EVENT DETAILS
Most enterprise organizations fail to start, let alone deliver, successful data integration projects.
A 2017 Gartner study found that 60% of enterprise IT budgets will be spent on data integration projects, so it is critical that Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) initiatives create business value.
Join us for an in-depth meetup co-hosted by O'Reilly Media & MarkLogic featuring talks by Ken Krupa, CTO at MarkLogic, & Vida Ha, Director of Field Engineering at Databricks. We'll discuss how the right database infrastructure will enable growth, eliminate data silos & bridge the gap between your enterprise operations & analysis. You'll see how an Operational Data Hub approach is a faster & more effective solution to the seemingly unreachable goal of ERP integration.
Besides insightful talks, we'll have good food & drinks, & the opportunity for you to connect with the New York data community.
