SUMMARY:Speed\, Simplicity\,Self-Service: Accelerating & Automating Data Movement to Cloud
DESCRIPTION:How long does it take your organization to onboard a new data source or dataset into your cloud data platform? By the time you design\, build\, test\, deploy\, document\, and automate a new data pipeline\, it’s likely that days\, weeks\, or months have gone by\, and that’s assuming that the backlog for the data engineering team is minimal. Unfortunately\, every day that goes by chips away at your credibility and relevance. \nDuring this talk and *live demo* you’ll learn how Fivetran accelerates and simplifies data movement and streamlines data pipelines to the cloud addressing critical data challenges for any organization such as: \n\nTime to insight (it’s fast to set up production data pipelines that help deliver data outcomes)\nArchitectural constraints (it’s a pure SaaS service so any infrastructure effort is removed)\nSelf-service (you don’t have to be a data engineer or developer to use Fivetran effectively)\nOperational sustainability (it just works and uptime is 99.9%+)\n\nUsing Fivetran’s fully automated and fully managed data movement service\, you’ll see *live and in real-time* (in less than 10 minutes) how an application data source with customer/account information (Salesforce) and a relational database source with lab analysis information (SQL Server\, Oracle\, PostgreSQL) are both easily and quickly connected to a cloud data platform for a historical sync\, ongoing incremental replication\, and change data capture that produces an understandable\, organized\, and normalized dataset. You’ll also learn how to automatically build aggregations and ready-for-analysis data models in just a few steps from the new customer/account dataset.

SUMMARY:How to Modernize Your BI and Analytics Architecture with Semantic Layer
DESCRIPTION:4PM: Networking\, 4:30PM: Presentation \nHow to Modernize Your BI and Analytics Architecture\nLearn about using a semantic layer to modernize analytics architecture and accelerate the business impact of AI and BI at your organization.\nThis session will offer practical advice on how to drive AI & BI business outcomes with a modern analytics architecture that leverages a semantic layer. \nYou will learn how to achieve quantifiable results by modernizing your BI and analytics stack with a semantic layer that delivers an order of magnitude better query performance\, increased data team productivity\, lower query compute costs and improved Speed-to-Insights. \nAttend this session to learn about: \n\nGaining business alignment and reducing data prep for your AI and BI teams.\nMaking a consistent set of business metrics “analytics-ready” and accessible.\nAccelerating end-to-end query performance while optimizing cloud resources.\nDelivering speed-of-thought performance – without extracting large data sets or maintaining OLAP cubes.\n\nWho should attend this session?\nAll data & analytics leaders and professionals (E.g. Chief Data Officers\, data analysts\, statisticians\, data scientists\, data engineers\, data literacy\, business intelligence\, and data governance professionals) \nSpeaker: Daniel B Gray | VP\, Solutions Engineering\, AtScale\nBio: Daniel Gray brings rich experience in technical solutions engineering as well as software engineering to his work with global enterprise organizations. Prior to joining AtScale to lead the Solutions Engineering team\, Daniel spent many years in the analytics space including Hewlett-Packard’s Advanced Technology Center\, Vertica\, and Domino Data Lab. When he’s not in the office or onsite with customers\, you’ll find Daniel running\, climbing\, hiking\, and biking – basically anything outdoors.
