World Conference 2012: Emerging Technologies 2013

Thu, 24 May 2012 14:14:46 PDT

What’s next? Agile, cloud computing, text analytics, virtualization, open source, cool BI, Web 2.0, social media, and mobile BI are evolving. Now the quest for insight can go beyond limited summaries and aggregations and tap all data sources, both structured and unstructured. New methods of working with big data, such as Hadoop and MapReduce, offer alternatives to traditional data warehousing, if you know how and when to use them. But how do these technologies work with our more traditional business intelligence and data warehousing (BI/DW) environments? It's been difficult enough to implement effective and valuable BI/DW solutions with existing technologies. Will these emerging technologies make your job easier or harder? TDWI is offering six days of in-depth education from industry thought leaders on how these technologies work, how you can deploy them, and the benefits they can bring to your organization.

Keynotes:

Each TDWI World Conference will feature two keynote presentations: the opening keynote on Monday and the closing keynote on Thursday. The opening keynote provides a big-picture perspective that will drive the conference theme, while the closing keynote offers a more practical, how-to look at moving forward with the conference theme.

The Renaissance Orlando Hotel at SeaWorld, directly across from SeaWorld Orlando and Discovery Cove, will serve as the official headquarters hotel for TDWI’s World Conference.

World Conference 2012: Big Data Tipping Point

Fri, 06 Apr 2012 15:40:21 PDT

How the Internet, Social Media and Streaming data are fundamentally changing DW/BI as we know it.

The race is on to create the next competitive advantage. Businesses today need to look beyond the status quo in BI and data analysis to discover fresh insights into how they can make smarter decisions, profit from customer intelligence, and optimize productivity. The answers are in the data - the BIG DATA.

Dramatic improvements in the price and performance of computer hardware and storage have made it possible to analyze massive volumes of data. Now, the quest for insight can go beyond limited summaries and aggregations and tap all data sources, both structured and unstructured. New methods of working with big data, such as Hadoop and MapReduce, offer alternatives to traditional data warehousing - if you know how and when to use them.

Keynotes:
Each world conference will have two keynote addresses, the opening keynote on Monday and the closing keynote on Thursday. The opening keynote is designed to offer a big picture perspective that will drive the conference theme. The closing keynote is designed to offer a more practical or "how to" look at moving forward with the conference theme.
