Sybase IQ 16 Released

On February 17, 2013, SAP announced the availability of SAP Sybase IQ 16, the next generation of data analytics. Some of the exciting features of this release include:

• In-memory data processing for lightning-fast performance. Row-level versioning (RLV) is one of the key enhancements of Sybase IQ 16. To enable to support lightning fast DML processing in real-time, Sybase IQ 16 introduces the in-memory RLV data store. All DML events for RLV enabled tables will be first written to the RLV data store and then periodically merged into the IQ main store. This opens the door for real time updates during business hours, while overnight bulk loads bypass the RLV data store.
• Disk-based column store analytics, providing in-memory real-time analytics, for mixed workloads for large numbers of concurrent users. This capability opens new opportunities by adapting legacy infrastructure and new cutting-edge technology, while working faster and more securely.
• Affordable data warehouse solutions that include support of extreme data analytics for thousands of concurrent users.

Additional new features in SAP Sybase IQ also offer row-level versioning, portability of models with PMML, integration modes for Hadoop and MapReduce, and new data protection features.

1. The website must be available on any device
2. The website needs to be open to anybody who wants to contribute content or looks for a viable platform to showcase their work.

By moving the static website to the WordPress platform and choosing the right template framework enabled the site to display on any device without the need to create multiple versions. But more importantly it is vital open up the site to other authors as a publishing platform.

In case of Sybase it is very important to offer these outlets. There are not enough platforms that publish Sybase related content.

To support this case 2 interactive outlets were created:

Dobler Consulting, a Tampa, Florida-based provider of a full spectrum of database services, announces the first stage of completion of a large data warehouse for a major health care services provider in the Tampa Bay area. The data warehouse project was completed in a very short period of time.

A top level manager at the health care services provider explains his experience on the project:

“Dobler Consulting came in on literally less than 24 hours’ notice, guided the technical team, educated the business team, and developed a creative solution for the Executive team.”

The Dobler team worked with the Information Technology group at the provider to give the client several ways to analyze data for major decision-making. The data warehouse is designed to provide integration of data and business analytics to increase customer retention rates.

According to Dobler Consulting’s CEO Peter Dobler, the client gained several advantages when they installed the data warehouse:

1. They are fully informed about their customer retention base, having complete information about client preferences, cost factors, and other customer demographics.
2. They have both current and historical data, giving them valuable information to be proactive so that they can analyze, and predict if customers are more or less likely to leave.
3. The data is now available in different formats to filter and analyze so that it can be viewed from global, to national, to regional levels to keep customer retention high.
4. The data is available to the executive team for informed decision-making, with business dashboards and other high level summary data.

Peter Dobler says: “The goal of a well-planned data warehouse is to be able to analyze trends in your industry, no matter what your business is. Having a well-designed and constructed data warehouse means you can look at the past to make the right decisions for your future. You can consider what’s happened, what is happening now, and what will happen using your data warehouse for business projections.”

Once the data warehouse project was completed, we examined the long term benefits for our client. The health care provider gains improved performance on data queries, resulting in fast turnaround for decision-making for increased profitability. The provider found they can capitalize on their new technology by generating answers to become more competitive, better understand their customers’ needs, and be able to answer those needs. The data warehouse gives easy access to data, making it available to executives, managers, analysts, end users, and IT staff members for wide-spread use throughout their organization.

Going forward, our client will be able to use the business intelligence gleaned from the data warehouse, and apply the information to aid with financial management, inventory processing, sales, and marketing.

The post We’re Hiring: SQL Developer with SSIS appeared first on Dobler Consulting.

According to Peter Dobler, CEO, “The key factor for outstanding success has been by re-focusing on our core competencies: database consulting and data warehouse consulting. Our strong financial results are also due to the strength of our vendor relationships, and our remote database managed services.”   Because the economy has faltered in recent years, many organizations are looking for methods to save money, improve performance of their computer systems, and use consultants for their experience and step-by-step action plans. We work with our customers and vendors to support their requirements, and give them cutting-edge guidance from a team of experts who have been working with databases for decades. We want to change the way organizations look at performance, enhance their technical capabilities, and get people moving prudently toward accomplishing their business goals.

Database consulting has brought cost savings to our clients with improved processes for development and maintenance of database systems, more efficient data migrations, and better performance through cutting edge database performance tuning methodologies. We used this year to educate our clients on ways to improve their databases by bringing down costs, and concentrating on database performance and tuning. We intend to continue educating our clients on best practices to improve system performance, which in turn, saves money, and gives them a competitive edge for their business solutions.

In 2012, we helped clients design and build enterprise data warehouses to analyze trends in their industry, and make informed decisions to strengthen their businesses. Our clients have seen increased productivity, with more efficient and practical ways to manage the data as a result of having a warehouse.  Dobler shares, “We are always looking at ways to boost business processes for clients by deploying cutting-edge database systems and building customized data warehousing solutions, while controlling costs for storing and accessing data. We support our clients by helping them achieve cost efficiencies, particularly in this economy.”

Our strategic partnerships with several database vendors have brought us new referrals, clients, and increased revenue. The vendor partnerships have been paramount in helping us achieve our outstanding revenue growth this year. They helped us fortify our current database offerings, and introduce new products, and database enhancements for our projects. Dobler Consulting plans to build stronger alliances with our database vendors in the coming year to drive their growth with our technical and business experience.

Growing our remote database management business has been another key contributor to our increased revenue. This aspect of our consultancy is providing continued expansion, as we help clients reduce database administration costs, and downtime, while eliminating performance issues. Clients are finding that our remote services are lowering their total cost of ownership for data management, while offering better data availability. Moving forward into 2013, we want to offer flexible database service packages, utilizing our team of certified consultants, to provide their broad database support experience.
