11:25 – 12:00 | The Analyzer of Everything – How Philips Derives Actionable Insight from Sensor Data
Personal health monitors tracking your fitness, trash cans monitoring their fullness, watches telling you more than just time. Clearly, more and more “offline” things are coming “online,” moving from isolation to connected to IOT. But how do you, as a product manufacturer or business, unlock the value from these connected things and transition from science experiment to business-critical initiative that differentiates your product or service? Join us to learn how Philips simplified IOT with HPE Vertica to focus on improving digital imaging equipment, reduce costs and improve customer satisfaction.
Speakers: Mauro Barbieri |
12:00 – 12:30 | Billions of Rows, Millions of Insights, Right Now!
We are inundated with buzzwords in the IT industry “Big Data,” “real time,” “unstructured data.” But the reality is, many of us still need to work with both our Big Data sources as well as our traditional relational data to achieve new insights from the fire hose of information that is flowing at us in increasingly heavy volumes. Join us for this presentation as data warehousing & BI guru Rob Winter’s covers building an infrastructure to allow real time reporting on top of billions of records using the HPE Vertica Analytics Platform and Tableau, along with few other complimentary tools. You’ll also learn which pitfalls to avoid.
