This Informatica forum will provide insight into the very latest trends, strategies and best practices for increasing the value and lowering the cost of all your data.

We are experiencing a technological era like no other – with IDC predicting that data volumes will grow by 50 times over the next decade*, data sources diversifying at a staggering rate, and data velocity increasing significantly. It’s an exciting and yet challenging time – with big business opportunities, but also big risks if the data is not managed properly.

Informatica believe the future will belong to companies that commit to maximising their “Return on Data” – from both traditional and emerging Big Data sets.

Alys Woodward from IDC will provide the keynote at this prestigious event which brings together technical industry experts and strategic visionaries to explore the roles of Data Integration, Master Data Management (MDM), Data Quality, and Information Lifecycle Management in the simple equation: return on data = value of data divided by cost of data.

What you will learn during this half day event:

  • How to capitalise on the business value of big data while avoiding unforeseen cost, complexity and risk.
  • Disciplines for measuring and continuously maximising your “return on data”.
  • The impact of cloud, social and mobile computing on how you create, manage and utilise data.
  • The multiple facets of the big data phenomenon, and its impact on your organisation.
  • The latest release of the Informatica Platform, Informatica 9.5, and the capabilities necessary to ensure that you don’t merely cope in the era of big data, but that you thrive.
  • How IT can use data to help boost value through proactive customer engagement, powered by social, mobile and cloud MDM.
  • Lean data management techniques to meet application and data warehouse service level agreements (SLAs).

Informatica Forums set the standard for educational content and are always very well attended by an excellent range of senior IT and business professionals. The number of places available is limited.

We look forward to seeing you at the Grange St. Paul’s Hotel, London on Monday 08 October (09.00 – 13.30) for what promises to be a highly informative and enjoyable morning.
