Webinar How Big Data Changes Everything

The impact of Big Data on the traditional Data Warehouse and Analytics Environment
   
 

The age of Big DATA - terabytes of information within a company's information systems - has arrived, and it's changing everything. Companies running ERP, CRM and web solutions have been generating gigabytes of data for years. Add to that the data now available from user generated content, mobile web, social networks, click stream and external data sets, and what was once large gigabytes of information has become large terabytes of information. What is the impact of all this data on the traditional data warehouse and the analytics environment? What are the benefits of harnessing Big Data? We'll address these issues, as well as key enabling technology and delivery differences.

Webinar Using System Profiler

Webinar Filling the Knowledge Gap
Big DATA and Rich Computation
   
Aster Data Systems The age of Big DATA - terabytes of information within a company's information systems - has arrived. Companies running ERP, CRM and web solutions have been generating gigabytes of data for years. Add to that the data now available from user generated content, mobile web, social networks, click stream and external data sets, and what was once large gigabytes of information has become large terabytes of information. With all this additional data at your fingertips, the business question becomes, how do we monetize this explosion in data?

Join us for a discussion as to how companies such as Myspace, ShareThis, and SpecificMedia have leveraged this next generation of database technology available from
Aster Data Systems and Analytics8, to access, analyze and provide the insight necessary to monetize this explosion of data.
