Semantic Layers in Data Strategy: Enabling Governance & Democratization

In the era of data-driven decision-making, organizations are under increasing pressure to empower business users with self-service analytics while maintaining strict data governance and compliance. Striking the right balance between data democratization and governance is critical, but not without challenges. This session explores how semantic layers serve as the cornerstone of modern enterprise data strategies, enabling organizations to adopt a hub-and-spoke governance model.

The hub-and-spoke approach combines centralized governance of critical data with decentralized innovation at the business unit level. By implementing a semantic layer, enterprises create a shared, business-friendly abstraction of complex data, providing consistent definitions, robust security, and real-time accessibility. This ensures a single source of truth across analytics tools and teams, fostering both agility and control.

Takeaways:

  • A clear understanding of how semantic layers simplify complex data governance.
  • Practical strategies to enable decentralized innovation without losing central control.
  • Real-world case studies showcasing the business impact of semantic layer implementations.

Gain actionable insights into leveraging semantic layers to address governance challenges, accelerate insights, and foster a collaborative, data-driven culture! Join us to explore how the intersection of governance, semantic layers, and the hub-and-spoke model can transform your enterprise data strategy.

Accelerate Microsoft 365 Copilot Adoption with Data Governance Controls

Microsoft 365 Copilot brings transformative potential, empowering employees to access and analyze vast amounts of enterprise data within M365 applications. While this significantly boosts employee productivity, it also introduces new governance and security risks. In the rush to adopt Copilot, many organizations have overlooked essential data governance controls, leading to unintended exposure of sensitive information. Employees may unknowingly query confidential data, such as salary details, M&A plans, or even passwords—information they should not be able to access.

This webinar will guide you through best practices for safely integrating Microsoft 365 Copilot, by putting in place robust governance and security measures, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring that sensitive data remains protected.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understanding the security implications of Microsoft 365 Copilot
  • Evaluating your M365 environment’s readiness for Copilot
  • Implementing a 6-step framework for automated M365 data security and governance

Ensuring Trust in the AI Era: Integrating LLMs with Data Catalogs

AI language models are now processing vast amounts of corporate data, delivering insights faster than ever. But here’s the key point: You can’t trust an LLM. However, you CAN trust AI systems using LLMs when they’re guided by a foundation of strong governance and accountability.

Join EDM Council and data.world for our upcoming webinar where we’ll explore how to build trustworthy systems out of untrustworthy components. Large Language Models (LLMs) can be powerful tools when harnessed effectively, but their unpredictability can create challenges—much like musicians needing a skilled conductor to bring everything into harmony. We’ll discuss how organizations can implement governance and data catalog frameworks that act as the ‘conductor,’ ensuring AI systems work transparently, reliably, and in compliance with regulations.

In this session, industry experts will share insights on building AI systems that integrate LLMs, emphasizing the need for governance, data lineage, and quality control to maintain trust in these systems. We’ll delve into real-world examples and case studies, demonstrating practical approaches to managing LLMs while maintaining control and accountability.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

  • The challenges of integrating unpredictable LLMs into enterprise data workflows
  • How data catalogs provide the governance, lineage, and quality control essential for trustworthy AI systems
  • A practical demonstration of building trust in an LLM-based system for regulatory compliance
  • Strategies for ensuring data integrity and transparency in AI-driven decision-making processes

Through diverse case studies, this webinar will provide a deeper understanding of how organizations across industries are navigating the complexities of AI-powered enterprise data management. Whether you’re a CTO looking to deploy advanced AI solutions or a CFO concerned about regulatory risks, you’ll walk away with actionable strategies for fostering trust and governance in AI systems.

This is an opportunity to gain insights into the intersection of AI and data governance, learning from real-world challenges and solutions that are shaping the future of enterprise data management.

Preparing for the Future: Optimizing Your SAP Data Infrastructure

As the 2027 sunset of SAP ECC approaches, organizations are under pressure to migrate to SAP S/4HANA and modernize their data infrastructure.
