Big Data/Data Warehouse/Data Lake	Moving Your Data to “The Cloud”? Location Matters Clay Jackson, Quest Software	As customers with existing data consider moving that data and applications to “the cloud”, it rapidly becomes apparent that, just as in real estate, it’s all about location. A move to the cloud is most typically a journey accomplished over time, and not a “big bang”. For at least a time, customer data will need to be accessible from both legacy and cloud-based applications. Since cloud vendors charge for data movement, customers need to understand and control that movement. Also, there may be performance or security implications around moving data to or from the cloud. This presentation will cover these and other reasons why it’s critical to consider location of your data during your cloud journey. We’ll discuss tools and techniques that can help make your move easier; and why a hybrid approach to the cloud may be best.	8:30 - 9:25	VT445

EPM	Put that Data in a Cube! Essbase for Everyone with OAC Cube Designer Jim Kubik, interRel	Excel pivot tables are great, but they are nothing compared to a true Essbase database.  Hierarchies, formulas, drills, data sharing, time balance, etc. are all available when your data is in Essbase, but previously you needed an Essbase server and someone trained in Essbase to build the model for you.  With OAC, that is no longer true.  In this session, we will show how to build an income statement from a data sheet, and then enhance it to add balance sheet accounts, calculations & metrics, hierarchy structures and currency conversion.  Cubes from unstructured data, no problem.  This session is for anyone who wants more flexibility with their spreadsheets, or train their users to manage their own department’s data.	9:35 - 10:30	W210C
