Date: Tuesday, April 14, 2026
Time: 9:00 a.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. ET
As organizations experiment with generative and agentic AI, many are discovering that success depends more and more on their data foundation and the automation that supports it. TDWI research shows that a top priority for organizations is to make their data foundation AI-ready. That includes platforms and pipelines that connect governed, high-quality data to AI systems through repeatable and automated processes.
This webinar will explore how enterprises are building intelligent, end-to-end architectures that move data from ingestion to agentic applications with speed, trust, and control. Join us to learn how leaders are using automation to streamline the AI lifecycle. Topics Include:
- Automating the AI lifecycle from data to deployment
- Orchestration and workflow automation across platforms (including the use of agents!)
- Governance, lineage, and monitoring for AI pipelines
