At a hotel close to the statue of Columbus in New York, Oracle's general manager of its Data Cloud, Omar Tawakol, explained how he has set his sights on helping data-as-a-service (DaaS) users find a new world of data quality. But it is not the traditional, technical data quality you might expect; this was about the next step – ensuring that business consumers can derive actionable insight and build confidence from the use of DaaS assets.

At SAS Institute's annual European gathering, this year in Spain, three messages stood out among the presentations from SAS's executives: SAS has a unified market message; SAS Viya is the future platform for the company and its customers; and SAS solutions will bring the "business check" closer to getting signed.

At Teradata's European Universe conference in Hamburg, Germany, two topics were of particular interest – making Teradata easier to own and the focus on "cloud-as-you-like-it."
