What you'll learn

  • Explore key pain points and solutions to problems many enterprises face with data

Description

Tim Davis discusses key pain points and solutions to problems many enterprises face with data in silos, poor-quality data that cannot always be trusted, and managing and making large volumes of data available to derive more accurate insights and machine learning models. Tim shares a guidebook to addressing these problems, which details a fundamental change in approaches to data warehousing, data lakes, and data science. He also explores how enterprises are dealing with data distributed across business units and in scattered ungoverned shadow IT and how they are putting models into production in a scalable and transparent way.  

When customers are intentional about building the “AI stack,” they get better results, faster. Tim concludes with a discussion on what the ideal stack looks like, key considerations, and common pitfalls to avoid.

This session is sponsored by IBM.
