Join us as we discuss how to “Put Your Data to Work for Your Cloud, BPM, MDM, and SOA Projects.” This discussion will explain why enterprise organizations – despite embracing strategies such as cloud computing, business process optimization, master data management and complex event processing – still struggle. As you’ll find out, this is largely the result of overlooking the most fundamental asset of the enterprise, the data. In this webinar we will introduce you to the winning solution and tactics of real-time data virtualization so you can optimize your cloud, BPM, MDM, CEP, and SOA efforts. You'll learn what real-time data virtualization is and does, and how it directly benefits IT. See how to transform fragmented, difficult to access data into easy-to-consume, reusable data services that support the entire IT architecture.
