Big data. Everyone is running a big data pilot, from Oracle to Microsoft to IBM shops. But what does “big data” really mean? As new options to store, query and access your information become available at a fast pace, it is essential to understand the enterprise data landscape and what it means to you.

Understanding Today’s ​Data Landscape

In this upcoming webinar you’re invited to participate in a conversation with our guest presenter, Mark Rittman, CTO of Rittman Mead, as he shares his own experiences when working with companies. He will explore current solutions, including the increasingly popular open source technologies from Hadoop to Spark, and how big data fits into today’s data warehouse world. In addition, Mark will identify options to integrate big data platforms into your current systems as well as explore traditional extract, transform load (ETL) methodologies and advantages of using these sources for real-time access.
