Topic:
Big Data Analytics in the Fact-based Economy
Summary:
Is your organization part of the Fact-based Economy, or is it still making decisions based on gut instinct? Reality is, most organizations don’t yet have the applications and infrastructure required for big data analytics. But the ones that do are gaining significant advantage. In this session, Platfora will discuss how companies are leveraging “old” and “new” data sources using ultra-modern analytics techniques and platforms.
