Making the ODS the Centre of Your Data Strategy

Big Data has triggered the need for organisations to build real-time Operational Data Store (ODS) layers to feed the ‘Data Lake’ on Hadoop. Attend this lunchtime session to learn why a real-time ODS should be at the heart of your data architecture

Data is now one of the most valuable assets of an organisation. Not only is data driving the business, but it is also affecting how the business is run and enabling more accurate and timely decision making. Who owns the data between production application systems and the BI and Data Warehouse systems is a key role as well as a growing challenge for IT organisations to address.

The new role of the CDO (Chief Data Officer) and the explosion of ‘Big Data’ has triggered the need for organisations to build out real-time Operational Data Store (ODS) layers which feed the ‘Data Lake’ on Hadoop. This architecture model has become a popular one that enables companies to strategically and affordably overcome challenges created by continually growing data volumes now and into the future.

Attend this lunchtime session to learn how the creation of an ODS should be at the heart of your data architecture.
