Where we are today

Organizations have to deal with more data than ever. Data is often spread over a myriad of internal and

cloud systems. We all now have devices that provide

anywhere/anytime connectivity… …so why is it so difficult to make sense of it all? We will talk about the practical and technical issues

facing organizations and demonstrate some sample solutions.

“Put simply, the digital technology has evolved at a far quicker rate than the physical evolution of the brains we use to decipher and put it to use. Our brains aren’t built to cope with the ever increasing volumes of data we are trying to cram into them – and this is leading to brain malfunction in the form of stress” – Bernard Marr, Forbes.com
