In this episode, we share a webinar hosted by Progress about data and AI readiness. 

Here is the webinar description:

In today’s business landscape, data is your most powerful asset, but only if it’s accessible, digestible and ready for implementation. Progress recently surveyed enterprise leaders to understand the state of data readiness, uncovering critical insights across four key areas.

In this on-demand webinar, you'll hear David Loshin, Data and Information expert from Knowledge Integrity, Inc., dive deeper into the findings from Progress’ latest report. The report results highlight that while many organizations recognize the potential of AI, data challenges are still a major barrier.   

You’ll leave the webinar with key takeaways around topics like these:

  • Data Literacy & Accessibility: Are teams able to find and use the data they need?
  • Business Initiative Support: How well does your data landscape enable innovation and growth?
  • Data Readiness for AI: Is your data prepared to fuel AI and advanced analytics initiatives?
  • Data Governance & Risk Management: Are proper controls in place to facilitate  compliant, trustworthy AI outcomes?
