Date: July 15, 2010
Sponsor: Dataflux, Trillium Software, Embarcadero

Companies that master their metadata are masters of their domain.

Older applications benefit from a strategic view of the enterprise. Compliance efforts are bolstered, while mergers and acquisitions can be accomplished quickly and effectively when an organization has a solid handle on its enterprise metadata.

Analytic databases such as columnar, in-memory, flash, algebraic and otherwise are rising in prominence. Tune into this episode of DM Radio to learn all about this new and evolving space. We'll hear from James Kobielus, Forrester; Joydeep Das, Sybase; Tasso Argyros, Aster Data and Chris Piedmonte, Algebraix Data.

Cheaper Hands: Partner, Outsource or Offshore?

Date: June 24, 2010

Tune into this episode of DM Radio to learn how you can optimize your value chain across international and corporate boundaries. We'll hear from Liz Herbert, Forrester; Jeff Cato, CoreVault; and Robin Bloor, Bloor Group.

The Extended Enterprise: Federated Data Models

Date: June 17, 2010
Sponsor: Composite Software / Progress DataDirect / Denodo Technologies

Organizations continue to realign their business models, taking advantage of third-party resources, extended supply chains, strategic partnerships and more. The logical result is an expansion of the traditional data model. Real-time systems can now effectively reach across a whole array of boundaries, enabling tight collaboration and super-charged analytics. And then there's the bridge between unstructured data (ontologies, taxonomies) and structured (traditional data models). How can an information manager make sense of all this? Tune into this episode of DM Radio to find out! We'll hear from Rick Sherman, Athena IT Solutions; Bob Eve, Composite Software; Bradley Wright, Progress DataDirect; Diby Malakar, Informatica; and Jeff Stutz, Denodo.
