Tech Resources: Everything you need to get ahead

Hi {NAME}, The Register: Tech Resources - 19 September 2019 ### How to Process, Wrangle, Analyze and Visualize your Data with Three Complementary Tools There’s no doubt that data and analytics play a big part in many companies’ strategies and day-to-day operations. But getting the most from your data requires more from the tools you use – and that often means using several tools in conjunction with each other. Just as important as identifying and using the right tool for the right job, it’s important to acknowledge that, together, different tools have a greater power when you want to maximize the value of your data. Exasol is the world’s fastest in-memory analytic database; Alteryx is a leading data blending solution; Tableau is a market-leading data visualization tool. Each offers unique and powerful functionality to process, arrange and visualize your data. But what makes these more powerful? A combination of all three in a single solution stack: EAT. By bringing together all three tools, you can take advantage of high-speed data analytics (Exasol), then mix and blend your data (Alteryx) and visualize and bring the outcomes to life (Tableau). As a result, you get the benefits of all three. Download Now ### Beyond the Data Frontier 2019 is already shaping up to be an interesting year. The accelerating rate of change in business combined with new emerging technology innovations is expected to provide both challenges and opportunities for business and IT decisions makers. Digital transformation (DX) - that’s the ability to take advantage of digital technologies to improve operations and drive new customer value -remains at the heart of leading organisations’ efforts responding to these pressures. Indeed, IDC believes by 2022, 60%+ of global GDP will be digitized, with growth in every industry driven by digitally enhanced offerings, operations, and relationships. What lies at the centre of this digital movement is data. Good data is the fuel for DX, whereas low quality, inconsistent or poorly formatted data can derail it. The ability to harness data effectively is what marks many leading organisations out from those that are struggling. These companies are using analytics applied to data to expertly guide business decisions that have often been guided by gut instinct and intuition in the past. This push toward greater data use and reliance means many more organisations are structuring business projects around the delivery and use of data. In other words, they’re striving to become more data-driven. But if you want to reap the full benefits of this data-driven approach, it’s also necessary to combine it with a data-centric architecture. Data-centricity refers to an architecture where the technology stacks, mechanisms, and orchestrations are focused on maximizing the security and value of data for the enterprise.

This forces its customers to move to a new platform for enterprise support. The migration path to IBM’s suggested replacement product, the IBM Integrated Analytics System (IIAS), is far from straightforward. In fact, the migration is proving to be a much more complex and time-intensive exercise than most people anticipated. As a result, many existing Netezza customers are sensibly looking to re-evaluate the current marketplace to explore easier and quicker migration options. Fortunately, Exasol's analytics database is an in-memory, column-oriented, relational database management system (RDMS) that’s conceptually similar to Netezza. However, they’ve taken the massive parallel computing (MPP) concept to a new higher level to enable improved and accelerated data analytic capabilities on flexible, commodity hardware.
