Upcoming Webinar: BI and Big Data: Stick with the Classics – or Change Your Approach?

Master Data Management (MDM) partner, Datameer, will be sponsoring TDWI’s webinar on Business Intelligence (BI) and big data analytics. The webinar will take place on the 27th of October 2016 at 09:30am CEST, highlighting how the latest BI approaches differ and addressing a key issue when choosing an approach.

Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark are two leading Big Data platforms, and they’ve finally gone mainstream. That’s both good news and bad, because with mainstream use comes scrutiny. And in scrutinising Big Data, some organisations are finding internal adoption – and thus Return on Investment (ROI) – is low. That’s a normal part of a technology’s adoption cycle, of course. But what’s the best response?

Gary Allemann, MD at Master Data Management says, “One approach has been to craft technologies that mesh the “old” — Business Intelligence (BI) – with the “new” – Big Data. Relational Data Warehousing on Hadoop and OLAP on Hadoop are prime examples. Another approach has been to build Modern BI tools that are intuitive to business users but which use the new technologies in fundamentally new ways, without making them emulate older platforms.”

Join us for this TDWI webinar, BI and Big Data: Stick with the Classics – or Change Your Approach, as Marcus Pilz a Member of the Board at TDWI Germany and Andrew Brust Senior Director, Market Strategy and Intelligence at Datameer, will discuss:

• How Data Warehousing on Hadoop and OLAP on Hadoop tools work
• How Modern BI tools’ approaches differ
• Providing a demo of how to use a Modern BI tool to do free-form analysis. They will also see how such a product can provide Data Warehouse – and OLAP-like functionality when required
