Grey Beards Prognosticate on Future Data Architectures

Most organizations today strive to be data driven…but what does it mean to be Data Centric?  Data Centric Architecture does not equate to Data Driven.  Our Panel members will discuss global business’s long marriage to multiple vendors’ applications with proprietary metadata structures,  the data silos this has created, and the challenges and opportunities this has presented, before looking forward into the emerging Data Centric Architecture. Decisional Architecture will be a theme through this discussion from the Traditional Top-down/Bottom-up architectures in use today to the implications on how Analytics might be done in a Data Centric organization. featuring 3 leading data luminaries – David McComb (Denver, Co), Barry Devlin (Bristol, UK), John O’Gorman (Calgary)
