Cleo Delivers Big Data Integration Approach to Help Modern Businesses Solve Data Ingestion Challenges


Top executives from Cleo, the global B2B-led cloud integration software leader, will discuss the problems of big data integration and enterprise data readiness at the 2018 Big Data & Business Analytics Symposium on March 22 and 23 at Wayne State University in Detroit.

Ingesting data from a variety of sources - including customers, suppliers, and partners, as well as different systems, third-party data providers, and distributed locations - is a critical challenge for modern organizations trying to achieve true business intelligence. Information coming in from disparate sources needs to be treated in an organized way if a business expects to gain value from it downstream. Cleo believes that given the increasing volumes, velocity, types, and locations of enterprise data, data readiness is a critical consideration before any analytics can begin.

"Addressing the complex challenge of data readiness calls for a B2B-led cloud integration strategy," said Mahesh Rajasekharan, president and CEO of Cleo. "This means focusing on the core business processes that start at the edges of your ecosystem - processes like order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, and plan-to-produce, for example. By enabling those connections that create value - as opposed to creating connections for connecting's sake - a B2B-led integration strategy delivers maximum value to your enterprise by concentrating on the partner ecosystems, applications, data stores, and big data analytics platforms that ultimately drive your business."

Cleo will be addressing these challenges during sessions taking place at Wayne State University on Friday, March 23. Cleo'sChief Technology Officer, John Thielens, will join speakers from Hortonworks and Attunity (News - Alert) in a forum on "Big Data Technology," and will discuss why data readiness is vital to successful analytics. Using case study examples that represent the capabilities of Cleo's flagship offering, Cleo Integration Cloud, Thielens will explain why big data integration, persona-based data consumption, and multi-lateral governance are the real value-driving complements to today's powerful analytics capabilities.



"A lot of what's discussed concerning big data has to do with the wonders of today's powerful analytics tools. But before any analytics can be performed, data integration has to happen," Thielens said. "That means your data - historic, operational, and real-time - must be sourced, moved, transformed, and provisioned to users, with technologies that promise security and control all along the way."

Also at the event, Rajasekharan will join senior leaders from such companies as Mastercard, Morpace, and Zenith Technology Solutions (News - Alert) on a panel for "Making Your Business Data Driven." Thielens will participate in a panel discussion on "Balancing Technology and Talent," where he will be joined by executives from Ford Motor Co., LexisNexis (News - Alert), and Marketing Associates.


"The annual Big Data & Business Analytics Symposium brings together leading professionals across multiple industries to share fresh insights about the most complex enterprise data challenges of our era," said Ratna Babu Chinnam, professor and co-director of the Wayne State University Big Data & Business Analytics Group. "We are pleased to welcome Cleo back to this year's event to share the company's unique knowledge, experience, and expertise with the many organizations attending this collaborative forum."
