Virtual CXO Roundtable Discussion On Building A Smarter, Faster Business With A Modern Data Strategy
In this post-pandemic digital era, where data is the key driver of business growth, having a traditional data strategy can put companies behind the curve. Enterprises are currently dealing with a massive amount of real-time streaming data, including management tasks such as database provisioning, patching, configuration, or backups. Alongside the rising concern of data privacy, businesses need to connect their data lake, data warehouse, and all of the purpose-built data stores into a coherent system that is secure and well-governed. And that’s where modern data strategy provides the right mix of data lakes and purpose-built data stores. A modern data strategy lets businesses break down data silos, empower their teams to run analytics and machine learning, and manage data with the proper security and data governance controls. That said, creating an effective data strategy is no small task — it requires building a scalable and robust data infrastructure and creating a data-driven mindset in the organisation. The process starts with moving data and workloads to the cloud, managing databases, building data-driven apps, analysing data and starting innovation with AI and ML. To that end, Amazon Web Services (AWS), in association with Analytics India Magazine, is organising a virtual CXO roundtable discussion on ‘Building a smarter, faster business with a modern data strategy,’ scheduled for September 22nd & October 7th, 2021. Join an exclusive group of influential, forward-thinking business leaders and analytics heads to understand the critical pain points in creating a modern data strategy and ways to address them in the current era. The roundtable session will be an excellent platform to hear from peers, colleagues & industry experts and engage in thought-provoking discussions. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from the esteemed panellists.
