We are increasingly coming upon an age where technology is a strong enabler of business success, where there are strong synergies between business strategy and technology strategy. You often cannot discuss business strategy without data and related technologies being a big part of it. And as such, business leaders are increasingly turning to IT to compete more effectively in the market. As IT management, it falls upon you to ensure that your data technology architecture (software & hardware) is built in a way that it can handle the business demands of today and in to the future. In this session, we will discuss the various big data technology architectures and associated tools, and what role each should play in your data environment. We will also give real life examples of how others are using these technologies. Build a better data architecture, to unlock the power of all data.
