The first step towards a successful data management and analytics strategy is to identify data sources which gives a holistic view of all your business processes and aids you to realise insights from the generated data.
In this century of data dominance, companies store and use data from different sources – Data warehouses, Data Lakes, Social Media, on-Premise or Cloud sources, local spreadsheets and the question is how do we connect them to our visualization tools to make value of this data?
As part of our Webinar Series on the Analytics Lifecycle, Session 2, we start with the first stage of the Lifecycle – Data connections and acquisition and give you insights into the prerequisites, advantages, and limitations within the most important aspects, demonstrated via Microsoft Power BI and SAP Analytics Cloud.
This Webinar includes the following topics:
- Datasource connections
- Import vs Live (Real-Time) connections
- Data Privacy, Roles and Authorizations
- Data Volume & Performance
Create value from your data
Data is the oil of the future. But the key lies in what we are doing with it.
To make intelligent business decisions and sound strategies data management alone is no longer sufficient. You also need to identify relevant data sources.
Drawing hidden insights and value from data by connecting, transforming, and then making the data accessible via different channels to decision makers anytime, anywhere, puts you ahead of your competitors.
So, which one is the best fit for your company?
With the countless analytics tools and technologies on the market, it is difficult to identify one solution that is right for your needs.
Within a series of webinars covering the full analytics lifecycle, we take a closer look at the two solutions Microsoft Power BI and SAP Analytics Cloud and highlight their strengths and weaknesses at all stages of the lifecycle. We will look into topics such as different ways of acquiring data, preparing data, visualizing and analyzing the information and ultimately sharing tangible insights.
Join us on this journey and make your analytics strategy future-proof!
