What does it take to make the Enterprise "Semantic Ready?"
The SemTech Enterprise Track will demonstrate how large organizations can use semantic technologies in a variety of ways to improve efficiency, collaborative effectiveness, and profitability.
You’ll learn what it takes to be "semantic-ready"…the architecture, tools and knowledge you will need to have in place to be successful. A number of case studies will be used, including examples of semantic analytics, data integration tools, process improvement, cross-platform knowledge management and drastically reduced application development cycles.
Just as importantly, these sessions will discuss the current limits of semantic technology, debunking both the hype and the myths of semantic deployment. And you’ll see how real projects were implemented, from project feasibility through completion, so there’ll be no surprises when you get ready to pilot your own project.
