IDUG Teck Talk: Our Road to Success with the Db2 Analytics Accelerator

Presented by Roberta Barnabè, UnipolSai

UnipolSai, a worldwide group insurance and banking company, is used to change and growth. During its 50 year history, Unipol has followed a long process of growth and consolidation, from a single company, then as the parent company of a group insurance to where they are today, as a result of the spin-off of the centralized and coordination Unipol Gruppo Finanziario SpA. They have experienced another type of journey with the DB2 Analytics Accelerator. Join Roberta Barnabé, as she describes Unipol's exciting and transformational journey. You will be able to learn techniques using the combined strengths of z Systems, the DB2 Analytics Accelerator and DB2 tooling to drive business-critical analytics across the enterprise. Not only will you know how and where you can exploit IDAA but more importantly you will learn some of the difficulties involved in identifying candidate workloads and provide some real-life stories of what happens when IDAA is used inappropriately.
