So where are you going to find the extra money needed to do it? For big and fast impact, stop paying exorbitant fees on the underlying database software and put it to better use in areas like BI where you can realize a stronger ROI. We will show you the proven path for how to shift the spend and budget allocation away from your rich (and getting much richer!) database vendors and move it back to your P&L and new mission critical BI initiatives.
