The world of data warehousing and analytics has changed. With the advent of big data, streaming data, IoT, and the cloud, the changes never cease. It may seem to be a very different world with different concepts, terms, and techniques. Or is it?

 

While lots of people still talk about data warehouses and data marts, the conversation now includes data lakes. data science, machine learning, and AI! How do these things bring value and data-based decisions to our organizations? Is there a coherent architecture we can define?
