Introduction to Netezza

Introduction

Success in any enterprise depends on having the best available information in time to make sound decisions. Anything less wastes opportunities, costs time and resources and can even put the organization at risk. But finding crucial information to guide the best possible actions can mean analyzing billions of data points and petabytes of data, whether to predict an outcome, identify a trend or chart the best course through a sea of ambiguity. Companies that can get this type of intelligence on demand are able to react faster and make better decisions than their competitors.
