Datasource Consulting, an EXL Company

This session will include a moderated Q&A featuring questions from the live audience.

As organizations look to enable self-service, modernize their data architectures, and reduce time to value, they are increasingly turning to software that combines a comprehensive set of data management and analytics capabilities into one unified platform.

These highly scalable platforms include data discovery, data pipelines, data modeling, data quality, advanced analytics, data governance, data access, and data ops features in a single offering, eliminating the need to purchase and integrate multiple tools. Some will say that we’ve seen this play before and it hasn't ended well, and so the question is whether this time is different.

In this session, Steve Dine will discuss the challenges of today’s modern tools and architectures, the characteristics of a unified enterprise data analytics platform, and whether this platform will continue its recent rise. He will provide practical guidance to help you determine whether this approach makes sense for your organization, and how to address unification challenges when it is not an option.
