    Webinar: High-speed-analytics – lessons from Discovery Health

    How is high-speed analytics driving new insights in business today? How are global leaders using ever-growing data sets to prepare them for growth and customer retention? What, practically, can your business deploy to turn data into insights?

    Beyond the frequent soundbite of “data is the new gold” is the very real problem of constantly growing data sets, and organisations’ challenge to provide meaningful insights from magnitudes of siloed data.

    In this TechCentral webinar – proudly brought to you by IBM Netezza Performance Server with BITanium Consulting, and with special guest, Discovery Health’s Matthew Zylstra – we will unpack the “hows” behind business insights and meaningful intelligence:

    • How high-speed analytics is helping Discovery Health drive insights;
    • How technology platforms are evolving to meet the increasing demand for insight on bigger and bigger data sets; and
    • How familiar and trusted technologies can be deployed on the cloud.

    Additionally, we’ll look at case studies of how South African companies are deploying high-speed-analytics to drive everyday goals.

    This webinar will be especially appealing to CIOs, CDOs, CAOs CTOs, and content will be highly relevant to senior data architects, data engineers, BI and analytics experts, and data science professionals.
