There has never been such an abundance of available and useful information as there is today, both across the web and across your organization. However, users are challenged with effectively discovering and connecting to this information so they can gain the meaningful insights they need. Join Kamal Hathi, Partner Director, Microsoft, and Amir Netz, Technical Fellow, Microsoft, at the Day 1 keynote as they discuss how Microsoft is making the ability to gain insights on Big Data more accessible to everyone through familiar and easy-to-use tools, such as the new Excel 2013. You’ll see how Microsoft is reducing the time to insight by empowering users to connect, analyze, and visualize data – Big Data, Small Data, All Data – in exciting and visceral new ways.
