

- How data-driven organisations are becoming insights-driven, and how this next-generation approach is helping them take action and develop successful outcomes

- What failures with data warehousing and data lakes have taught us about making smarter lakes, more agile warehouses, and how a combined approach is bringing insights-driven companies more success

- How AI is losing some of its hype even as it starts to show its true value

- How organisations are managing their data and analytics governance processes more effectively to achieve the business outcomes they need

Top Data and Analytics Trends in 2020

For most organizations, digital transformation is creating a complex data landscape with hundreds or even thousands of data sources and multiple workload-specific analytical data stores. In addition, with so much data pouring into the enterprise, business users are buying their own self-service data preparation tools to integrate data independently of IT.

It seems everyone is integrating data with no attempt to share what they create. More and more silos are emerging, making it harder to manage and trust data. Unaware of the complexity, business executives are demanding more agility to remain competitive in a digital economy where customers can churn at the touch of a mobile phone screen. So how can companies remain agile and reduce the time to value when data complexity is on an upward trajectory?

In this webinar Mike Ferguson address this problem and show how companies can establish a strategy for delivery of trusted, unified data that speeds up data and analytical processing and shortens time to value.

Mike will discuss:

The data-driven enterprise – vision, expectation, and thirst for new data
Data complexity and challenges caused by the thirst for data
A siloed approach to managing and governing data
Conquering complexity, governing data, and accelerating time to value
Data lake, information supply chain, and data marketplace
Simplifying access to data

Unified Data Delivery From Data Lake to Enterprise Data Marketplace

Analytics is the perfect workload for the cloud: It demands more flexibility in data management, computing power, and user access than typical operational workloads, and the cloud delivers those in spades.

Join us and AWS as we help you understand what you need to know about moving to the cloud. We’ll discuss:

- The differences in handling cloud, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud environments

This is achieved by building integrated systems of insights that bring together the right people, processes, and analytics technology in a closed-loop process.
