Don't blink, or you might miss a major development in the data industry! Databricks just announced acquisition of Okera, and of course Qlik is in the process of buying Talend. But there are lots of layoffs, too: Practically every company in the data business is going through layoffs right now, usually around 10%. What will that mean? Well, fewer people picking up the pieces and ultimately doing more work! That will likely result in more use of ChatGPT and similar Large Language Models (LLM), like Dolly 2.0, by Databricks. And then there's quantum computing! The foks at Harmon Kardon know a thing or two about all that!

Most successful large organizations still run mainframe computers. In fact, many mission-critical processes run on mainframes every single day. But should they? Increasingly, companies are looking to modernize their mainframe strategy, usually by moving to the cloud. What does this entail?

Check out this episode of InsideAnalysis to find out! Host @eric_kavanagh will speak with Rocket Software Product VP Doug Johnson. They'll discuss how many large organizations are approaching data modernization of critical systems supporting M&A, compliance, and improving customer and employee experiences.

For once, the hype cycle is on point! Generative AI is a big deal. But there are many concerns to be considered, including accuracy, quality and accountability.

Check out this InsideAnalysis episode with Christian Dawson of i2Coalition to hear about the Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative, which aims to establish guidelines for collecting user data online in a more ethical and transparent way.

The speakers provide insights into the importance of user consent, data security, and accountability in web data collection, and encourage listeners to support the initiative and advocate for ethical data collection practices in their own online experiences.

As organizations become increasingly digital, the finance team's job should get easier. Greater transparency into payables helps navigate challenging economic conditions. Better forecasts enable informed decisions about where to focus expenditures. And connected systems can yield visibility across the organization, thus fueling better collaboration both internally, and with key customers and partners.

Exciting times for us data geeks! The 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors have been upgraded with the launch of two new processors - Sapphire Rapids HBM and Ponte Vecchio.

Who Are You? No, really! That's what modern systems want to know when you show up at a Web site, or try to log into an enterprise system. And it's really important to get the answer right. Failure to do so can be bad, or really bad. But annoying your employees, partners and customers is also a risk. How are today's innovators solving for this key chellenge? Check out this episode of InsideAnalysis to find out as Host @eric_kavanagh interviews Eric Olden of Strata Identity, Arick Goomanovsky of Ermetic, and Steve Evans of Teneo.

The potential of AI is finally coming into focus, and it is vast. OpenAI's ChatGPT3 has proven remarkably adept at writing poems, tweets, articles, even fictional stories. Oh, and it writes code, too! But just as its meteoric rise seemed unstoppable, something went sideways. What does this mean for Ethical AI? We'll discuss on this episode of #InsideAnalysis as Host @eric_kavanagh interviews several experts, including AI visionary and Aible CEO, Arijit Sengupta, plus industry Analyst Shawn Rogers, and Amalgam Insights Founder, Hyoun Park. We'll discuss the difference between a large language model, and an information model, and why the latter is crucial for gaining business value from AI in an ethical, responsible manner.
