Forthcoming webinar on ‘big data’ and the ‘single version of the truth’

April 17th, 2013 — Data management

Many enterprises were persuaded to adopt enterprise data warehousing (EDW) technology to achieve a ‘single version of the truth’ for enterprise data.

In reality, the promises were rarely fulfilled with many stories of failed, lengthy and over budget projects. Even if an EDW project reached deployment, the warehouse schema is designed to answer a specific set of queries and is inflexible to change and accommodate growing variety of data.

On April 30 at 1pm ET I’ll be taking part in a webinar with NGDATA to discuss whether ‘big data’ technologies such as Hadoop, HBase and Solr can deliver on the promise of “single version of truth” by providing a real-time, 360° view of customers and products.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • Why the inflexibility of EDWs failed to deliver 360° view
  • How big data technologies can finally make 360° view a reality
  • Overview of an interactive Big Data management solution
  • Best practices and success stories from leading companies
