Feed: The Connector by Workato. Author: Markus Zirn; We’re thrilled that Gartner has recognized Workato as a leader in the 2018 Gartner Magic Quadrant (MQ) for Enterprise Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS). This is Workato’s MQ debut, which makes the placement as a Leader very special for us. In fact, to our best knowledge, a vendor new to a Gartner platform MQ has never started off as a leader. It is subsequent validation after Forrester named Workato a leader in its iPaaS for Dynamic Integration Wave in 2016, which was also our very first time participating in the Forrester ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Jim Harris. Read more in The SAS Data Governance Framework: A Blueprint for Success Last year I endured one of the least enjoyable experiences in adult life – I moved. Despite all of its many time-consuming and unpleasant aspects, for me one of the few positives to moving is the opportunity to sell, donate or throw away stuff I no longer use. Unopened boxes from previous moves were easy pickings since if I never opened the box whatever was in it must not be very useful. Other easy choices included worn-out or ill-fitting clothing, damaged furniture, ... Read More

Feed: erwin Expert Blog – erwin, Inc.. Author: Zak Cole. Facebook’s data woes continue to dominate the headlines and further highlight the importance of having an enterprise-wide view of data assets. The high-profile case is somewhat different than other prominent data scandals as it wasn’t a “breach,” per se. But questions of negligence persist, and in all cases, data governance is an issue. This week, the Wall Street Journal ran a story titled “Companies Should Beware Public’s Rising Anxiety Over Data.” It discusses an IBM poll of 10,000 consumers in which 78% of U.S. respondents say a company’s ability to ...

However, using predictive analytics and machine learning is the next frontier in data analysis.The ability to predict future outcomes is what sets predictive analytics apart from other analytics used today, such as descriptive that gives answer to question “what happened” or diagnostic analytics that explains why it happened. PwC’s Global Data and Analytics survey has already proved the growing ... Read More

Feed: Blog. Author: Kim Brushaber; This week I had the honor to host the #SQLChat on Twitter on the topic of Data Governance.  Here's some quick highlights from hour long conversation:Q1) How do you define data governance? My response:  Data Governance is a system of decision rights and accountabilities for information-related processes, executed according to agreed-upon models which describe who can take what actions with what information, and when, under what circumstances, using what methods. Others responded with: A set of processes and rules that define how data is entered into a system to ensure that a company makes the ... Read More

Feed: Planet big data. Author: John Morrell. The May 25, 2018 deadline for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is almost upon us. And the question many in management are asking is: Are we ready? In most organizations, the risk and compliance teams view GDPR as another regulatory reporting process. Data needs to be managed and aggregated, processes need to be audited, reports need to be generated and investigations need to be performed. Yet, just as new regulatory obligations gave financial institutions new ways to look at their business, customers and operations, GDPR provides a similar opportunity to use regulatory ... Read More

Feed: Big Data Made Simple - One source. Many perspectives.. Author: Baiju NT. For a very long time, women working in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math were unwelcome and underappreciated. Take for example the story of Katherine Johnson and her colleagues, who made remarkable contributions to the early years of NASA’s space program. The world had not even heard of her name until two years ago, when the movie, Hidden Figures, hit the screens. Sadly, it is still a man’s world in the STEM fields, and women struggle every day to find a strong foothold in it ... Read More

Feed: Microsoft Azure Blog. Author: John Lian. In the past, Azure customers on Enterprise Agreement (EA) have subscriptions that are centrally controlled by the company’s cloud operations or IT team. When a team or employee in the company wants to start using Azure, they need to get access to the EA enrollment so that it gets billed to the company EA. To do that, the employee or team makes a request to the central cloud operations team, go through approval, and have an Azure subscription provisioned as prescribed by the company’s cloud governance policies. During this process, an EA subscription ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: John Spooner. Last week, I reflected on how much had changed since I joined SAS 20 years ago, as a fresh-faced 23 year old. It is tempting to say that everything is different, but it really would not be true. There are many things that have stayed the same, even in the fast-moving and rapidly-changing world of analytics. New graduates please note… Observational data is a pain in the neck Without data, analytics does not exist. And particularly, without data that accurately reflects the state of something or someone, analytics will not provide insight and support better ... Read More
