Why should they adopt? The C-Suite is being increasingly asked by their board to modernize their data assets. The question is – what does it mean to modernize. My ETLs are running just fine, my analytics is showing me great dashboards and I continue to gain operational efficiency. So what am I missing. Let’s discuss this topic in a 15 minute teaser session!
