Moving the data from one platform to another, for BI or data migration, is often rife with challenges.

"Big Data" often becomes a "Big Headache". Come by to learn how to drive real-time reporting and changes, simplify set up and configuration for data integration from multiple sources, and speed the loading of major platforms such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, HP Vertica, Pivotal Greenplum, Teradata, and Amazon Redshift.
