Data Platforms 2017 Adds Speakers from Expedia, Autodesk, Oracle, Microsoft, Google and Amazon Web Services
Join data pioneers from eBay, Twitter and LinkedIn at industry's first conference dedicated to helping data teams build modern big data platforms
(firmenpresse) - SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/18/17 -- , the industry's first conference focused exclusively on helping data teams build modern, self-service big data platforms, today announced new speakers and sessions, including data and cloud pioneers from Expedia, Autodesk, Oracle, Microsoft, Google and Amazon Web Services.
While the explosion of big data and innovation of cloud technologies have created new opportunities for companies, few data teams have yet to create scalable platforms to help deliver real-time insights to drive the business. Research from indicates 80 percent of big data projects will fail by 2018, due largely to complexity and integration challenges. Yet in a recent survey by , 87 percent of data professionals feel confident that they can build a self-service big data infrastructure. There's an industry-wide need for a dedicated conference to provide actionable advice for data teams on how to address this conflict and take their company's data initiatives to the next level.
"An organization's commitment to becoming data-driven is only as good as its data strategy and data platform," said Kash Iftikhar, Vice President of Engineering Oracle Cloud Platform. "Modern data platforms incorporate cloud services, aggregate critical sources of data and provide ubiquitous access to speed decision making -- all while removing the complexity of sizing, scaling and protecting the infrastructure. Oracle is excited to participate at Data Platforms 2017 and share our vision of the Data Lake and the modern data platform."
"At Data Platforms 2017, I'll share how my data science team successfully built several cloud-based data solutions and new product features without extensive DevOps expertise," said Evan Harris, Data Scientist, Return Path. "Being at an organization that made a shift from being colo heavy to the cloud as part of our data platform strategy, we experienced many hurdles when it came to scaling and internal resources. I'll dive into how we have successfully leveraged modern distributed computing frameworks such as Spark and Presto, along with managed services to create an efficient modern data platform."
