Modern Business Intelligence

In a world where the amount of data produced grows exponentially, federal agencies and IT departments face ever-increasing demand to tap into the value of enterprise data. Making sense of the technologies, tools, and, techniques required to derive insights from such vast amounts of data can seem overwhelming. In this paper, we discuss the challenges of traditional business intelligence and reporting, the need for solutions that answer today’s toughest data challenges, and the accompanying people, processes, and technology that support the shift to modern enterprise analytics.

Our approach looks at complementing a traditional reporting solution, such as a Data Warehouse, with a Hadoop Data Lake. We go into leading practices for Data Lake management so agencies can be more proactive in leveraging their data to become insight-driven.
