Full data lifecycle projects hold tremendous potential for organizations to uncover new insights and drivers of revenue and profitability. Big Data has brought the promise of doing device data capture, data enrichment, data science, and analytics at scale to enterprises. This promise also comes with challenges for developers, admins, and consumers to continuously access new data and collaborate.

Full data lifecycle projects involve many underlying technologies like Nifi, Kafka, Spark, HBase, Hive, Impala, etc.. How do IT professionals meet the demands of data consumers and decision makers? How do they make sure the right people can access everything they need?

Data Visualization on Big Data
In this meetup you will cover the attributes of a modern platform that empowers teams to build end to end implementations using all data that’s possible to acquire and support high value use cases for the business. We will show a demo of Data Visualization and the CDP SDX layer with the focus on reducing complex toolset chaining and governing access to data consumers and decision makers.

Data Visualization DEMO
The demo will cover Data Visualization from a governance perspective. We will show how SDX helps teams manage the access to all the data that’s possibly relevant and make it accessible to those who need it, when they need it. We will walk through the data catalog, security policies, and data lineage prior to building a dashboard.
