Powerful Techniques: Taking Data Warehousing Outside the Box (5.91 MB)
Today's fast moving economy demands that enterprises have stable, high-performance data warehouses that can handle large volumes of data efficiently. Enterprises are constantly searching for solutions to manage, streamline and speed the extracting, transforming, and loading of data in data warehouses.

Increase Business Value by Improving Performance: A Data Integration Strategy
Successful business intelligence (BI) and data warehouse projects share one common characteristic: an explicit consideration of risk. Nothing addresses BI project risks as well as a rule-based audit (RBA) or proof of concept (POC) - not even a detailed project plan, expensive technology or high-priced talent. BI projects are peppered with risks, from data quality to analytic value to scalability. Any one of these risks can bring projects to a halt, leaving planners scrambling for cover, sponsors looking for remedies, and budgets wiped out. Join Michael L. Gonzales, Principal with Claraview, for a Web seminar to define and describe two methods for mitigating BI project risks: RBAs and POCs.
Are Petabytes/ Exabytes for Real?
Some trends can be ignored, but you certainly can't ignore the trend of growing data volumes. There are petabytes and even exabytes in your future - are you prepared to deal with them? With various business demands driving latency down and data volumes growing at rapid speeds, performance and scalability become even more critical to your organization's ability to operate efficiently, productively and competitively. Whatever your data volumes are now, they will be larger in the future. Do you understand the impact? Are you prepared?
ETL's Need for Speed - free TDWI Webinar!
Caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place, software solutions for extract, transform, and load (ETL) handle increasing volumes of data within decreasing batch windows. As if that weren't bad enough, users need to augment ETL's traditional over-night processing with intra-day jobs that integrate time-sensitive data. And many users want ETL to finish faster, so there's time for data quality processing. ETL's need for speed has never been more critical, and many user organizations will soon hit the data integration ceiling unless they can squeeze more performance from ETL software.
Beat the Clock - Improve the Performance of Databases, Data Warehouses and Business Intelligence Applications
Today's economy demands that enterprises maintain and process data in real time. Therefore, they are searching for solutions to manage, streamline and speed the moving and loading of data in databases, data warehouses and business intelligence applications. This challenge is further complicated by the growing need for speed and the exponential growth of data volumes - volumes that often won't fit into the processing windows available. Join data warehousing expert Bill Inmon to explore this subject in greater detail and to identify solutions for improving performance in your real-time enterprise.
