If you’re like most businesses, your IT operations include one or more database systems (DBMS) that keep your transactions running smoothly – with order processing, inventory, reporting, perhaps a tie-in to a CRM module or two. But if you’re trying to use a transactional DBMS to perform analytics, you’ll soon hit a brick wall. They simply weren’t designed for the purpose.
Sooner or later, your organization will need an analytics platform that can handle the reporting, visualizations, and predictions your business’s decisions makers require. Ideally, you’ll choose a fast, affordable analytics solution: one designed to work with all kinds of data sources, capable of running in the cloud, on-premises, or any combination.
Getting started can be easy, and free! All we’re suggesting is a conversation with your peers – other data-minded folks who’ve either moved to an analytics platform already or are thinking about the decision points involved. Led by representatives from Vertica, the Unified Analytics Warehouse, these informal discussions will cover:
- Trends in big data analytics
- How to know if an analytics platform is right for your organization
- How to incorporate the cloud – including multi-cloud – into your decision making
- Understanding cloud-only vs. hybrid deployments for data analytics
This February, meet your peers who are on their own data analytics journey. Hear about new, creative ways to put analytics to work for your organization. This Virtual Roundtable is your next best opportunity to share your questions, ideas, business challenges, and glean a little knowledge from the wider community of users and big data enthusiasts.
