Webinar Speaker: David Stodder, TDWI Research Fellow

Time: 9:00 a.m. PT/ 12:00 p.m. ET
Data integration—the process of combining data from diverse sources into a unified and usable format—has become a strategic imperative as organizations pursue AI-driven innovation. In today’s data landscape, enterprises must integrate an increasingly complex mix of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data originating from legacy systems, CRM and ERP platforms, SaaS applications, databases, APIs, and real-time event streams. This diversity challenges traditional integration approaches, which are often brittle, batch-oriented, and designed primarily for tabular data in known schemas.
In this expert panel webinar, we’ll explore how the data integration landscape is evolving to support the needs of AI and other innovations. We’ll discuss the emergence of AI-infused pipelines, real-time data integration frameworks, and modern approaches designed to address unstructured and other new data types. Join us to hear how leading organizations are rethinking integration to unlock the full potential of their data.
