As anyone who has ever had need to understand the data model which underpins SAP or SAP BW to assist in a project will tell you... it is often a difficult, time consuming and costly exercise and not easy to ensure accuracy. In this webinar we explore the problem, discuss how Boeing, RS Components and Hydro Tasmania have used Safyr from Silwood Technology to meet this challenge and at the same time reduce the time, cost and risk associated with it.
When the IT department of a large US oil and gas company was tasked with improving the way in which vast amounts of data were analysed, manipulated and disseminated, it investigated a number of tools that would enable users to explore, document and visualise data structures for its large SAP(r) enterprise application, before deciding to implement Safyr.
The Big Data Journey – How Companies Adopt Hadoop - StampedeCon 2016StampedeCon
Hadoop adoption is a journey. Depending on the business the process can take weeks, months, or even years. Hadoop is a transformative technology so the challenges have less to do with the technology and more to do with how a company adapts itself to a new way of thinking about data. There are challenges for companies who have lived with an application driven business for the last two decades to suddenly become data driven. Companies need to begin thinking less in terms of single, silo’d servers and more about “the cluster”.
The concept of the cluster becomes the center of data gravity drawing all the applications to it. Companies, especially the IT organizations, embark on a process of understanding how to maintain and operationalize this environment and provide the data lake as a service to the businesses. They must empower the business by providing the resources for the use cases which drive both renovation and innovation. IT needs to adopt new technologies and new methodologies which enable the solutions. This is not technology for technology sake. Hadoop is a data platform servicing and enabling all facets of an organization. Building out and expanding this platform is the ongoing journey as word gets out to businesses that they can have any data they want and any time. Success is what drives the journey.
The length of the journey varies from company to company. Sometimes the challenges are based on the size of the company but many times the challenges are based on the difficulty of unseating established IT processes companies have adopted without forethought for the past two decades. Companies must navigate through the noise. Sifting through the noise to find those solutions which bring real value takes time. As the platform matures and becomes mainstream, more and more companies are finding it easier to adopt Hadoop. Hundreds of companies have already taken many steps; hundreds more have already taken the first step. As the wave of successful Hadoop adoption continues, more and more companies will see the value in starting the journey and paving the way for others.
Against the backdrop of Big Data, the Chief Data Officer, by any name, is emerging as the central player in the business of data, including cybersecurity. The MITCDOIQ Symposium explored the developing landscape, from local organizational issues to global challenges, through case studies from industry, academic, government and healthcare leaders.
Joe Caserta, president at Caserta Concepts, presented "Big Data's Impact on the Enterprise" at the MITCDOIQ Symposium.
Presentation Abstract: Organizations are challenged with managing an unprecedented volume of structured and unstructured data coming into the enterprise from a variety of verified and unverified sources. With that is the urgency to rapidly maximize value while also maintaining high data quality.
Today we start with some history and the components of data governance and information quality necessary for successful solutions. I then bring it all to life with 2 client success stories, one in healthcare and the other in banking and financial services. These case histories illustrate how accurate, complete, consistent and reliable data results in a competitive advantage and enhanced end-user and customer satisfaction.

Hadoop is arguably one of the most disruptive technologies of the last decade. Once lauded solely for its ability to transform the speed of batch processing, it has marched steadily forward and promulgated an array of performance-enhancing accessories, notably Spark and YARN. Hadoop has evolved into much more than a file system and batch processor, and it now promises to stand as the data management and analytics backbone for enterprises.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to learn from veteran Analyst Rick van der Lans, as he discusses the emerging roles of Hadoop within the analytics ecosystem. He’ll be briefed by Ron Bodkin of Think Big, a Teradata Company, who will explore Hadoop’s maturity spectrum, from typical entry use cases all the way up the value chain. He’ll show how enterprises that already use Hadoop in production are finding new ways to exploit its power and build creative, dynamic analytics environments.

Agile Big Data Analytics Development: An Architecture-Centric ApproachSoftServe
Presented at The Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences by Hong-Mei Chen and Rick Kazman (University of Hawaii), Serge Haziyev (SoftServe).
Data Lakes are early in the Gartner hype cycle, but companies are getting value from their cloud-based data lake deployments. Break through the confusion between data lakes and data warehouses and seek out the most appropriate use cases for your big data lakes.
Meaning making – separating signal from noise. How do we transform the customer's next input into an action that creates a positive customer experience? We make the data more intelligent, so that it is able to guide our actions. The Data Lake builds on Big Data strengths by automating many of the manual development tasks, providing several self-service features to end-users, and an intelligent management layer to organize it all. This results in lower cost to create solutions, "smart" analytics, and faster time to business value.

While the disciplines of business intelligence and discovery certainly overlap, there are key distinctions between the two, both in terms of design point and user interface. While traditionally it is believed different architectures are required to address these differing analytic needs, is that really the case? Or is discovery simply another key capability within an overall BI platform?
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to learn from veteran Analyst John O'Brien of Radiant Advisors as he outlines best practices for enabling high-quality business intelligence and discovery, and the architectural capabilities to enable both. He'll be briefed by Brad Peters of Birst who will tout his company's cloud BI platform.

When and How Data Lakes Fit into a Modern Data ArchitectureDATAVERSITY
Whether to take data ingestion cycles off the ETL tool and the data warehouse or to facilitate competitive Data Science and building algorithms in the organization, the data lake – a place for unmodeled and vast data – will be provisioned widely in 2020.
Though it doesn’t have to be complicated, the data lake has a few key design points that are critical, and it does need to follow some principles for success. Avoid building the data swamp, but not the data lake! The tool ecosystem is building up around the data lake and soon many will have a robust lake and data warehouse. We will discuss policy to keep them straight, send data to its best platform, and keep users’ confidence up in their data platforms.
Data lakes will be built in cloud object storage. We’ll discuss the options there as well.

Big Data Made Easy: A Simple, Scalable Solution for Getting Started with HadoopPrecisely
With so many new, evolving frameworks, tools, and languages, a new big data project can lead to confusion and unwarranted risk.
Many organizations have found Data Warehouse Optimization with Hadoop to be a good starting point on their Big Data journey. Offloading ETL workloads from the enterprise data warehouse (EDW) into Hadoop is a well-defined use case that produces tangible results for driving more insights while lowering costs. You gain significant business agility, avoid costly EDW upgrades, and free up EDW capacity for faster queries. This quick win builds credibility and generates savings to reinvest in more Big Data projects.
A proven reference architecture that includes everything you need in a turnkey solution – the Hadoop distribution, data integration software, servers, networking and services – makes it even easier to get started.
Is your big data journey stalling? Take the Leap with Capgemini and ClouderaCloudera, Inc.
Transitioning to a Big Data architecture is a big step; and the complexity of moving existing analytical services onto modern platforms like Cloudera, can seem overwhelming.

Why Your Data Science Architecture Should Include a Data Virtualization Tool ...Denodo
Watch full webinar here: https://bit.ly/35FUn32
Presented at CDAO New Zealand
Advanced data science techniques, like machine learning, have proven an extremely useful tool to derive valuable insights from existing data. Platforms like Spark, and complex libraries for R, Python, and Scala put advanced techniques at the fingertips of the data scientists.
However, most architecture laid out to enable data scientists miss two key challenges:
- Data scientists spend most of their time looking for the right data and massaging it into a usable format
- Results and algorithms created by data scientists often stay out of the reach of regular data analysts and business users
Watch this session on-demand to understand how data virtualization offers an alternative to address these issues and can accelerate data acquisition and massaging. And a customer story on the use of Machine Learning with data virtualization.
Architecting Agile Data Applications for ScaleDatabricks
Data analytics and reporting platforms historically have been rigid, monolithic, hard to change and have limited ability to scale up or scale down. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard a business user ask for something as simple as an additional column in a report and IT says it will take 6 months to add that column because it doesn’t exist in the datawarehouse. As a former DBA, I can tell you the countless hours I have spent “tuning” SQL queries to hit pre-established SLAs. This talk will talk about how to architect modern data and analytics platforms in the cloud to support agility and scalability. We will include topics like end to end data pipeline flow, data mesh and data catalogs, live data and streaming, performing advanced analytics, applying agile software development practices like CI/CD and testability to data applications and finally taking advantage of the cloud for infinite scalability both up and down.

Using Safyr to navigate and analyse SAP data model demonstration screen shotsRoland Bullivant
These are screenshots captured during a live demonstration of Safyr for SAP.
The session illustrates the speed and ease with which a data analyst or architect can locate and use the tables and related tables which are required for a data or information management project.
Safyr does not require that the user has an in-depth knowledge of the target package - in this case SAP.
Safyr helps to save time, cost and resource involved in the source data analysis, data preparation and discovery phases of ETL, Data Migration, Master Data, Enterprise Metadata Management, Application rationalisation and other projects.
It also performs a valuable role in Data Governance (eg GDPR) where it aids those trying to locate Personal Data across large, complex, customised ERP and CRM packages whose data models are hidden from view.
The Business Value of Metadata for Data GovernanceRoland Bullivant
In today’s digital economy, data drives the core processes that deliver profitability and growth - from marketing, to finance, to sales, supply chain, and more. It is also likely that for many large organizations much of their key data is retained in application packages from SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Salesforce and others. In order to ensure that their foundational data infrastructure runs smoothly, most organizations have adopted a data governance initiative. These typically focus on the people and processes around managing data and information. Without an actionable link to the physical systems that run key business processes, however, governance programs can often lack the ‘teeth’ to effectively implement business change.
Metadata management is a process that can link business processes and drivers with the technical applications that support them. This makes data governance actionable and relevant in today’s fast-paced and results-driven business environment. One of the challenges facing data governance teams however, is the variety in format, accessibility and complexity of metadata across the organization’s systems.
Silwood Webinar: Comparing data models for different instances of CRM and ERP...Roland Bullivant
The need to find the differences and variances in the data models of different instances of packaged ERP and CRM is often overlooked in a project - until it becomes necessary.
This is important in many data intensive initiatives where an organisation has multiple instances of an application or is involved in an upgrade, merge or migration event. In situations where development or customisation work is being performed under Agile Sprint conditions the need to identify and manage iterations of the data model is critical.
For many smaller systems with easily accessible and understood data models this is a relatively straightforward process. For packages from SAP, Oracle, Salesforce and Microsoft however it is much more difficult and requires a specialist tool to enable comparison to be done quickly, accurately and easily.
Safyr provides those abilities and more for the world's most complex packages applications. This webinar explores the need for comparison across a range of projects and illustrates how Safyr can make light of a difficult and time consuming task.
Trying to answer the question “Where’s the data?” in the context of Information Management projects which involve
packaged applications can be frustrating and time-consuming.
This white paper offers insight into why the traditional methods are not effective and an alternative software based approach to solving the problem.
Managing change in an agile Salesforce development environmentRoland Bullivant
As larger and heavily customised Salesforce applications become ever more critical to enterprises, so the importance of being able to govern, integrate and manage their data grows. This is especially relevant in projects where an agile methodology is employed and where it is vital that the successive versions of the Salesforce data model can be compared and managed.
Safyr is unique in its ability to allow data professionals to access and utilise the metadata in large Salesforce implementations.

Silwood Technology's presentation at the Enterprise Data World 2016 Conference in San Diego. Discusses the importance of understanding the metadata which underpins all enterprise systems in the process of transformation to a data driven business. It explores why this metadata is critical, how it is usually discovered and the specific problems of accessing and understanding it in large, complex and customised packages from SAP, Oracle and Salesforce. It also outlines how Silwood's metadata discovery tool helped Boeing and Hydro Tasmania accelerate delivery of information led projects.

“The biggest internal debates so far have been around where we source the data
from and how we do integrated data modeling,” says Brian Raver, IT Manager of BI
Strategy and Systems Architecture at Medtronic. “Even though SAP HANA is a
high-performance appliance, you still have to think about the optimal way to model
the data.”
15. Why are these applications so challenging?
• Large
• Complex
• Customised
• Specialists only
• ‘Invisible’ data model
“The data in these (ERP) systems makes sense and are useful, but only in the context of the hard-coded processes. In
short, the data is trapped inside a complex web of thousands of database tables whose integrity is solely controlled by
a rigid fossilized collection of software algorithms. If you don’t believe me, just ask your SAP support staff for access to
directly update (or even read) a data table.”

a level of detail that we would not otherwise be able to achieve without
extensive user research (and a large helping of guesswork)
We have high confidence in the detail in each model as it is coming directly
from SAP itself
Based on the success of the Safyr option for SAP, we are looking to assess
the Safyr option for JD Edwards to accelerate the data mapping and
migration process for our SAP rollout to Asia
