‘Fast Moving’ Analytics
If companies want to compete with startups, they need to move at the same speed, says Mark Rittman, who recently started a firm to give established businesses more “fast moving” analytics. One key tool he sees for this work: Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse.
“You press a button and provision a database and start loading data into it,” Rittman says. You’re working like an agile startup, but “you’ve got this confidence” from having the capabilities of Oracle Database. “It completely removes the friction” of setting up a database instance for people in large organizations “who want to think up ideas and do data analysis” on the fly. Read more on Rittman’s perspective, and attend his Oracle OpenWorld session “Data Warehouse Like a Startup with Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse.”
