Moving Business Decision-Making from Wishful Thinking to Fact-based Reality

Theo Schlossnagle, founder and CEO of OmniTI Computer Consulting, Inc., will present “Accelerating Decision Making With Real-Time Data” at GigaOM's Big Data conference that will put a spotlight on adapting traditional data analysis into the real-time space. The one-day conference (March 23, 2011) will explore the space under three major topics: capacity strategy, hardware, software and all the things that comprise a place for data to be stored; warehousing strategy and the most salient aspects of the booming data warehousing industry; and insights into the leading approaches to analytics, business intelligence, visualization and smarts that make data return exponential gains. Schlossnagle will be speaking alongside executives from companies such as CA Technologies, NetApp, Barnes and Noble and 10Gen.

Schlossnagle authored Scalable Internet Architectures (Sams) and frequently speaks at worldwide IT conferences. He was the principal architect of the Momentum MTA, from OmniTI’s sister company, Message Systems. In addition, he is the principal architect of Fontdeck, which delivers professional typefaces optimized for the web, and Circonus, the cloud platform for monitoring and marrying systems and business analytics. Schlossnagle earned undergraduate and graduate degrees from Johns Hopkins University in computer science, focusing upon randomized algorithms in distributed systems, and did his post-graduate work in resource allocation techniques in distributed systems. A member of the IEEE and senior member of the ACM, he serves on the editoral board of ACM’s Queue Magazine and the ACM Professions board.
