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.

Big Data Day LA 2015 - Data Lake - Re Birth of Enterprise Data Thinking by Ra...Data Con LA
Why and How has the Big Data based Enterprise Data Lake solution based on No-SQL and SQL technologies has become significantly effective in solving enterprise data challenges than its predecessor EDW which had tried and failed to solve the same problem entirely based on SQL database only.
Organizations have been collecting, storing, and accessing data from the beginning of computerization. Insights gained from analyzing the data enable them to identify new opportunities, improve core processes, enable continuous learning and differentiation, remain competitive, and thrive in an increasingly challenging business environment.
The well-established data architecture, consisting of a data warehouse, fed from multiple operational data stores, and fronted by BI tools, has served most organizations well. However, over the last two decades, with the explosion of internet-scale data, and the advent of new approaches to data and computational processing, this tried-and-true data architecture has come under strain, and has created both challenges and opportunities for organizations.
In this green paper, we will discuss modern approaches to data architecture that have evolved to address these challenges and provide a framework for companies to build a data architecture and better adapt to increasing demands of the modern business environment. This discussion of data architecture will be tied to the Data Maturity Journey introduced in EQengineered’s June 2021 green paper on Data Modernization.
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.
In this presentation at DAMA New York, Joe started by asking a key question: why are we doing this? Why analyze and share all these massive amounts of data? Basically, it comes down to the belief that in any organization, in any situation, if we can get the data and make it correct and timely, insights from it will become instantly actionable for companies to function more nimbly and successfully. Enabling the use of data can be a world-changing, world-improving activity and this session presents the steps necessary to get you there. Joe explained the concept of the "data lake" and also emphasizes the role of a strong data governance strategy that incorporates seven components needed for a successful program.
For more information on this presentation or Caserta Concepts, visit our website at http://casertaconcepts.com/.
Data Lakes are meant to support many of the same analytics capabilities of Data Warehouses while overcoming some of the core problems. Yet Data Lakes have a distinctly different technology base. This webinar will provide an overview of the standard architecture components of Data Lakes.
This will include:
The Lab and the factory
The base environment for batch analytics
Critical governance components
Additional components necessary for real-time analytics and ingesting streaming data
Traditional data storage and analytic tools no longer provide the agility and flexibility required to deliver relevant business insights. That’s why organizations are shifting to a data lake architecture. This approach allows you to store massive amounts of data in a central location so it's readily available to be categorized, processed, analyzed, and consumed by diverse organizational groups. In this session, we’ll assemble a data lake using services such as Amazon S3, Amazon Kinesis, Amazon Athena, Amazon EMR, and AWS Glue.
It Takes a Village: Organizational Alignment to Deliver Big Data Value in Hea...DataWorks Summit
The business and technology teams within a health insurer must align the company’s central data platform with its data strategy. That requires substantial organizational alignment. Hear the firsthand perspective from Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC), the largest customer-owned health insurance company in the United States. The speaker will cover how they integrated membership information, regulatory compliance, and the general ledger, to improve overall healthcare management. At HCSC, the strong alignment between executive leadership, business portfolio direction, architectural strategy, technology delivery, and program management have helped create leading-edge capabilities which help the company respond nimbly to a quickly evolving healthcare industry.
Use dependency injection to get Hadoop *out* of your application codeDataWorks Summit
Hadoop MapReduce provides transparent parallelization but often results in specialized code bases that interact with low-level data formats. We present a means of using dependency injection to manage data flows in MapReduce which in turn supports reusable, Hadoop-agnostic application code that interacts with high-level business domain objects. An example is provided that applies Dependency Injection to the Hadoop WordCount example and shows how the same code invoked from the WordCount MapReduce job can be reused in a real-time context. We then discuss Opower’s application of this pattern to employ the same core calculations in both batch processing and in servicing real-time requests from end users. This topic will be of interest to those interested in reusing core batch calculations in real-time contexts. It also provides a means forward for organizations moving to Hadoop that have existing code components that they would like to employ in batch MapReduce computations.

Complex Analytics with NoSQL Data Store in Real TimeNati Shalom
NOSQL are often limited in the type of queries that they can support due to the distributed nature of the data. In this session we would learn patterns on how we can overcome this limitation and combine multiple query semantics with NoSQL based engines.
We will demonstrate specifically a combination of key/value, SQL like, Document model and Graph based queries as well as more advanced topic such as handling partial update and query through projection. We will also demonstrate how we can create a meshaup between those API's i.e. write fast through Key/Value API and execute complex queries on that same data through SQL query.

Low-Latency Analytics with NoSQL – Introduction to Storm and CassandraCaserta
Businesses are generating and ingesting an unprecedented volume of structured and unstructured data to be analyzed. Needed is a scalable Big Data infrastructure that processes and parses extremely high volume in real-time and calculates aggregations and statistics. Banking trade data where volumes can exceed billions of messages a day is a perfect example.
Firms are fast approaching 'the wall' in terms of scalability with relational databases, and must stop imposing relational structure on analytics data and map raw trade data to a data model in low latency, preserve the mapped data to disk, and handle ad-hoc data requests for data analytics.
Joe discusses and introduces NoSQL databases, describing how they are capable of scaling far beyond relational databases while maintaining performance , and shares a real-world case study that details the architecture and technologies needed to ingest high-volume data for real-time analytics.

Several examples are shown for integrating NoSQL databases from CouchDB (Document Store), HBase (Column-oriented), Neo4j (Graph), Amazon Web Services (Key Value Store), and others.
Operational Process Analytics - Why traditional analytics and monitoring are ...Elmar Weber
A talk from the Activiti Global User Day 2015 in Paris. It covers the topic of operational intelligence. Why it is an important topic, specifically for Business Process Management, why current BPM vendors don't cover it and the typical reaction to use Business Intelligence methods are not enough. I then go into how Cupenya is solving this and how easy it is to get started with the Open Source Activiti Process engine with one line of code to provide real-time and predictive, operational analytics to business users.
A couple of major players in the internet space, in particular Amazon, LinkedIn and Google, opened the eyes of the corporate world to the coming onslaught of a NoSQL workload. As with every new market opportunity, some young guns quickly jumped in to capitalize on the need and confusion, but things are starting to settle and NoSQL is maturing as Enterprise ready solutions break away with long sought after features. In this webcast, learn about NoSQL convergence from Oracle, the leader in data management and hear why some flavors of NoSQL are here to stay.
Automated Schema Design for NoSQL DatabasesMichael Mior
Selecting appropriate indices and materialized views is critical for high performance in relational databases. By example, we show that the problem of schema optimization is also highly relevant for NoSQL databases. We explore the problem of schema design in NoSQL databases with a goal of optimizing query performance while minimizing storage overhead. Our suggested approach uses the cost of executing a given workload for a given schema to guide the mapping from the application data model to a physical schema. We propose a cost-driven approach for optimization and discuss its usefulness as part of an automated schema design tool.
Just a few years ago all software systems were designed to be monoliths running on a single big and powerful machine. But nowadays most companies desire to scale out instead of scaling up, because it is much easier to buy or rent a large cluster of commodity hardware then to get a single machine that is powerful enough. In the database area scaling out is realized by utilizing a combination of polyglot persistence and sharding of data. On the application level scaling out is realized by microservices. In this talk I will briefly introduce the concepts and ideas of microservices and discuss their benefits and drawbacks. Afterwards I will focus on the point of intersection of a microservice based application talking to one or many NoSQL databases. We will try and find answers to these questions: Are the differences to a monolithic application? How to scale the whole system properly? What about polyglot persistence? Is there a data-centric way to split microservices?
In the spirit of the book 7 Databases in 7 Weeks, Lara Rubbelke and Karen Lopez cover ~seven databases and datastores in the SQL and NoSQL world, when to use them, and how they are SQL-like.

NoSE: Schema Design for NoSQL ApplicationsMichael Mior
Database design is critical for high performance in relational databases and many tools exist to aid application designers in selecting an appropriate schema. While the problem of schema optimization is also highly relevant for NoSQL databases, existing tools for relational databases are inadequate for this setting. Application designers wishing to use a NoSQL database instead rely on rules of thumb to select an appropriate schema. We present a system for recommending database schemas for NoSQL applications. Our cost-based approach uses a novel binary integer programming formulation to guide the mapping from the application's conceptual data model to a database schema.
We implemented a prototype of this approach for the Cassan-dra extensible record store. Our prototype, the NoSQL Schema Evaluator (NoSE) is able to capture rules of thumb used by expert designers without explicitly encoding the rules. Automating the design process allows NoSE to produce efficient schemas and to examine more alternatives than would be possible with a manual rule-based approach.

Integrating Semantic Web with the Real World - A Journey between Two Cities ...Juan Sequeda
(The original version of this talk was a Keynote at KCAP2017. This is the final version of the slides after giving this talk 14 times in 2018)
An early vision in Computer Science has been to create intelligent systems capable of reasoning on large amounts of data. Today, this vision can be delivered by integrating Relational Databases with the Semantic Web using the W3C standards: a graph data model (RDF), ontology language (OWL), mapping language (R2RML) and query language (SPARQL). The research community has successfully been showing how intelligent systems can be created with Semantic Web technologies, dubbed now as Knowledge Graphs.
However, where is the mainstream industry adoption? What are the barriers to adoption? Are these engineering and social barriers or are they open scientific problems that need to be addressed?
This talk will chronicle our journey of deploying Semantic Web technologies with real world users to address Business Intelligence and Data Integration needs, describe technical and social obstacles that are present in large organizations, and scientific and engineering challenges that require attention.

Analytical Innovation: How to Build the Next Generation Data PlatformVMware Tanzu
There was a time when the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) was the only way to provide a 360-degree analytical view of the business. In recent years many organizations have deployed disparate analytics alternatives to the EDW, including: cloud data warehouses, machine learning frameworks, graph databases, geospatial tools, and other technologies. Often these new deployments have resulted in the creation of analytical silos that are too complex to integrate, seriously limiting global insights and innovation.

Organizations today need a broad set of enterprise data cloud services with key data functionality to modernize applications and utilize machine learning. They need a comprehensive platform designed to address multi-faceted needs by offering multi-function data management and analytics to solve the enterprise’s most pressing data and analytic challenges in a streamlined fashion.
In this research-based session, I’ll discuss what the components are in multiple modern enterprise analytics stacks (i.e., dedicated compute, storage, data integration, streaming, etc.) and focus on total cost of ownership.
A complete machine learning infrastructure cost for the first modern use case at a midsize to large enterprise will be anywhere from $3 million to $22 million. Get this data point as you take the next steps on your journey into the highest spend and return item for most companies in the next several years.
Data at the Speed of Business with Data Mastering and GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Do you ever wonder how data-driven organizations fuel analytics, improve customer experience, and accelerate business productivity? They are successful by governing and mastering data effectively so they can get trusted data to those who need it faster. Efficient data discovery, mastering and democratization is critical for swiftly linking accurate data with business consumers. When business teams can quickly and easily locate, interpret, trust, and apply data assets to support sound business judgment, it takes less time to see value.
Join data mastering and data governance experts from Informatica—plus a real-world organization empowering trusted data for analytics—for a lively panel discussion. You’ll hear more about how a single cloud-native approach can help global businesses in any economy create more value—faster, more reliably, and with more confidence—by making data management and governance easier to implement.
What is data literacy? Which organizations, and which workers in those organizations, need to be data-literate? There are seemingly hundreds of definitions of data literacy, along with almost as many opinions about how to achieve it.
In a broader perspective, companies must consider whether data literacy is an isolated goal or one component of a broader learning strategy to address skill deficits. How does data literacy compare to other types of skills or “literacy” such as business acumen?
This session will position data literacy in the context of other worker skills as a framework for understanding how and where it fits and how to advocate for its importance.

Because every organization produces and propagates data as part of their day-to-day operations, data trends are becoming more and more important in the mainstream business world’s consciousness. For many organizations in various industries, though, comprehension of this development begins and ends with buzzwords: “Big Data,” “NoSQL,” “Data Scientist,” and so on. Few realize that all solutions to their business problems, regardless of platform or relevant technology, rely to a critical extent on the data model supporting them. As such, data modeling is not an optional task for an organization’s data effort, but rather a vital activity that facilitates the solutions driving your business. Since quality engineering/architecture work products do not happen accidentally, the more your organization depends on automation, the more important the data models driving the engineering and architecture activities of your organization. This webinar illustrates data modeling as a key activity upon which so much technology and business investment depends.
Specific learning objectives include:
- Understanding what types of challenges require data modeling to be part of the solution
- How automation requires standardization on derivable via data modeling techniques
- Why only a working partnership between data and the business can produce useful outcomes
Analytics play a critical role in supporting strategic business initiatives. Despite the obvious value to analytic professionals of providing the analytics for these initiatives, many executives question the economic return of analytics as well as data lakes, machine learning, master data management, and the like.
Technology professionals need to calculate and present business value in terms business executives can understand. Unfortunately, most IT professionals lack the knowledge required to develop comprehensive cost-benefit analyses and return on investment (ROI) measurements.
This session provides a framework to help technology professionals research, measure, and present the economic value of a proposed or existing analytics initiative, no matter the form that the business benefit arises. The session will provide practical advice about how to calculate ROI and the formulas, and how to collect the necessary information.
How a Semantic Layer Makes Data Mesh Work at ScaleDATAVERSITY
Data Mesh is a trending approach to building a decentralized data architecture by leveraging a domain-oriented, self-service design. However, the pure definition of Data Mesh lacks a center of excellence or central data team and doesn’t address the need for a common approach for sharing data products across teams. The semantic layer is emerging as a key component to supporting a Hub and Spoke style of organizing data teams by introducing data model sharing, collaboration, and distributed ownership controls.
This session will explain how data teams can define common models and definitions with a semantic layer to decentralize analytics product creation using a Hub and Spoke architecture.
Attend this session to learn about:
- The role of a Data Mesh in the modern cloud architecture.
- How a semantic layer can serve as the binding agent to support decentralization.
- How to drive self service with consistency and control.
Enterprise data literacy. A worthy objective? Certainly! A realistic goal? That remains to be seen. As companies consider investing in data literacy education, questions arise about its value and purpose. While the destination – having a data-fluent workforce – is attractive, we wonder how (and if) we can get there.
Kicking off this webinar series, we begin with a panel discussion to explore the landscape of literacy, including expert positions and results from focus groups:
- why it matters,
- what it means,
- what gets in the way,
- who needs it (and how much they need),
- what companies believe it will accomplish.
In this engaging discussion about literacy, we will set the stage for future webinars to answer specific questions and feature successful literacy efforts.
The Data Trifecta – Privacy, Security & Governance Race from Reactivity to Re...DATAVERSITY
Change is hard, especially in response to negative stimuli or what is perceived as negative stimuli. So organizations need to reframe how they think about data privacy, security and governance, treating them as value centers to 1) ensure enterprise data can flow where it needs to, 2) prevent – not just react – to internal and external threats, and 3) comply with data privacy and security regulations.
Working together, these roles can accelerate faster access to approved, relevant and higher quality data – and that means more successful use cases, faster speed to insights, and better business outcomes. However, both new information and tools are required to make the shift from defense to offense, reducing data drama while increasing its value.
Join us for this panel discussion with experts in these fields as they discuss:
- Recent research about where data privacy, security and governance stand
- The most valuable enterprise data use cases
- The common obstacles to data value creation
- New approaches to data privacy, security and governance
- Their advice on how to shift from a reactive to resilient mindset/culture/organization
You’ll be educated, entertained and inspired by this panel and their expertise in using the data trifecta to innovate more often, operate more efficiently, and differentiate more strategically.

It is a fascinating, explosive time for enterprise analytics.
It is from the position of analytics leadership that the enterprise mission will be executed and company leadership will emerge. The data professional is absolutely sitting on the performance of the company in this information economy and has an obligation to demonstrate the possibilities and originate the architecture, data, and projects that will deliver analytics. After all, no matter what business you’re in, you’re in the business of analytics.
The coming years will be full of big changes in enterprise analytics and data architecture. William will kick off the fifth year of the Advanced Analytics series with a discussion of the trends winning organizations should build into their plans, expectations, vision, and awareness now.
Too often I hear the question “Can you help me with our data strategy?” Unfortunately, for most, this is the wrong request because it focuses on the least valuable component: the data strategy itself. A more useful request is: “Can you help me apply data strategically?” Yes, at early maturity phases the process of developing strategic thinking about data is more important than the actual product! Trying to write a good (must less perfect) data strategy on the first attempt is generally not productive –particularly given the widespread acceptance of Mike Tyson’s truism: “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.” This program refocuses efforts on learning how to iteratively improve the way data is strategically applied. This will permit data-based strategy components to keep up with agile, evolving organizational strategies. It also contributes to three primary organizational data goals. Learn how to improve the following:
- Your organization’s data
- The way your people use data
- The way your people use data to achieve your organizational strategy
This will help in ways never imagined. Data are your sole non-depletable, non-degradable, durable strategic assets, and they are pervasively shared across every organizational area. Addressing existing challenges programmatically includes overcoming necessary but insufficient prerequisites and developing a disciplined, repeatable means of improving business objectives. This process (based on the theory of constraints) is where the strategic data work really occurs as organizations identify prioritized areas where better assets, literacy, and support (data strategy components) can help an organization better achieve specific strategic objectives. Then the process becomes lather, rinse, and repeat. Several complementary concepts are also covered, including:
- A cohesive argument for why data strategy is necessary for effective data governance
- An overview of prerequisites for effective strategic use of data strategy, as well as common pitfalls
- A repeatable process for identifying and removing data constraints
- The importance of balancing business operation and innovation
Who Should Own Data Governance – IT or Business?DATAVERSITY
The question is asked all the time: “What part of the organization should own your Data Governance program?” The typical answers are “the business” and “IT (information technology).” Another answer to that question is “Yes.” The program must be owned and reside somewhere in the organization. You may ask yourself if there is a correct answer to the question.
Join this new RWDG webinar with Bob Seiner where Bob will answer the question that is the title of this webinar. Determining ownership of Data Governance is a vital first step. Figuring out the appropriate part of the organization to manage the program is an important second step. This webinar will help you address these questions and more.
In this session Bob will share:
- What is meant by “the business” when it comes to owning Data Governance
- Why some people say that Data Governance in IT is destined to fail
- Examples of IT positioned Data Governance success
- Considerations for answering the question in your organization
- The final answer to the question of who should own Data Governance
It is clear that Data Management best practices exist and so does a useful process for improving existing Data Management practices. The question arises: Since we understand the goal, how does one design a process for Data Management goal achievement? This program describes what must be done at the programmatic level to achieve better data use and a way to implement this as part of your data program. The approach combines DMBoK content and CMMI/DMM processes – permitting organizations with the opportunity to benefit from the best of both. It also permits organizations to understand:
- Their current Data Management practices
- Strengths that should be leveraged
- Remediation opportunities
MLOps – Applying DevOps to Competitive AdvantageDATAVERSITY
MLOps is a practice for collaboration between Data Science and operations to manage the production machine learning (ML) lifecycles. As an amalgamation of “machine learning” and “operations,” MLOps applies DevOps principles to ML delivery, enabling the delivery of ML-based innovation at scale to result in:
Faster time to market of ML-based solutions
More rapid rate of experimentation, driving innovation
Assurance of quality, trustworthiness, and ethical AI
MLOps is essential for scaling ML. Without it, enterprises risk struggling with costly overhead and stalled progress. Several vendors have emerged with offerings to support MLOps: the major offerings are Microsoft Azure ML and Google Vertex AI. We looked at these offerings from the perspective of enterprise features and time-to-value.

An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
