Getting valuable information from Projects is one of the top challenges faced by Executives.

Traditionally creating dashboards and reports required a technical guru to collect requirements from the executives and then to code their way to generating dashboards.

Usually this turns out to be far too expensive and a waste of valuable time (both in creating reports and going back and forth with the technical guru to meet your needs).

Fast forward to today, and now you can use Microsoft Power BI to quickly create reports and dashboards without the need for technical coding skills.

In this Webinar, learn how to create useful dashboards and reports that you can easily manage and share with other stakeholders at the click of a button from anywhere and on any device.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn how to create powerful Portfolio dashboards.
• Learn how to leverage Natural Language Query with Power BI.

Your web, mobile, and IoT applications generate an endless stream of information.

This Information can improve the operational efficiency and insight of your business – but only if you have the right technology to quickly capture and analyze the data.

To benefit from Spark, you need to get data into Spark as fast as possible for analysis and then make the results available to applications and analysts just as fast.

Pairing Spark with a NoSQL database like Couchbase helps your enterprise get smarter, faster.

In this webinar you’ll learn:

• How you can leverage Spark and NoSQL for use cases like improving recommendations based on customer profiles and shopping carts and generating real-time alerts based on sensor data
• Three different ways for moving data between a NoSQL database and Spark – Core Spark with RDDs, Spark SQL with DataFrames, and Spark Streaming with DStreams
• How to create a feedback loop between your NoSQL database and Spark so your applications can use iterative analysis to provide the best user experience possible
