In the Information Economy, partnership is critical. With business functionality available to anyone via increasingly vast cloud-based resources, the key to success is execution: getting things done! That's why working with partners can make all the difference in the world as companies look to digitally transform.

Check out this episode of QueryThis to hear InsideAnalysis Host @eric_kavanagh interview several guests, including Chris Lawless of HVR Software and Ed Thompson of Matillion.

The time finally came! With so much data flowing from so many new sources, the traditional approaches for data integration had to change. While we'll still see lots of Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) going on, forward-looking organizations will need to be much more strategic with regards to provisioning data.

That's why the time has come for a new term: Data Orchestration? Check out this episode of Query This to hear InsideAnalysis Host @eric_kavanagh interview several experts, including Jared Hillam of Intricity, and Joseph DeBuzna of HVR Software.

The narrative with respect to machine learning is that algorithms will eradicate jobs. A much better description is that machine learning will optimize jobs by handling mountains of tedious work that have bored and annoyed employees for centuries!

Learn more about this fast-moving field by checking out today's episode of InsideAnalysis! Host @eric_kavanagh will interview Maurice Kherlakian and Joe Carder of Perforce. They'll discuss the most common types of machine learning algorithms, and how they're being used today.

Who's afraid of the big, bad upgrade? Not the ladies from Sauder Woodworking, that's for sure! The Ohio-based furniture maker of note decided to take the plunge much earlier than most. Check out this episode of InsideAnalysis to hear host @eric_kavanagh interview Pam Vocke and Jan Arvay about their ambitious migration to SAP S/4 HANA.

Searching for some tech companies on a roll? Look no further than Looker and Nimbl! The former recently wrapped up their JOIN Conference in San Francisco, where InsideAnalysis Host @eric_kavanagh interviewed their VP of Marketing, Pedro Arellano; along with Chris Vendermeer and Tyler Dewal of PathFactory, one of their many clients. While the latter is doing amazing work migrating customers to SAP's S/4 HANA offering. You'll hear from Michael Pytel, Co-Founder!

Today, modern "data pipelines" are used to fuel mission-critical processes at-scale. These pipelines are much more sophisticated than the atomic process of ETL. And the end result? New business models are possible; old business processes can be reinvented; and lots of time and money can be saved! Check out this episode of Query This with Eric Kavanagh and Mark Van de Wiel of HVR Software & Michael Pickett of Talend to learn more!

Now entering its fourth decade of innovation, opensource software continues to transform the world of business. Once considered the work of hobbyists, this now-pervasive paradigm has since conquered the enterprise in deep and meaningful ways. In fact, Linux now reigns supreme over all other operating systems for industrial-grade enterprise solutions.

But Linux was just the beginning. Over the past decade in particular, opensource climbed up the ladder of functionality, addressing all things data; but also networking, and a wide range of other arenas in the expanding universe of business functionality. To wit: there are countless opensource projects now teeming all around the globe!

And one could argue that the opensource approach has even gone *down* the ladder, to what could be called a new foundation for business computing, or what some would characterize as the operating system for the cloud: Kubernetes. Hailing a new era of microservices architectures, this solution has already disrupted the burgeoning reality of multi-cloud.

Check out this inaugural episode of Open Enterprise to hear coast-to-coast Radio Host @eric_kavanagh as he interviews two luminaries from OpenLogic, Justin Reock and Maurice Kherlakian, about the storied history of opensource, and how this approach continues to shape the world of enterprise computing.

The kids entering the workforce today could be called the Cloud Generation or the Open Source Generation. Nearly every aspect of corporate, government and educational enterprise software designed today either uses open source or evolved from open source coding and is designed to run in a cloud or hybrid cloud environment. Isaac Newton in 1675 once said, "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants." Open Source and Open Culture of today embody that statement. One company in particular that has embraced open source and bringing open source products to the market is RedHat. In 1995 RedHat released its 1st commercially available version of Linux and they have been synonymous with Linux and Open Source ever since.

Today's episode of InsideAnalysis Radio, Eric Kavanagh discusses Open Source and Open Culture with RedHat's Daniel Reik, and Karena Angell. Daniel is a Sr. Director with more than 20 years of experience in the Open Source business and Karena is RedHat's current Marketing Manager.

In this episode of InsideAnalysis, Eric Kavanagh and Dr. Robin Bloor discuss Fast Data with Chris Lawless of HVR. Data has been around since the ancient Mesopotamians began keeping track of their crop yields 7000 years ago. Throughout the ages, we have figured out ways to keep track of more & more data for analytical insights hidden within. However, never before in the history of humanity have we created and kept as much data as we have in the last decade. Indeed, we even came up with a new name to describe these terabytes and even petabytes of saved data, Big Data!

However, as more and more data builds up, our need to move, analyze and process this data as also increased. Big Data refers to the huge amounts of data that is stored and at rest; whereas Fast Data is data in motion. Often times, the best solutions can be found by improving on existing technologies. With the power of cloud computing and seemingly unlimited affordable storage, getting data from place to place isn't the issue. It's getting the right data quickly. Change, Data, Capture or CDC has been around since the days of the mainframe but has evolved and is a very efficient way to move data, taking advantage of today's technology.

In this episode of InsideAnalysis, Eric Kavanagh, Dr. Robin Bloor discuss these issues with Chris Lawless of HVR.
