TDWI Data Virtualization: Solving Complex Data Integration Challenges (NEW), Finland

We can host this training at your preferred location. Contact us!

The data integration landscape has changed radically the past few years. What was once a relatively manageable problem of blending and unifying data from enterprise transaction systems has grown to encompass external data, Web data, clickstream data, end-user data, big data, cloud data, and more. New expectations for information-driven business agility further compound the complexities of modern data integration. The ETL-based data warehouse is no longer enough. Data virtualization is a core component of next-generation data integration architectures, techniques, and technology.

Get ready to expand your data integration capabilities, deliver business-speed information, and make the most of recent advances in data integration technology. Through a combination of lecture, exercises, and case study review you will learn how data virtualization works and how to position it in your data integration architecture and processes.
