Fast-Tracking Enterprise AI: From Data Foundation to Intelligent Action
Webinar Speaker: Donald Farmer, Research Fellow
Date: Thursday, March 26, 2026
Time: 9:00 a.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. ET
Join TDWI research fellow Donald Farmer and experts from SAP and Google Cloud to discover how to bridge the gap between AI pilots and production-grade intelligence. As enterprise AI ambitions outpace data readiness, this session explores building a unified foundation that preserves the semantic richness of your operational data.
We will examine how architectural innovations—such as zero-copy, bi-directional access between cloud data services and data platforms—can eliminate costly data replication, ensure governance, and ground intelligent agents with reliable context.
Benefits of Attending:
- Identify Constraints: Understand why data readiness, rather than model sophistication, is the primary hurdle to scaling AI.
- Optimize Architecture: Learn how zero-copy access, such as between SAP Business Data Cloud and BigQuery, removes friction and improves the economics of AI adoption.
- Unify Assets: Discover strategies for combining mission-critical SAP data with Google Cloud’s ecosystem to create richer inputs for analytics.
- Ensure Trust: Explore governance frameworks that are essential for maintaining compliance as AI agents operate with increasing autonomy.
- Take Action: Gain practical steps for moving your AI initiatives from experimental pilots to live production workloads.
