Big Data Meets the Enterprise Data Warehouse: A Title Match?  (3/8) Many people keep asking whether Hadoop spells trouble for the enterprise data warehouse. Almost invariably, the answer right now is no; Hadoop merely provides a complement to the EDW which enables the use of unstructured data. Nonetheless, there are many business needs that can be solved via big data analytics. Over time, that reality could shift the center of gravity away from traditional data warehousing.

Solutions: How to Design, Refine and Optimize Data Models  (3/14)
When you design a data model well, you learn something about the business, something central to the business model itself. That's especially true in today's cloud-heavy application ecosystem. More than ever, companies must be very efficient with data modeling if they want their operations to run smoothly. Data is the new currency, and you don't want friction holding back the movement of cash.

Data Gravity and the Rise of Federated Access  (3/21) 
Sponsored by: Denodo
Data may not technically weigh anything, but the forces of gravity apply nonetheless. Moving data requires time, energy, money and human resources, which is one reason why data federation is a growing trend. When possible, information managers like to keep data where it is and only grab what's necessary at the appropriate time. Register for this episode of DM Radio to learn more about data virtualization.

Things Change: An Evolving Role for the Chief Information Officer  (3/28) 
Oh, to be a CIO these days! The challenges, the opportunities, the excitement of data science! And then there's all the real work. Yes, the role of a CIO has changed, but most would likely say for the better. There will be fewer huge-ticket software purchases, but more service providers to manage. And CIOs will need their sea legs under them, because the waters and sands continue to shift quite dramatically.
