Why this discussion, and why now?

Organisations are experiencing fundamental shifts in how data is managed and delivered: from batch to real-time, from centralised to federated, from raw data to data products, and from historical reporting to real-time decision support.

First thoughts on scope and emphasis

• Examining the reality vs hype of key architectural shifts
• Real-time data access and decision-making capabilities
• Evolution towards federated data architectures
• Emergence of data products and their impact
• Practical challenges in implementing modern data architectures
• Organisational and cultural implications
• Integration with AI/ML initiatives
