Description:

The majority of businesses today want to begin their own big data project, but are often faced with uncertainties about where to start, and what to do when they encounter obstacles along the way. As you begin your own "big data journey", you're likely to face complications with related technologies and a disjointed provisioning process, resulting in what is commonly known as the "shadow IT phenomenon".

In this webcast, Carey James will give an overview of key milestones along the big data journey, obstacles that many organizations encounter in the process, and technology solutions to consider at each step. He will also discuss the value of focusing on business outcomes first, before making technology decisions, and will give some examples from his experience as business development manager of big data solutions at EMC.

Attendees will learn how to:

  • Approach your business outcomes using a big data strategy
  • Recognize common opportunities for making use of big data in business
  • Decipher between different technology solutions and make choices based on your goals
  • Overcome obstacles at each phase in your big data journey
  • Partner with IT to overcome technology complexities and streamline the provisioning process
