Headless content management—backend-only content management systems built to act as a content repository—enables enterprises to deliver rich, innovative content experiences across any channel. Developers are granted the freedom to use website development frameworks of choice and empowered to deliver content anywhere by generating OData APIs with click of a button—all while reducing costs, speeding time to market, and making seamless design changes without impacting backend systems.

Cloud and big data are now mainstream—making IT’s challenge one of effectively integrating enterprise data with these modern systems.

This webinar drills into the options, including:

• An overview of Modern Data Management
• ETL Tools for the Cloud: AWS Glue, Google DataFlow, Azure Data Factory
• ETL Tools for Hadoop: Apache Sqoop, Apache Nifi, Apache Flume
• Best Practices for Modern ETL

With the rise of SaaS applications and highly integrated microservices, REST APIs have grown increasingly popular as they enable organizations to better integrate data assets with enterprise applications. Many businesses are also increasingly adopting OData (an OASIS/ISO-approved standard) to simplify the process of building and consuming REST APIs.

Join us for this one-hour webinar and learn how to implement powerful REST APIs that enable real-time access to your Progress® OpenEdge® data. We’ll also cover how to avoid duplication of sensitive customer data from OpenEdge with our market-leading data connectivity solution, Progress DataDirect®.

Webinar topics include:

• The business benefits of exposing REST APIs
• Different approaches for REST-enabling OpenEdge
• What OData is and why you need it

Visual analytics is an essential component for enterprise BI strategies, which has driven demand for full integration of business applications with data visualization tools across the enterprise. To satisfy this demand and deliver seamless user experiences to their customers, many ISVs are building their own BI/data connectors.

However, a build-your-own strategy is neither economical nor scalable, with each enhancement request taking up time that could be better spent elsewhere. To avoid this, many organizations are partnering with Progress® DataDirect® to deliver universal BI connectors.

Join Progress and Tableau in this on-demand webinar to learn about:

• The current landscape of popular data visualization and BI tools
• Differences in integration patterns and available features across several popular tools
• Build vs. buy comparisons using DataDirect Universal BI Connector SDK
• Demo on custom Tableau connector
