| The vendor showcase, providing both vendor and HEDW member the opportunity to discuss needs, solutions and services, will be available throughout the entire conference. We have been fortunate to attract major software providers as well as those smaller service based firms that provide guidance, development resources surrounding implementation of solutions as well as pre-packaged “all-in-one” reporting/database solutions. All vendors featured were recommended by colleagues who belong to the HEDW list serve and therefore have proven experience in higher education environments. Please visit them if you want to learn more about how experts view data management and information delivery and what they offer their clients.
The Vendor Showcase is open to Conference participants in the Pennsylvania room at the following times: Monday (4/29): 7:00 am to 5:00 pm Tuesday (4/30): 9:00 am to 4:00 pm Vendors will also be available on Sunday during the opening reception.

Now. We want them to get those warehouses and marts right: the right data, at the right granularity, for the right decision makers, with operational control, extensibility and performance built in. And we want them to deliver those warehouses and marts now: in Day Six, or Week Six of the project, not Month Six or Year Six. We were founded on the premise that data warehouses take too long to build; that, once built, they often no longer match their user’s needs; that, once in production, they are too hard to change. Comfortable as we were building custom data warehouses and marts for our clients, this manifesto led us into the software business: to become the designers of WhereScape RED and WhereScape 3D. 2013 Conference Hosted by Cornell University – Ithaca, NY Sponsors Listing QlikTech QlikTech (NASDAQ: QLIK) is a leader in Business Discovery—user-driven Business Intelligence (BI).
