Webinar: The Business Case for Data Fabric

Many businesses face a similar challenge. There is too much data, in too many different places, with varying degrees of access to quickly identify meaningful and actionable insights from their data.
Fortunately, data fabrics are designed to solve this problem. They are nimble and scalable – creating an architecture that responds to today’s data management evolution in real-time.
Join Andrew Brust, Research Director at GigaOm and Dan Potter, Vice President of Product Marketing at Qlik, as we explore how data fabrics work, success factors to consider, and why data integration plays such a critical role in any successful implementation. By the end of the discussion attendees will learn:
- What a data fabric is
- Why use data fabrics
- Risks to consider
- Use cases and scenarios
- Costs and Time to Value
- A 30/60/90-day plan for implementation
