Actian transforms business by simplifying how people connect, manage, and analyze data. Our Avalanche Cloud Data Platform delivers on that promise with enterprise-proven data integration, data management, and data analytics services in a trusted, flexible, and easy-to-use platform.

Stephen Catanzano, Senior Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, is joined by Emma McGrattan, Senior Vice President of Engineering at Actian, to discuss the Avalanche Cloud Platform and how it can help deliver real-time analytics to drive responsive decision-making. 

This discussion is centered around how Actian is helping organizations deal with the new normal of utilizing their data to make decisions faster, to work more efficiently, streamline processes, increase profits, innovate faster, and even build a competitive advantage.  Emma shows great examples of companies utilizing Actian and the benefits achieved. 

Key Takeaways: 

- The Enterprise Strategy Group recently completed an Economic Validation of the Avalanche Cloud Platform, which is available for download. The study found that organizations using the platform resulted in quantifiable savings of 42% based on an annual cost of data analytics storage and activities and as high as 70% in some scenarios. 

- The Enterprise Strategy Group research found that only 4% of organizations are currently able to provide real-time data insights and enable data-driven decision making for their organization. 

- The Avalanche Cloud Platform empowers organizations of any size to achieve real-time insights into their data for fast, accurate business and consumer decision-making on premises, in the cloud or using a hybrid approach at scale.

Data’s New Normal: Utilizing Data for Faster, More Effective Decisions

The explosion of data volumes in the past decade has given companies unparalleled insight into their operations and the success of their services. This has unquestionably been a boon for the businesses that have incorporated data services into their operations, but it’s come with an unintended consequence, having to sort out the data that matters. 

Business leaders often do not have the luxury of waiting weeks to make critical decisions. When problems arise, they need to be empowered with the right data and the right analysis to set their company on the correct course. Clearing this obstacle for business leaders are business analytics programs that provide them the information they need, when they need it. 

In Actian’s ‘Maximizing Business Success in an Uncertain World with Real-Time Analytics,’ we’ll explore how Actian’s Avalanche Cloud Platform delivers the analytics decision makers need in a world that is constantly changing. 

Topics for discussion include: 
-The importance of data-analytics in the modern business environment
-How disruptions at the macro and micro-level are increasing the need for agility in decision making
-The need for companies to reduce their time to react at critical business junctures
-How data analytics can make companies more intelligent
-And more

The economics, simplicity, and numerous services of cloud computing are enticing many organizations to modernize their information management environments through migration to the cloud. However, migration is not simple, and a thoughtful approach to incrementally evolve a hybrid cloud data environment will help mitigate risks versus attempting to completely migrate all systems at once.

This incremental approach means that for some time into the future, organizations will have to juggle supporting a pool of existing legacy (in most cases on-premises) reporting and analytics applications with the design, development, and implementation of newer applications deployed across one or more cloud environments—as well as navigating the on-premises/cloud boundaries. In this webinar, we explore aspects of the hybrid cloud environment and suggest some steps for simplifying the management of a hybrid cloud data warehouse.

Attendees will learn about:

- Using data federation across environments
- Leveraging universal connectivity
- Opacity versus transparency for data access
- Managing multicloud deployments
- Managing data pipelines
