If you look at nearly every great advance in business, you’ll find a common theme: automation. In fact, every software application, at its root, serves to automate something. That’s especially true in the realm of information management: companies that automate key processes for storing, analyzing and leveraging data, will thereby position themselves for competitive advantage.

One of the hottest trends these days involves companies automating their analytical infrastructure – i.e. their data warehouses – and doing so in the cloud. And then there’s the discovery component, where additional innovations are enabling the rapid mining and exploration of vast data sets, using micro-queries to incrementally visualize strategic views of information assets.

Who’s at the forefront of these industry trends? Listen to this episode of #InsideAnalysis to find out! Host @Eric_Kavanagh will interview Mico Yuk of BI Brainz (@MicoYuk), plus Olivier Meyer of Zoomdata (@Zoomdata), Mark Budzinski of Wherescape (@wherescape), and Jon Bock of Snowflake Computing (@SnowflakeDB).
