If you think data issues are challenging today, just wait.  Ocient finds that mere “big data” is being replaced by “hyperscale data”, which involves higher volumes and near-immediate analytics.  Nearly all respondents (97%) expect data volumes to rise quickly in the next few years and 59% expect to move to a new data warehousing platform to handle the growth.

Continuing its early fall shopping spree, Salesforce has signed a definitive agreement to acquire data protection and management company Own (it is also acquiring voice agent vendor Tenyx). In addition to analytics capabilities Own will enhance Salesforce’s existing data security tools. It has been a Salesforce AppExchange partner for over 10 years.
