• 9:30 am Thought Leadership: Making Real-Time, Granular Data and Analytics available Across Your Organisation, your Business Ecosystem and Beyond(Plenary) Data is now rightly perceived as a business asset. The use case for sharing data within an organisation has always been clear, but the next phase is really revolutionising how we share data with those on the outside. The timeliness and quality of that data is critical. Not only do we need streamlined, secure real-time data pipelines, both internal and external to your organisation, but also, the ability to provide real-time embedded analytics into operational applications and business portals. Join this session to hear: That real-time data pipelines are the foundation building block for businesses today How using RPA, ML & AI can improve data quality, contain costs, and maintain the timeliness of data delivery Why Embedded Analytics is becoming more pervasive and necessary in creating certainty in an uncertain business eco system both now and into the future The argument for a flexible open end-to-end data integration and analytics platform
• 9:50 am Morning Tea & Networking Break(Plenary)
• 10:20 am The Democratization of Analytics - Scale the Impact of Analytics Across the Organization(Plenary) It’s no secret that smart organizations want to make more decisions fuelled by data and analytics – but relatively few have breakthrough success. A recent study showed that 97% of organizations are investing in big data and AI technologies but only 23% report being data driven. What’s the bottleneck? Complex disparate data silos, a lack of data and analytic talent, inefficient and manual processes, and a lack of data literacy remain top inhibitors. What if an organization could upskill its workforce so all business teams and knowledge workers could use data and analytics to solve their companies most vexing challenges? There is a way – a proven method – that helps organizations democratize analytics across an organization.
• 10:40 am Accelerate Automation through AI-driven Integration(Plenary) In this post-covid world, enterprises are adopting automation with increased urgency. According to research SnapLogic conducted earlier this year, together with our research partner Vanson Bourne , the average organisation has more than 115 distinct cloud applications in use at any one time. Many more for larger enterprises! And, a huge concern, nearly half of them (495) are disconnected from one another. 89% of the IT decisions makers we surveyed said they are worried data silos are holding their organisation back. Regardless of the technology that is ultimately deployed, and regardless of the technology vendor that is chosen, there are three things companies want…. 1. Transformation that delivers products & services to market faster 2. Provide better customer experiences 3. Achieve amazing business results Enterprise Automation helps companies achieve these three main objectives (above) and ultimately deliver two main benefits: an increase in business agility and more empowered users. Both of which lead to improved business results, and ultimately support companies in delivering their objectives.
