CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST
8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.
WELCOME & KEYNOTE - Understanding the Data Value Chain
9:00 a.m. - 9:45 a.m.
Creating value from data requires a new mind-set. It’s hard to escape silos, whether they are technical or conceptual. To exploit fully the opportunity of Big Data tools and architectures, we need a new way of think- ing that frames data as a raw material of business. The answer is to focus not on the functional components— what you do to data—but on business outcomes and how they can be achieved—what you do with data. This new approach can be cultivated through looking at the data value chain.

Agile "AppStore" (SBA) Creation on a Rich Search Index
9:45 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.
The bad reputation of enterprise search will change as more powerful technology allows the extension of search to many enterprise data sources. Once enterprises have done the ground work of indexing all or most of their data, they can do things they had never thought of before, such as easily and rapidly developing Search Based Applications (SBAs) to meet user needs. This talk will present several of the SBAs that populate the AstraZeneca "AppStore" on top of the Sinequa platform.
Hans-Josef Jeanrond, VP Marketing, Sinequa
Rob Hernandez, Data Analytics Lead, CTO Office, AstraZeneca

C102: An Introduction to Oracle Enterprise Metadata Manager
12:00 p.m. - 12:45 p.m.
As technology stacks expand and transform over time, one constant shines bright—the need for metadata. Metadata manager tools have come and gone over the years, but they always felt incomplete. The newly released Oracle Enterprise Metadata Manager is the world's first complete metadata tool. This session shows how the tool deals with the standard features of data lineage, impact analysis, and version management applied across a myriad of Oracle and non-Oracle technologies and combines them into a consistent metadata whole, including Oracle Database, Oracle Data Integrator, Oracle Business Intelligence, and Hadoop.
Stewart Bryson, Red Pill Analytics
ATTENDEE LUNCH in the Data Solutions Showcase
12:45 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
C103: Integration of a SQL Database Oracle and a NoSQL Database Cassandra for a High Data Volume Big Data Application
2:00 p.m. - 2:45 p.m.
Oracle is a strong relational database management system that well serves the use cases for which it was originally designed, such as OLTP applications. But for applications with big/fast data processing requirements, it makes both business and technical sense to have an integrated database system. Cassandra is a non-ACID, NoSQL key-value pair database that uses a sharding approach for horizontal scalability and is built on guiding principles that are opposite for those guiding the Oracle database. This session discusses how Apex Supply Chain Technologies built an integrated POC database system for a transformative supply chain cloud-based

COFFEE BREAK in the Data Solutions Showcase
2:45 p.m. - 3:15 p.m.
C104: Data Warehousing with Hadoop and Integration with OBIEE 11g Leveraging Oracle Big Data Discovery (BDD) and Big Data SQL
3:15 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Increasing interest in using Hadoop for data management, transformation, and analysis had led to significant development efforts by companies to enhance and extend Hadoop framework and offer a range of different Hadoop solutions. Many of these solutions can be used to enhance and extend the current BI and data warehousing environment. However, architecting such a system requires understanding of not just Hadoop but a broad range of related projects in the Hadoop ecosystem such as Flume, Hive, Impala, Oozie, Sqoop, etc. It also requires an understanding of the existing Enterprise Data Warehousing systems but more importantly how they integrate with various tools in the Hadoop ecosystem. The newest release of Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.7 shows Oracle's continued efforts in trying to integrate its Oracle Business Intelligence Platform with big data technologies such as Hadoop and Hive.

C105: Analytics: Traditional Versus Big Data
4:15 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Big Data insight is getting tremendous attention across all organizations, but data mining and analytics are not new methodology. This presentation emphasizes how Big Data technologies are helping data discovery and turning information and knowledge into wisdom. This presentation not only helps you understand different types of analytic techniques using examples, but also explains how Hadoop is contributing to the success of analytics.

C201: The New Analytic Paradigm: The Big Evolution of BI
10:45 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
Big Data is not a new solution regarding business intelligence (BI), but rather a technology and approach that changes how we create and deploy data solutions. As the architecture of our data warehouses evolves to include these new data sources, new and dynamic reporting methods using complete datasets instead of smaller data samples appear. At EPAM Systems, changes in how data is ingested and integrated using a Big Data cluster, and then using the data in the cluster to service the structured data warehouse as well as discovery reporting directly connected to the Big Data repository, involves both pitfalls and successes.
Ian Abramson, Senior Consultant, SWI
C202: Big Data Analytics in Oracle Database 12c With Oracle Advanced Analytics and Big Data SQL
