Are You a Superhero? »

Chaos reigns in a world of darkness… Redundant processes vaporize efficiency. Mountains of dirty data blot out the sun. Memories of a once utopian metropolis fade, as the forces of information chaos prevail and logic slides toward the brink of oblivion.

All seemed lost until one day, an elegant union of software and hardware begins to organically synthesize new capabilities of speed, strength and agility necessary to conquer confusion with clarity. Dr. Insight, the prescient human embodiment of the union of analytics and enterprise data warehousing, reflects on the possible solutions to what may soon be a global epidemic.

From a secluded vantage point high above the city, Dr. Insight is struck with visions of a future illuminated by data. The path to salvation becomes at once self-evident and the siren is sounded – a call to action for the best and brightest to join the League of Analytic Superheroes. Will the League of Analytic Superheroes grow fast enough to finally put an end to the global data epidemic? It's up to you!
