Use of geospatial data for sophisticated analytics is becoming increasingly important across a wide variety of industries. Advances in the SQL-MM spatial standard and availability of open source solutions have brought new capabilities into the mainstream. This session discusses these new capabilities (spatial data types, spatial query constructs, spatial data loading, etc.) along with use cases and implementation tips. We will discuss performance optimisation techniques as well as mash-up technologies for visualisation of geospatial data using context maps.
- Learn how integrated geospatial capability can enhance existing analytic capabilities within your organisation
- Learn about the new data types and analytic methods possible with geospatial extensions to your analytics infrastructure
- Learn about the performance characteristics and practical implementation techniques for geospatial analytics.
About our Seminars
We offer time-poor executives and managers short seminars of 1-2 hours on current, topical and visionary subjects in the domain of data analytics. Stephen Brobst, CTO Teradata, has produced a diverse range of seminars that he can present to your staff at your premises. We may also occasionally run these as public seminars.
Stephen frequently delivers keynotes at large conferences and is equally comfortable with business and/or technical audiences in smaller industry, organisational or user group meetings. Multiple seminars can be scheduled for one day. Stephen is experienced in both computer science via his MIT PhD work, and is also well versed in business management through his MBA work in a joint program between the Harvard Business School and the MIT Sloan School of Management.
