ReThinking Data & Integration in the Age of AI

Dan O’Keefe, CEO and Founder of Pivotly

Flipping the script on Data and Integration – how we IT leaders can restart at first principles around data and integration to break down silos, drive transformation and deliver the outcomes businesses are dying for.

Synopsis:

From the perspective of his 30 years of enterprise IT experience, Dan will describe how rethinking integration may well be the key to driving business transformation.

From how modern integration platforms hamstring teams to how to best rethink about the problem, Dan will provide the insights you need to start going faster and delivering tangible business value.

Dan will lay out a data-led approach that shifts the focus to making data a shared, application-agnostic resource, enabling self-service integration, improved data governance, and reduced technical debt. A philosophy shift that enables you to make progress on your long term data vision and use of AI, while delivering on short term project requirements.
