Organizations are experiencing a growth in the amount of data they generate, and an accompanying demand for making sense of that data in real time. In this podcast Dan Lahl from Sybase tells ETM’s Ali Klaver how Sybase IQ is succeeding.

There are a lot of trends that we see in this analytics space, and there’s a high amount of churn and misunderstanding, and a lot of people are trying to come to grips with what’s going on in data warehousing and analytics. Analytics (and data warehousing) is shifting from a very strategic part of the business where you have just a few super-users that are doing data warehousing analytics.
