Panel Discussion: Data’s Tryst with Cloud: Why Cloud is the Key for Data Initiatives?

As companies move beyond initial forays into the cloud, many are experiencing the advantages--and the challenges--of a multi-cloud environment. In fact, according to a recent Institute for Business Value (IBV) study, 85 percent of companies globally are already operating in a multi-cloud environment. By 2021, 96 percent plan to be using multiple clouds. But the migration is unlikely to be as simple as merely shifting a current architecture to a new location in the cloud. Each cloud vendor has its own architectural methods and ways of organizing data that are often incompatible with other clouds. If not accounted for in a well-designed strategy, a company may experience poor performance and higher-than-expected cost. At the root of the challenge is the nature of data and its rapid growth. When companies expand the number of services and applications they use, their data grows exponentially. But it isn’t the amount of data that is the real issue, but where it resides. And where it resides is often based on where it is collected and created. This session would throw light on synchronization of data and cloud.

Big data and IoT are distinctive ideas, but they depend on each other for ultimate success. Both emphasize the need for converting data into tangible insights that can be acted upon.

Today, we are sitting on mammoth amount of data. Going by several studies, in the past few years, we have generated data more than ever in the history of mankind. In fact, both unstructured data and structured data are expected to surge exponentially. Stored data is likely to grow close to 3X in the next 3 years.

Big data analytics is emerging as a key to analysing IoT generated data from “connected devices” which helps to take the initiative to improve decision making. The role of big data in IoT is to process a large amount of data on a real-time basis and storing them using different storage technologies.

Technological singularity, simply put, is the theoretical point in history at which artificial processing power allows technology to equal and merge with human intelligence. It has been the effort of AI scientists to give a machine thinking/cognitive ability resembling a human being. In times of a black swan event, maybe closing the gap to attaining Singularity is key. This session will explore how close we are to Singularity and how we can fast-track it to leap ahead of the crisis.

EMPOWERING INDUSTRY 4.0 WITH DATA & AI

Time: 11.30 AM – 12.30 PM

A smart factory made up of hyper-connected production processes comprises of various machines that all communicate with one another, relying on AI automation platforms to collect and analyse all types of data. In fact, AI is one of the emerging technologies being explored by manufacturers to improve product quality and operational efficiency. A recent IDC survey of global organisations that are already using AI solutions found that only 25% have developed an enterprise-wide AI strategy. There are immense quantities of data that have not even been digitized or organized in a way that enables AI to use them.

The pandemic has necessitated companies to step up their efforts to embrace digital transformation and align themselves with evolving consumer needs. With manufacturing being the backbone of the Indian economy, the implementation of technology in this sector is all about unleashing the true potential of products and solutions for the consumers. Analytics and IIoT play a major role in Industry 4.0, identifying patterns, behaviours and bringing real-time data to the fingerprints of manufacturers. The way ahead is the transformation of manufacturers into cognitive enterprises leveraging exponential technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence to predict patterns both in structured and unstructured data to provide real-time information helping the industry to make data-driven decisions.

HOW AI ENSURES SUCCESS IN TIMES OF RAPID CHANGE

Time: 12.00 PM – 01.00 PM

Leading organizations are investing in AI to realize the value of their data in totally new ways, enabling them to predict and shape future outcomes. These leaders are interested in how they can create intelligent workflows that automate decisions and experiences – and how to enable their people to do higher value work all the while reducing costs in this post pandemic world.

While AI is the defining transformation technology, using it can seem difficult. To turn AI plans into measurable outcomes, organizations must first address AI-adoption challenges. These include:

  • Tracking performance of production AI and its impact on business goals, with actionable metrics, in a single console
  • Governing and explaining AI
  • Maintaining regulatory compliance by tracing and explaining AI decisions across workflows
  • Intelligently detecting and correcting bias to improve outcomes

AI isn’t the future; its how savvy organizations are carving out real business advantages in the present.

Today, organizations are at a crossroads in their digital transformation efforts. Companies across all verticals — from manufacturing to retail to healthcare — want to gain flexibility, increase control, and lower their Total Cost of Ownership. CFOs are in a fix between managing the cost and at the same time not hindering the digital transformation growth of the organization which is needed more than ever.

As we enter the post- Covid phase of the cloud market, companies require an approach that enables them to survive in these tough times and be future ready. In a nutshell, there’s an urgent need to overhaul and remodel business functions and operations. And it is certain that they will have to look at technology as it is considered as the great leveller or enabler.

Data” The Most Important Tech Trend Today

Data is the new oil even though cliché is yes, a very important resource on the face of the earth. A very safe prediction that one can make is that data is and will continue eating the world. As the data driven AI systems replace rule driven approaches, they also make hard acquired knowledgebases and traditional technology infrastructures irrelevant in the process. This gives an opportunity to the David’s of the modern world to disrupt the market with data driven innovations and challenge the Goliaths.
