Master data management (mdm) & plm in context of enterprise product managementTata Consultancy Services
The presentation discusses the classical features and advantages of Master Data Management (MDM) system along with appropriate situations to use it. How do companies apply MDM who design, manufacture and sell their products in several geographies facing challenges in making appropriate decisions on their investment in PLM & MDM space?
Another important aspect covers the comparison/relation between a MDM system (or Product Master System) and Enterprise PLM system. How can you maximize your ROI on both PLM and MDM investments? With examples from different industries the key takeaways include whether your organization requires an MDM solution or not.
Implemented Data warehouse on “Retail Stores of five states of USA” by using 3 different data sources including structured and unstructured using SSIS, SSAS and Power BI.
Creating an Effective MDM Strategy for SalesforcePerficient, Inc.
As Salesforce has grown from a simple, standalone tool to a platform that touches every customer interaction, the data has grown more complex. This problem happens for many reasons including user error, adding other cloud apps requiring data integration, and business mergers and acquisitions that create multiple instances of Salesforce within an organization.
A master data management (MDM) strategy is critical to helping companies solve challenges like providing enterprise analytics and creating a 360-degree view of the customer. With Informatica Cloud, companies are learning to address the challenges and explore alternatives including a cost-effective cloud MDM versus a full-blown MDM solution.
During this webinar, our experts demonstrated the Informatica cloud MDM solution in action and showed how with an effective strategy, you can:
-Support the business case for MDM consolidation of multiple instances
-Create a customer 360-degree view in the cloud
-Understand the use case, reference architecture, and why companies are choosing cloud-based MDM
Power BI for Big Data and the New Look of Big Data SolutionsJames Serra
New features in Power BI give it enterprise tools, but that does not mean it automatically creates an enterprise solution. In this talk we will cover these new features (composite models, aggregations tables, dataflow) as well as Azure Data Lake Store Gen2, and describe the use cases and products of an individual, departmental, and enterprise big data solution. We will also talk about why a data warehouse and cubes still should be part of an enterprise solution, and how a data lake should be organized.
Data Architecture Strategies: Building an Enterprise Data Strategy – Where to...DATAVERSITY
The majority of successful organizations in today’s economy are data-driven, and innovative companies are looking at new ways to leverage data and information for strategic advantage. While the opportunities are vast, and the value has clearly been shown across a number of industries in using data to strategic advantage, the choices in technology can be overwhelming. From Big Data to Artificial Intelligence to Data Lakes and Warehouses, the industry is continually evolving to provide new and exciting technological solutions.
This webinar will help make sense of the various data architectures & technologies available, and how to leverage them for business value and success. A practical framework will be provided to generate “quick wins” for your organization, while at the same time building towards a longer-term sustainable architecture. Case studies will also be provided to show how successful organizations have successfully built a data strategies to support their business goals.

Modernizing the Analytics and Data Science Lifecycle for the Scalable Enterpr...Data Con LA
Data Con LA 2020
Description
It’s no secret that the roots of Data Science date back to the 1960’s and were first mainstreamed in the 1990’s with the emergence of Data Mining. This occurred when commercially affordable computers started offering the horsepower and storage necessary to perform advanced statistics to scale.
However, the words “to scale” have evolved over time. The leap to “Big Data” is only one serial aspect of growth. Beyond the typical 1-off studies that catalyzed the field of Data Mining, Data Science now fulfills enterprise and multi-enterprise use cases spanning much broader and deeper data sets and integrations. For example, AI and Machine Learning frameworks can interoperate with a variety of other systems to drive alerting, feedback loops, predictive frameworks, prescriptive engines, continual learning, and more. The deployment of AI/ML processes themselves often involves integration with contemporary DevOps tools.
Now segue to SEAL – the Scalable Enterprise Analytic Lifecycle. In this presentation, you’ll learn how to cover the major bases of a modern Data Science projects – and Citizen Data Science as well – from conception, learning, and evaluation through integration, implementation, monitoring, and continual improvement. And as the name implies, your deployments will be performant and scale as expected in today’s environments.

Phase 1: Design ConceptsProject Description
Although we may be late to the game, we will nevertheless join the world of e-commerce to sell our fantastic product on the Internet. To do so, we need a Web site that will allow for commerce and sales. To be quick about it, we require the following:
· Searchable inventory and shopping pages
· A shopping cart
· A place for customers to register when they make purchases
· A checkout process to make the purchase
Within this main process, there are a bunch of other needs that must be met, as follows:
· We want to track the date of the last purchase a customer make so we can offer incentives and discounts based on the last time they shopped.
· We will offer sales based on the number of different items that a person purchases.
· We will also give discounts for bulk orders a discount when a person buys many of the same item
In addition to sales feature, the solution must provide the ability to manage and research the sales of products. It must include the following:
· Must be able to add, update and remove product inventory in real time on the site
· Needs to have research capabilities to determine how well a product is selling, such as the following:
· How often the item is viewed, added to shopping carts, and then purchased
· How a price change affects sales and profit
Use Cases
From the description above, we can relate this to the following use cases, which describe how the user will interact with our system. Each use case is a set of screens that the users would interact with to accomplish something they need on the site.
In addition to the customer’s activity, the solution will allow Sales Analysts to manage and research product sales.

Dynamics gp insights to distribution - sales ordersSteve Chapman
Dynamics GP includes integrated distribution functionality that makes it easy to control inventory and efficiently process purchases and customer orders. This document includes tips and tricks that you might not ordinarily find or know about.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.

Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”
