Technology is advancing faster than ever. Businesses struggle to keep up with ever-changing tech trends. They need ways to stay ahead of the tech curve, and figure out how new technology helps their business. But they lack the time and money necessary for educational events (like conferences).<\/p>\n

To help address this issue, we started an educational webinar program last year. Over the last year, we\u2019ve held webinars on a regular basis, and have made the recorded webinars available on-demand.<\/p>\n

These webinars cover a variety of topics, and are aimed at addressing common business questions and challenges. The best part: It\u2019s free to all, and constantly growing.<\/p>\n

While you can find all of the replays on this page<\/span><\/a>, here are some of the most popular webinars we held over the last year. I hope you find them useful.<\/p>\n

How to mobilize your business applications<\/span><\/a>
\nAs mobile adoption increases, customers and employees expect mobile access to your business applications. But, most business applications aren\u2019t designed for mobile devices.

Deliver custom, self-service reporting over your ERP system<\/span><\/a>
\nWhile enterprise systems (like ERPs) help organizations run their business operations, many of these systems come with a common problem: Reporting. Specifically, they don\u2019t provide reporting options that fit every company\u2019s exact needs.<\/p>\n

The bigger problem: Customizing the system to meet a company\u2019s exact needs is expensive and time-consuming. To make matters worse, it locks the company into that software version. If they ever wanted to upgrade to a newer version, they would need to redo all of their customizations.<\/p>\n

How to simplify self-service reporting<\/span><\/a>
\n\"Multi<\/p>\n

With end user reporting, no two users are the same. Different users want their reports customized in different ways. Some want to see different data, while others want a different layout.<\/p>\n

The problem: These customizations waste time. End users must submit their requests to whoever handles reporting…and wait. Meanwhile, the report creator gets bogged down with countless change requests from end users. Not only does this process waste time for all involved, it doesn\u2019t scale. As the organization grows, reporting becomes even more time-consuming.<\/p>\n

Watch this webinar replay and learn how to eliminate this bottleneck and simplify your reporting process.<\/p>\n

Run your legacy OLTP applications on Hadoop<\/span><\/a>
\nHadoop is one of the fastest growing technologies in the enterprise IT space today. However, unlocking Hadoop\u2019s potential is a challenge. Businesses often lack the right skill sets to benefit from Hadoop, and struggle to deliver real-time access to their Hadoop data.<\/p>\n

Watch this webinar replay to learn how your business can capitalize on Hadoop, using your current staff and skills.<\/p>\n

Practical uses of Hadoop<\/span><\/a>
\n\"hadoop-logo\"<\/p>\n

Present system data on maps without programming<\/span><\/a>
