The rumors of on-prem's demise have been greatly exaggerated! Rest assured, mountains of data and functionality remain in corporate-owned data centers, and that will not change — much — any time soon. The key to success in this brave, new, cloud-enabled world? To get the right data to the right person at the right time.

Sound familiar? Join us today as we talk to Donald Farmer of Treehive Consulting, and Anthony Williams, CEO of HVR Software. We'll discuss strategies, tactics and challenges for dealing with hybrid cloud.

The more things change, the harder marketers tend to work! That's especially true these days, as the MarTech 7,000 takes the business world by storm. Yes, that's 7,000 cloud-based solutions now available for optimizing aspects of sales and marketing automation.

Across all these new and evolving solutions, one thing's for sure: data is the cornerstone. Check out this episode of InsideAnalysis to hear host @eric_kavanagh interview Irshad Raihan of Red Hat about the fast-moving industry of digital marketing. They'll discuss tools, trends, technologies, titles and more!

Imagine how excited those first automobile drivers were as they cruised down the street in their stylish Model T's? Compared to hoofing it, or riding in a horse and carriage, this experience must have been truly awe-inspiring at the dawn of the 20th Century.

Now in the earliest stages of the 21st Century, so much has changed. But just like that massive transformation in 1908 when the Model T went public, we face a similar change in how business can be done. Somewhat suddenly, we're seeing the automation of predictive analytics with machine learning.

A new set of technologies has emerged, sometimes referred to as Auto ML, which automate the building and management of predictive models, using all sorts of data, both internal and external. Check out this episode of #InsideAnalysis to hear from two experts, as host @eric_kavangh interviews Judah Philips of Squark, and Keith Moore of SparkCognition.

If you go by the buzz, you'll think for sure that you need a data lake. And that may well be true. But just as mistakes were made in the world of data warehousing, so are mistakes being made in this next generation of data marshaling. The real key is to know your business, know your data, and have a good understanding for where you're headed.

And the bottom line these days, is that a data lake can take any number of forms. It can be the go-to system of record; or it can be a way to store relatively cold data inexpensively. Either way, you'll want some effective way to persist, access and analyze data in your lake or warehouse. And that's what we'll talk about today on InsideAnalysis with two experts: Neil Barton of Wherescape, and Mark Van de Weil, CTO of HVR!

Cloud computing has changed every aspect of enterprise software and data management. Companies can offload their data to a cloud and make it easily accessible to users. With hardware and storage no longer being the bottleneck of the past, companies are putting more and more of their data into the cloud which is great; however, it can be difficult to analyze your structured and unstructured data if it is scattered across the cloud in different locations, in different formats, collected at different times and on different platforms.

Eric Kavanagh talks with Tony Ayaz, CEO, and Founder of Gemini Data about how to make data accessible and available without proprietary measures or training through Zero Copy Data.

How safe is data in the cloud? Arguably, the tipping point has already passed, and for lots of reasons. Major cloud vendors like Amazon, Google and Microsoft can leverage the absolutely best technologies to keep their environments safe. And they can also hire and retain the very top talent.

To learn more about this changing dynamic in enterprise data, check out today's episode of InsideAnalysis, as host @eric_kavanagh interviews several experts, including Chris Lawless, SVP of Operations for HVR, Anton Els from dbVisit, and Kent Graziano, Chief Evangelist and Technical Advisor for Snowflake.

In today's episode of Inside Analysis, Eric Kavanagh interviews Asaf Somekh, founder and CEO of Iguazio about the inspiration behind Iguazio and the need to streamline Data Science applications.

Somekh refers to "The Luxury of the Tech Giants" when discussing the complexity in their AI and Machine Learning tools, technologies and even standardization which leaves room for companies like Iquazio to streamline Data Science to focus on delivering better, more accurate and more powerful solutions. Iguazio derives fast time to value for application development based on machine learning. Iguazio will be hosting MLOps NYC Conference next month on Sept 24th in New York.

Most can relate to that sinking yet grateful feeling one gets from a fraud alert notice. The immediacy of the notice can be attributed to the data streaming technology that routes the message event to the customer in real-time. While banks have readily adopted streaming technology to better serve customers, many industries are starting to as well–for reasons that span from gaining an competitive edge to better business practices. But how? In this podcast, hear from industry experts about how organizations are adopting and implementing streaming technologies, and as bonus, learn some little known benefits that streaming platforms can provide.

Check out this episode of Query This to hear several experts explain how the magic happens! Host @eric_kavanagh will interview Joseph De Buzna and Sreevani Abbaraju of HVR Software, and Tim Berglund from Confluent, about how a new era of real-time information systems is changing how business gets done.

According to the co-founder of Blameless, Lyon Wong, nobody likes being blamed for a problem they didn't create, but it's worse being blamed for a problem because you were the one to identify it.

Blameless brings together AI-driven incident resolution, blameless postmortems, SLOs/Error Budgets, and reliability insights reports and dashboards, enabling businesses to optimize reliability and innovation to allow teams to get back up quickly; thus, improving the incident response process for SRE and DevOps teams.

Check out this episode of InsideAnalysis as Eric Kavanagh and Bloor Group Data Scientist, Evren Cakir discuss these issues with Blameless co-founder Lyon Wong.

One would think the Internet, Facebook, Twitter, and social media, in general, would allow people to see important issues from many different perspectives. With so many different opinions from people of different backgrounds, cultures, language & countries, one would think the average social media user would easily and readily get both sides of a picture and be able to formulate a well rounded objective opinion based off of diverse data representing multiple sides of an argument. However, the reality seems to be just the opposite. Facebook & Twitter for example employ algorithms designed to keep you engaged on their sites. They want you to be logged in and using their platforms as long as possible. The social sciences, subtle propaganda & mind control techniques targeting the typical user have never been harder to detect. Basically, the algorithms look at what sites you visit and based off what it perceives you like or dislike, it adjusts what information you see. Users end up being given biased and extremely opinionated news and information that coincides with what they already believe in creating an information feedback loop of sorts resulting in a more polarized society.

A recent study on Google algorithms used in the lead-up to the 2016 election concluded that 2.5 million to 10 million voters were swayed by subliminal messaging and biased search algorithms. It is incredibly dangerous to have a private company with the power to influence that many votes in an election. however, they aren't just trying to influence your vote, the mass mind control and subliminal manipulation doesn't stop there. Facebook and Twitter's algorithms combined with the non-stop, daily messaging by our mass media are polarizing our society and destroying the critical thinking skills of entire generations of our society.

Who you listen to, who you read, who you hang out with and talk to have a huge impact on who you are, how you will vote, what you are likely to believe and ultimately, what kind of person you will become. Today on InsideAnalysis Eric Kavanagh & Sarah Evans discuss the importance of inclusiveness in today's digital world.
