Join industry experts at this exclusive workshop, hosted by SoftServe and AWS to explore the future of data strategy. 
 
Leveraging data and AI for business outcomes are the key topics of the current business climate. Yet: 

• 58% of companies usually or always make business-critical decisions based on inaccurate or incomplete data. 
• 73% of companies allocate funds to trendy AI initiatives instead of essential data and analytics investments. 

Through the workshop, you will discover how companies can avoid mistakes and set a data strategy to drive ROI with innovative data and AI projects. 

 

Key Information

 

During the workshop we will cover:

• What are the problems that can occur with data? Why is poor quality data such an issue for businesses?   
• What is data governance, why is it important for success, and how does it impact business processes and culture?  
• How should organisations use data to make decisions? Should data lead decisions or support them?   
• Is the experience and knowledge that people have more or less important than data? When making decisions, how should experience be balanced against a process of just “following the data”?   
• Does the use of AI in a business change the rules for data governance? For example, does AI mean that new parameters for the responsible and ethical use of data need to be established?  
• What skills are needed to support the democratisation and decentralisation of data governance? How can a culture of good data governance be built across an organisation?

We will examine challenges with:

• Data governance and security 
• Data integration and innovation 
• Emerging technologies 
• Legacy systems 
• Data standards 
• Data siloes 
• Real-time processing 
• Supplier data
