This event is a webinar
Join us for our May Data Analytics Monthly Forum and explore how you can optimise your data landscape using data virtualisation!
Our monthly data forum is designed to bring together organisations of all sizes to discuss the latest trends and challenges in the data landscape.
Our Data Analytics Monthly Forum, is now bigger and better than ever! Our primary goal is to ensure that you derive maximum benefits from these sessions and that we consistently deliver value to you. For that reason, we encourage you to reach out to us about topics you’d like to see covered and engage in discussions during the forums.
Organisations today are managing increasingly complex data environments, with information scattered across multiple systems, platforms, and legacy infrastructure. Traditional data integration methods often result in inefficiencies, high costs, and decision-making delays.
To overcome these challenges, modern approaches such as data virtualisation strategies offer a more agile, scalable, and cost-effective way to access and utilise data without the need for extensive movement or duplication.
In this month’s session, we’ll explore data virtualisation solutions alongside other integration strategies, uncovering how a hybrid approach – one that blends virtualisation with traditional data management – can help reduce data silos, optimise resources, and drive better business outcomes. Whether you’re looking to enhance analytics, streamline data operations, or drive innovation, our session on data virtualisation can help you.
Agenda:
- How data virtualisation accelerates insights and reduces integration complexities.
- Key benefits for real-time decision-making, including how to surface and access data with ease.
- When to adopt data virtualisation and how it fits within a broader hybrid data strategy.
- Integrating with legacy systems – ensuring seamless connectivity between old and new technologies.
- Data virtualisation implementation strategies, including overcoming common challenges.
Join us for an insightful session where we’ll break down key concepts, explore real-world use cases, and discuss how a hybrid approach to data integration can help your organisation unlock new efficiencies while future-proofing your data strategy.
This month’s session has something for everyone so register today!
