Vertica's Omer Trajman to present use cases highlighting BIs progression to business critical application

PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 19 /PRNewswire/ --

WHO:

Omer Trajman is responsible for Vertica's cloud computing and virtualization initiatives. He is an authority on cloud-based databases through his pioneering work launching Vertica's cloud database on Amazon EC2. He recently led Vertica's MapReduce integration with the Apache Hadoop project.

WHAT:

Business intelligence (BI) has been around for decades in the form of back office enterprise data warehouses and more recently large departmental reporting systems. New data management tools such as complex event processing engines, analytic databases and batch processing MapReduce systems are making it possible to crunch very large amounts of data in very little time and react to events as they happen.

Trajman will present use cases showing how BI has been integrated into daily business processes. It will cover the tools and technologies as well as the cultural change required to integrate real-time data warehousing into mainline business operations.
