International Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence Summit 2010

Economic pressures are forcing companies to become more innovative while also trying to reduce costs. In this tough climate, the Information-Driven Business is key to success. However, information is growing at a phenomenal rate with many companies now talking about supporting and managing petabyte data systems. In parallel with these issues, the rate of change in information-related technologies and products continues unabated. Vendor consolidation and failures, and the emergence of lower-cost solutions and new deployments models such as Open Source and Cloud Computing make developing a flexible IT strategy for Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing a daunting task. This conference examines the latest state of the art in Business Intelligence, Data Warehousing and Data Management and takes a detailed look at the key technologies that will be driving Next Generation Systems that support the Information-Driven Business.
