Then Jon will cover the migration and the benefits achieved and then conclude by showing the further developments made on the chosen platform (Exasol) since the migration. These include single customer view, re-modelling the EDW to reflect their new data dictionary and implementing mobile dashboards to stores/directors etc.

• Mastering the next wave of Enterprise Intelligence with zero-click analytics
