No one starts a data lake implementation
With the intention to fail …

One analyst firm estimates 90% of all data lake implementations will end up “useless.” While there are myriad reasons why data lake implementations fail, surprisingly few are a result of technology choices.

Instead, organizational constructs and accompanying data silos are to blame, alongside the common misperception that legacy system design patterns can be directly ported over to Hadoop.

This webcast shows lessons learned from over a dozen data lake implementation.

Lessons Learned Include:

• How data lakes enable new combinations of data and advanced data products but organizational silos squander the opportunity
• Why organizations encounter difficulty getting Hadoop systems to perform as well as their database systems and what you can do about it
• Why focusing on Hadoop for IT cost cutting will ultimately get in the way of building new and better capabilities. We’ll teach you how to change the conversation.

Hope Is Not A Strategy!

There’s a good chance that data lake pitfalls are in your immediate path.
