Tracey Barrett, SVP of Products & Services, nVisia
Kay Cubria, VP of Technology, Alight Solutions

 

In most organizations, app dev and data groups are completely siloed from each other. Transactional data is extracted from operational systems and that’s where the collaboration ends. In an AI-enabled world, applications need access to cleansed and augmented data from across the entire enterprise. This talk will focus on the new strategies companies are using to make their data more available to the organization for real-time use.
