16:50 Building An Intelligent Data Platform At One Kings Lane

During the last few years, being data driven is top priority for organizations. Becoming data driven requires the right combination of organizational data culture, governance process and scalable data platform.

With data growing rapidly, integration projects are becoming more complex. Organizations are facing lot of challenges with data platform scalability, skills gap and budget constraints. Focus at times is more on technology adoption than business opportunity realization.

Often companies end up with multiple platforms trying to adopt new technologies while the cost of legacy systems is piling up. Architecture design patterns used to implement data platforms are not scaling up to growing business needs.

During the presentation, Hemal will walk you through a new architecture approach - an Intelligent data platform that simplifies data integration patterns, adapts quickly to new technologies, resulting in increased business data ROI.
