The Foundation of Data Driven Organisations
ABOUT
What’s DataNext Architecture all about??
Architecture is the foundation of every organisation's data strategy - it must align with the short and long term goals of the organisation whilst creating an environment that supports data collection, processing, analytical & ML workloads.
DataNext Architecture will deep dive into how organisations are using their architecture to create the foundation to become truly data driven. Showcasing how architecture underpins the value that an organisation derives from its data initiatives.
