We are in a world where the new technologies of Cloud, IoT, AI/Machine Learning, and Cloud Data-Stacks are re-architecting how organizations operate. DevOps and DataOps driven organizations move thousands of times faster than others.

To master this “Tsunami” of data we need to leverage new tools and new data analysis techniques. We need to master the new Cloud datastores where we can query petabytes of data in seconds.

We need to understand how to leverage the new data-in-motion pipelines to make business decisions in seconds rather than days or weeks.
