The SQL Server Community Looks to Emerging Trends in BI and Database Technologies

At PASS Summit this year Ted Kummert outlined his views on accelerating insights in the new world of data.  He mentioned in his blog post, that this is an incredible time for the industry, and that data has emerged as the new currency of business.

Given that it’s such an exciting time to be in the industry, we thought this would be an ideal opportunity to ask some of the SQL Server community members attending PASS about what issues from the past they are glad are behind them, and about what industry and technology trends they are looking forward to in the future.

The answers from community members on what future trends they are most interested in were extremely diverse, including topics such as big data, new data visualizations, in-memory technologies and cloud-based & hybrid architectures. Watch the full video below to hear what the SQL Server community had to say.

Incidentally, many of the people featured in the video have already worked on published SQL Server 2012 customer stories.  You can find a complete list of these case studies at www.microsoft.com/sqlcustomers.
