TDWI Solution Summit:
Deep Analytics for Big Data
"Solutions for Powering Business Insights"
Coronado Island, San Diego
Dramatic improvements in the price/performance of computer hardware and storage have made it possible for your organization to capture every detail about its business. You can now record every transaction, every interaction, every event, and every Web click to paint a detailed portrait of customer behavior and business operations.
Although large volumes of data offer untold business potential, few organizations have the analytical key to unlock its value. If you are like most organizations, you are literally drowning in data and starving for insights.
The TDWI Solution Summit shows you how to compete using analytics. Through case studies and expert presentations, you will learn how to leverage new analytical databases and computational techniques to gain valuable insights from ever-expanding volumes of transactional data and new sources of information, such as blogs, Twitter feeds, chats, Web logs, images, e-mail, and sensor data.
