Presentation: Modern Data Platforms for Data-Driven Organizations
Paul Moxon
Senior Vice President Data Architecture and Chief Evangelist
Denodo
- Digital transformation is not a 'one and done' event. It is continuous process of improvement - driven by data and insights across the organization. However, most digital transformation initiatives fail to live up to their billing. According to Gartner, nearly 60% of digital initiatives are deliver late and many underdeliver. There are many reasons for these failures, but a frequent challenge is simply unlocking the data from the data silos and delivering timely, curated data to the business users who need it.
- Traditional approaches to data management are based on legacy thinking and aren't agile and flexible enough to meet today's business needs. Leading companies are adopting a different approach to data management based on logical data architectures. This approach is embodied in modern data architectures such as data fabrics and data meshes.
- In this session, we'll look at why traditional data architectures are failing to deliver the data needed for digital transformation initiatives and how logical data architectures are enabling true data-driven transformation.
