Session 1: Achieving Self-Service Analytics with a Governed Data Access Layer

We have all heard about corporate Self-Service initiatives, or maybe your company has even attempted to implement one. With the evolution of the data landscape, we have become data-driven, when we should be information-driven because data without context lacks meaning. Data that has meaning is what drives valuable business insights. We need to deliver the right information to our consumers while providing a guided and governed experience across a diverse consumer community.

Attend this webinar to learn:

• What it takes to deploy a successful Self-Service initiative.
• How Governed Data Access Layer enables guided data discovery.
• How Denodo simplifies the security of your most valuable data while making it easy to access for end-users

Session 2: Go Beyond Dashboards – Infuse Analytic and Data Insights Everywhere

It’s time to think differently about data and analytics strategies. While many organizations have progressed from relying on static outputs, generated by dedicated teams, to bring data and analytic insights to knowledge workers everywhere.  At Sisense we use terms like infuse and embed to provide these insights inside interfaces that users love.  Learn more about:

• The future of business intelligence and how your organization can stay ahead of the curve by thinking about life beyond the task-specific dashboard
• Enhancing your data strategy to get more out of your data
• How organizations are infusing analytics to get information when they need it, and where they need it

Session 3: Analytics with No Data Movement! How I Stopped Worrying & Learned to Love the Data Lake

Are you filtering and trimming data to keep costs down? Are you sacrificing insights because of short retention windows? Are your most talented technical resources bogged down with data prep, movement, and pipeline management? If you answered yes to any of these questions, there is a better way. During this session, Greg Goldsmith (ChaosSearch’s VP of Product Management) and Dave Armlin (VP of Customer Success) will show you how you can activate your cloud object storage as a hot analytical data lake that supports search and SQL analytics at scale – with no data movement or ETL.

This demo of the ChaosSearch Data Lake Platform will show you how you can:

• Transform your Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage into a hot analytical data lake that supports multiple analytics use cases
• Extend log retention indefinitely at dramatically lower cost
• Empower your engineers to virtually clean, prep and transform data with no ETL for dynamic data access
• Use your existing analytics and visualization tools such as Kibana, Looker and Tableau to create more and faster insights
• Quickly create dashboards for data analytics and monitoring
