Deriving actionable insights and business bene�ts from a �ood of data

Business organizations now have a flood of data, but gaining the necessary insight to improve the bottom line becomes more challenging the larger it grows. Emerging technology applies the power of distributed, virtual computing to the problem of large data. Adopting these Big Data concepts and technologies has become imperative, but the maze of tools and vendors is confusing. Organizations need to use an evolutionary approach with a solution-based focus.

Do you need to leverage your data to improve your bottom line?Do you need to change the way you use information to compete?

Forrester’s principal analyst, Liz Herbert, will present on current market trends and the industry focus around Big Data, followed by a panel discussion.

Key topics for the discussion include:

• Hype, reality and impact around Big Data• Current industry trends and adoption techniques• The changing nature of organization/customer interaction and how Big Data

technologies are helping bridge the gap• Big Data challenges and best practices to overcome them
