Webinar Speaker: Fern Halper, TDWI VP Research, Senior Research Director for Advanced Analytics
Date: Thursday, September 18, 2025
Time: 9:00 a.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. ET
New research from TDWI reveals a tough truth: while AI investments are accelerating, most organizations are struggling to deliver value. Fragmented data environments, brittle pipelines, and governance gaps are blocking the path to generative AI, agentic AI, and real-time intelligence. Only 8% of respondents in a recent TDWI survey stated that they were “completely ready” for AI and are scaling multiple AI applications on their current architecture.
Join TDWI VP of Research Fern Halper as she unpacks the findings from TDWI’s June 2025 report The Data Foundation for AI, followed by a candid fireside chat with leaders from Microsoft and Fivetran. Together, they’ll explore what it really takes to modernize your architecture, automate data movement, and scale AI across the enterprise without compromising trust or speed. Topics include:
- Important components for a successful AI data foundation
- Results from the latest TDWI research on data foundations for AI
- Best practices for bridging the readiness gap and accelerating AI success
