You Need a Data Catalog. Do You Know Why?

The data catalog has become a popular discussion topic within data management and data governance circles. A data catalog is a central repository that contains metadata for describing data sets, how they are defined, and where to find them. TDWI research indicates that implementing a data catalog is a top priority among organizations we survey. The data catalog can also play an important part in the governance process. It provides features that help ensure data quality, compliance, and that trusted data is used for analysis. Without an in-depth knowledge of data and associated metadata, organizations cannot truly safeguard and govern their data. Join this webinar to learn more about the data catalog and its role in data governance efforts.

During this webinar, industry experts will cover:

  • Data management challenges and priorities
  • The modern data catalog: what it is and why it is important
  • The role of the modern data catalog in your data quality and governance programs
  • The kinds of information that should be in your data catalog and why

Perform Enterprise Conversions at scale with Data Lineage Automation

Enterprise growth depends greatly on successful digital transformations. Today, large-scale data conversions are often combined with a migration to the cloud, giving the enterprise a chance to also modernize their data pipelines. Join us to hear from Sanjay Kalra (Digital Transformation Sherpa at Intelliswift) and Nissim Ohayon (Data Lineage Enabler at Octopai) as they unpack some of the challenges and solutions to consider when planning a sea of change in data pipelines.

This webinar will dive into:

  • Adopting a conversion factory strategy
  • Leveraging prebuilt accelerators and data analysis dashboards
  • Deploying pattern recognition algorithms for identifying regularities and irregularities
  • Accelerating the process using entity resolution via machine learning algorithms, intelligent recon, and audit technique
  • Shedding light on data pipelines, and the interdependence of each data asset with automated data lineage to ensure that all potential impact is assessed and resolved proactively

How to unify business intelligence & data science with a semantic layer

This session will provide practical advice on unifying business intelligence & data science, and show how to better enable data scientists the ability to operationalize predictions and features broadly across your organization, in any BI tool of your choice. Join our ML & AI technologist and a practitioner to learn about how using a semantic layer brings governance and consistency to BI users and it can now be leveraged to do the same for your data scientist teams. With a semantic layer, data scientists and Machine Learning Engineers can programmatically interact with unified metric definitions through python to create features needed for training and serving ML models, and append ML model prediction and metadata results to existing data models. You’ll see how a semantic layer bridges the gap between BI and AI by allowing data scientists to more effectively communicate their data preparation, feature engineering, and ML model results in a manner that everyone understands.

This session will cover:

  • How data science and business intelligence teams can better collaborate using the semantic layer
  • Delivering predictions and features to users faster than ever at scale using a semantic layer
  • Enabling data teams to model and deliver a semantic layer on data in the cloud
  • Maintaining a single source of governed metrics and business data for BI and Data Science
  • Achieving speed of thought query performance and consistent KPIs across any BI/AI tool like Excel, Power BI, Tableau, Looker, DataRobot, Databricks and more
