For most organizations today, their data landscape is becoming increasingly more complex. Transaction systems are now spread across on-premises and in the cloud, multiple data warehouses and data marts often exist, and big data platforms have also entered the enterprise. In addition, new data sources continue to grow. So how do you deal with all this to ensure data remains trusted and to ensure that data governance keeps data under control? This workshop looks at this problem and shows how to build a modern data architecture to manage data in a distributed and hybrid computing environment that is business aligned to deliver profitability for the enterprise.
