more powerful, leading companies are looking for ways
to integrate these new solutions into the cloud. Those

infrastructure are able to deliver solutions quickly,

more data, and deliver results before the decision
window closes. The net effect of this Best-in-Class
strategy for cloud analytics is substantial and repeatable
business performance enhancements.
