Option 
• Determine if you’re suffering from the “Integrator’s Dilemma” 
o Multiple teams and tools for EAI, SOA, ESB / ETL, ELT; old tech used to solve new 
challenges 
• Review your ICC / COE practices 
o Command and control won’t fly in the age of the “Citizen Integrator” and need for 
speed 
• Do an audit of your cloud applications currently in use 
o Find out how/if they’re integrated and how it’s going (typically many SaaS silos) 
• Dig into Hadoop 
o The economics and scale will make it a key component of your data infrastructure 
• Investigate AWS Redshift other cloud DW / BI options

Editor's Notes

  • #2 This session will introduce the concept of the "Integrator's Dilemma" and review some of the challenges faced by traditional data and application integration technologies when it comes to keeping up with the new enterprise data, application and API connectivity and management requirements. We'll review the landscape and share examples of the steps more and more IT organizations are taking to improve business alignment through faster access to trusted data.
  • #7 This need for both cloud integration power and the need for speed and simplicity has lead to an “Integrator’s Dilemma” for many of the IT organizations we talk to today. The good news is there’s now an awareness that without the right approach to integration, the promise of SaaS and cloud computing will not be met. The bad news is that their existing legacy middleware technologies were conceptualized and built before the SMAC stack became an enterprise reality – Social, Mobile, Analytics/Big Data and Cloud Computing. When it comes to Legacy Enterprise App Integration tools, “buses don’t fly.” On-premises enterprise service bus (ESB) are known to be brittle and code-intensive. They were designed to speak XML and SOAP, not the more modern web protocols like JSON and REST. They weren’t designed to run at cloud speed. When it comes to Legacy Extract, Transformation and Loading tools, they’re great for large batches of structured data – rows and columns. This works well for initial migrations and periodic data loading requirements, but customers inevitably want both real-time and batch application and data integration capabilities. According to a recent Gartner report, (read the quote on the slide) - “Organizations are increasingly turning to iPaaS offerings because of their close affinity with SaaS and the anticipated greater ease of use, lower costs and faster time-to-integration than traditional integration platforms”.  http://www.snaplogic.com/dilemma . 
  • #12 http://datascience.berkeley.edu/what-is-big-data/ Use Case #1: Customer Analytics To improve customer conversion rates, personalize campaigns, reduce customer churn, and more, marketers need to analyze data from lots of customer interaction points like mobile, social media, stores, and e-commerce sites. With big data analytics from Datameer, you can aggregate and analyze all of this data at once, yielding insights you never had before – for example, who are your high-value customers, what motivates them to buy, how they behave, and how to best reach them. Use Case #2: Operational Analytics: Understanding Machines, Devices and Human Interactions Manufacturing, operations, service and product executives face intense pressure to optimize asset utilization, budgets, performance and service quality. IT executives can help by using big data analytics to unlock insights buried in log, sensor and machine data and structured CRM, ERP, other data. Datameer customers are detecting outliers; running time series and root cause analyses; and parsing, transforming and visualizing data for insights that improve asset management decisions and ROI. Use Case #3: Fraud and Compliance Data-driven insights can help you uncover what’s hidden and suspicious – and in time to mitigate risks. With big data analytics, you can combine, integrate and analyze all of your risk-related data at once to generate the insights and metrics needed to detect fraud and compliance issues. For example, you can perform time series analysis, data profiling and accuracy calculations, data standardization, root cause analysis, breach detection, and fraud scoring, identity verifications, risk profiles, and data visualizations. Use Case #4: Data-Driven Products and Services Savvy companies are leveraging big data analytics to create new, data-driven products and services that differentiate their business and drive revenue. For example, a media company is using Datameer to provide brands and advertisers with reports about how customers behave using mobile apps so they can optimize ads and boost responses. And a leading provider of enterprise cloud applications uses Datameer to provide customers with reports on how end users are actually using their software. Use Case #5: EDW Optimization EDWs are critical business and IT resources today – but as the size and complexity of the data to be analyzed increases, you’ll eventually hit the limits of traditional data warehouses. By offloading the most challenging data management and analytics activities to big data analytics solutions like Datameer that runs on Hadoop, you can cost effectively scale to any volume of data and store and analyze any and all data types together – both structured and unstructured. http://www.datanami.com/2014/10/06/top-five-big-data-analytics-use-case-yield-high-returns/

  • #30 Architecture diagram - SnapLogic pulls data from all of the services, CSVs, APIs, databases and pushes it into all of the BI tools Good Data is the primary BI tool Easy to use web interface (minimal training) easy to maintain Tableau for deeper business analysts – internal case studies Real-time reporting – Gecko Board (API calls for quick dashboards) Everything goes into Redshift Good Data is subset, more highly aggregated Use Python to do the data science on Redshift Predictive, product recommendation “I would rather work with the business than with the hardware!” – David Glueck, Sr. Director of Data Science and Engineering, Bonobos
  • #31  . "Future development is going to be faster and cheaper because we can reuse the Snaps," Lewis said. The IT staff is small -- only one person is fully focused on integration -- and that works because the SnapLogic support staff fills in the gaps, “Working with SnapLogic has enabled us to make better use of both our on-premise and cloud applications and drive greater benefits from our overall investments.” – Harrison Lewis, CIO, Northgate Markets
