What Business Really Wants
“Get timely data access
(query, browse and search)
to any business relevant trusted data
in internal or external sources
through an increasing #/variety of apps
(including SaaS/Web and Mobile)
with rapid time to market
and flexibility to change or update”

Traditional Methods - Too Slow, Too Limited, Too Costly
■ The Data Warehousing Institute - Orgs on avg. take
• 8 weeks – add new data source to a DW
• 7 weeks - build complex dashboard or report
■ Forrester - IT spends avg. 1% of Rev. on Storage
• 75% of the data stored - inactive, rarely accessed
• 90% of all data access requests in production OLTP are
serviced by new data
■ Gartner –Top Technology Trends 2013
Data Virtualization - “Central to success is an enabling
technology infrastructure that helps information producers and
information consumers organize, share and exchange any type
of data and content, anytime, anywhere”

Challenges Met! Data Virtualization.
■ Access heterogeneous data
sources with different formats
■ Canonical views combine data
from different sources
■ Data virtually transformed
and cleaned
■ Create the associations
between the related entities
■ Ensure good performance
■ Minimize replication of data
which is costly
■ Increase reuse of data (self-
service, data services etc)
■ Integrated governance,
security, data quality

Why Data Virtualization?
Data Virtualization enables timely delivery of data and flexibility
to change at lower cost than traditional integration
A unified virtual layer that abstracts underlying source complexity
and presents disparate data as if from a single source
Multiply business value by increasing ‘shareability’ of a data
resource across multiple data users and use cases

The challenge facing the business today is the ability to influence the buyer decisions in a window
of opportunity that does not last long.The analytics available at a personalization level drives the
buyer whether it is choosing a Doctor or buying a Donut.
To compete in this new era, businesses need to be driven by data and analytics, which are largely
different from traditional transactions and campaigns
The Gen Z and Millinieal Generation of buyers will not be swayed by traditional engagement
models of selling products and services

§ Is Data definitely, but
§ It is not like anything you have dealt with before
§ Has no finite structure
§ Heavy on volume, ambiguous in metadata, loosely connected in structure
§ If data is linguistic oriented, processing will be heavily contextual
§ If data is numeric oriented, processing needs more granular data or has
more number crunching
§ If semi structured data, it needs more expansion and can have a mixed
workload
