Datavail White Paper

If you are considering migrating or have already decided to migrate from on-premises data analytics to the cloud, making this choice is just the first step on your journey to cloud analytics.

For the best chance at success, it’s highly useful to hear tips, best practices, and war stories from companies who have already been in your position.

Datavail previously hosted the webinar “Journey to Cloud Analytics – How Companies’ Analytics Challenges Can be Solved by Moving to the Cloud.” Facilitated by Tom Hoblitzell, Vice President of Data Management at Datavail, the webinar’s panel also featured three senior IT executives from enterprises who all have first-hand experience with cloud analytics:

  • Executive #1: Chief Data and Analytics Officer (CDAO) at a large healthcare network
  • Executive #2: Director of Data Science, Data and Analytics at a Fortune 500 oil & gas corporation
  • Executive #3: Vice President of Information Technology at an enterprise bank

These IT leaders shared a wealth of valuable experiences and advice during the panel discussion, including:

  • The motivation for their cloud analytics migration
  • The benefits they sought to achieve with the migration
  • Strategies for migrating to cloud analytics
  • How to choose a cloud hosting platform
