Session Descriptions

Keynote: Perspectives on a data-centric world
Subrata Chakrabarti, Head of Product Marketing & New Product Introduction: Cloud & Big Data, Informatica 

Every day, we collect more data than the day before. More business transaction data. More human interaction data. More machine interaction data. Data is no longer the records we keep but it is becoming the fuel for better customer interactions, smarter products. This keynote will discuss the trends and technologies that are fundamentally changing our landscape towards a data first mindset and how next-generation data technologies can be leveraged to unleash the potential locked up in your systems.

Data-centric security for a data-centric world
Robert Shields, Principal Product Marketing Manager, ILM Test Data Management and Data Security, Informatica 

Increasing privacy regulations — and increased public attention to data breaches — make it critical to protect financial records, personal information, and other sensitive data. Learn about the latest data security trends, see updates to Informatica's data privacy and Test Data Management offerings, and find out how Informatica protects sensitive information in real time and in non-production environments without requiring costly, time-consuming changes to applications and databases.
Getting started with 2 big data projects: Data warehouse optimization and a managed data lake
Jeff Rydz, Director, Big Data Solutions, Informatica 

To leverage Big Data for greater business agility and innovation, you need to speed up the process of finding, accessing, and preparing Big Data for analysis — while still controlling costs in your data warehouse environment. Find out how Hadoop lets you redistribute data storage and processing to optimize for cost, performance, and scalability by creating a new data management infrastructure called a Data Lake.
Informatica Cloud 101: Fastest path to data management in a hybrid IT world
Ajay Gandhi, Vice President, Cloud Marketing Informatica

This session will cover an overview of Informatica's industry leading cloud data management solution covering Cloud Data Integration, Cloud Application Integration, Cloud DQ, Cloud MDM, and Cloud TDM.
