Session Descriptions
Perspectives on a Data-centric World
Piet Loubser, Vice President, Platform Product Marketing, 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.

Lean Data Warehousing: Optimizing Performance and Lowering Costs
Jerry Stafford, Director of Product Management, ILM Data Archive, Informatica
In an era of exponential data warehouse growth, Informatica Data Archive and Data Warehouse Advisor work together to support a "Lean" strategy for managing data growth cost-effectively with features that improve performance, supercharge partitioning strategy, analyze utilization, and identify dormant data. Learn how archiving and partitioning can improve query performance, shrink backup/recovery windows, and slash database/infrastructure costs.

Informatica Cloud 101: Fastest Path to Data Management in a Hybrid IT World
Sid Lasley, Vice President, Cloud Sales Engineering, Informatica
Data management in the Cloud is not just a trend - it is a proven, efficient and secure way to get your fragmented and siloed SaaS application data integrated with your on-premise applications and databases. Gartner forecasts that the SaaS market will grow to $32.8 billion in 2016. 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. Learn how you can increase the ROI of your Cloud app investments in a hybrid IT landscape.

Data-centric Security for a Data-centric World
Akil Murali, Principal Product Manager, Data Masking 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.
