Recorded live at the Accelerate conference, this episode of DM Radio explores why data - not applications - is becoming the foundation of enterprise AI. Join host Eric Kavanagh as he speaks with Chadd Kenney of Everpure about the shift toward data-centric architectures and the importance of shared context for powering intelligent AI agents and real-time decision-making.
Next, Shawn Rosemarin of Everpure explains why context is to AI what memory is to humans, illustrating how connected, meaningful data enables more accurate, trustworthy outcomes. Together, these conversations reveal why contextual intelligence is emerging as the key ingredient for the next generation of enterprise systems.
The forcing function of AI continues to reshape how organizations think about data architecture. It's no longer enough to simply centralize information in warehouses and lakes. AI systems require context, lineage, relationships, governance, and semantic understanding to deliver trustworthy outcomes at scale. The solution? An AI-ready knowledge architecture.
On this episode of DM Radio, we'll examine the nexus of semantic intelligence and metadata management as core components of an enterprise knowledge graph. Eric Kavanagh will host Sebastian Schmidt of Digital Science, who will demonstrate why a solid data foundation and intelligence layer - such as provenance tracking - are crucial for AI trust. They will show how AI Agents, RAG Architectures, and next-generation discovery platforms will only coalesce around trusted, contextualized data.
Attendees will learn:
- Why semantic intelligence is becoming the control plane for enterprise AI
- How metadata, lineage, and provenance improve trust and reduce hallucinations
- Why knowledge graphs outperform siloed architectures for AI-driven discovery
- How AI-ready architectures support RAG, agentic AI, and contextual reasoning at scale
AI agents are now standard in enterprise workflows but most organizations have no idea they've created a governance time bomb. When agents connect to Salesforce, Snowflake, Tableau, and a dozen other systems through separate MCPs, the result is a fragmented audit trail with no single record of who accessed what data, under whose authorization, or how an answer was generated. Under GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, and the EU AI Act, that's big regulatory exposure.
Join Shawhin Mosadeghzad and Terrence Sheflin as they examine why multi-MCP architectures create compliance gaps that traditional data governance tools weren't built to address, and why the fix has to happen at the access point. We'll discuss how a single governed semantic layer acts as the sole MCP for AI data access, enforcing row- and column-level security, logging every query with full user attribution and deterministic lineage, and satisfying the individual attribution requirements regulators are actively closing in on without sacrificing architectural control or LLM flexibility.
Join DMRadio for a compilation of interviews recorded live at We Make Future in Bologna, where industry experts share perspectives on data management, AI, analytics, cloud technologies, and innovation across the enterprise.
A mass extinction event approaches, but not because of a meteor or global warming. The culprit this time is AI, and in particular, Large Language Models like ChatGPT and Claude. In their crosshairs are a slew of vendors selling analytical functionality: dashboards, visualizations, analyses, semantic layers, OLAP cubes and the like.
For decades, these vendors have dominated enterprise decision-making, commanding 5, 6, even 7-figure pricetags to provide the scaffolding needed for insights. The LLMs now threaten that entire landscape, disrupting the foundation of data-driven workflows. True, the results of GenAI can be inaccurate, but their ease of use and relatively low cost will trump those concerns.
Check out this hard-hitting session to hear DM Radio Host, Eric Kavanagh explain what's happening and why it matters to analysts everywhere. He'll examine the impact on the analytics industry, and explore ways that these vendors can stay relevant. He'll also offer advice for businesses looking to remain data-driven, and why data prep is where the action will be.

In their song, Everything to Everyone, the band Everclear gave voice to every IT team on the planet who struggles to keep the lights on due to the ever-rising tide of technical debt and SaaS licensing. "The hand you hold is the hand that holds you down!" Of course, they were likely not explicitly referencing the IT landscape, but the mantra surely sticks.
Today, at long last, there is a ray of hope for these battle-tested administrators, in the form of Deterministic Enterprise-native AI that promises more deterministic results. While GenAI grabs all the headlines for writing everything from press releases to poetry, a handful of enterprise engineers have been busy crafting a hybrid solution that fuses the generative power of LLMs, with the determinism of enterprise systems of record.

They'll explore the criticality of metadata management at scale, from outer space, down to the largest, most complex organizations in the world.
The first generation of data pipelines was built for humans. They moved data. They often broke. Engineers stepped in to fix them. While that world still exists, it now shares the stage with something far more demanding.
Today, machines and AI systems are first-class consumers of data. The workload requirements are exploding, rendering the manually tuned, hand-patched pipelines woefully insufficient. Data-driven organizations require a new paradigm, one in which an army of specialized agents are at-the-ready to scale and adapt.

Amid all the noise of AI hype, one thing remains constant: organizations still rely on trusted, reliable reporting as the foundation for decision-making. In fact, reporting is becoming more critical in an AI-first world, because governed, auditable data underpins every intelligent outcome. The question is how to architect for performance, scalability, and user expectations.
In this episode of DM Radio, Host Eric Kavanagh will be joined by Evelyn Chou and Jeff Hainsworth of insightsoftware Data + Analytics. We'll explore how architectural choices fundamentally shape reporting outcomes. Where should processing occur? There are key differences between web-based and server-side approaches, such as tradeoffs in interactivity, precision, scalability, and embedded analytics.
We'll also discuss the growing case for a hybrid strategy, where multiple reporting engines work together to meet diverse enterprise needs. From high-volume, back-end report generation to rich, interactive user experiences, modern analytics stacks increasingly demand flexibility, which should ideally be baked into the analytic architecture, not bolted on.

It's often not the model, the data, or even the technology. The failure rate of AI initiatives mostly stems from organizational friction. That's good news, because it should be fairly easy to solve. So says Sarang Bapat, a seasoned SVP of Data and Analytics, who crafted a heartfelt methodology that can energize your team, and breathe life into your AI initiatives.
Register for this DM Radio Virtual Summit to learn how a simple thought experiement can supercharge your Data and AI Initiatives. Bapat will demonstrate how he leads teams with an intutive balance of three equally critical components:
- Head — defining the right business idea or use case by working with subject matter experts who have strong domain experience and insights; * Hands — translating that idea into a technically sound, scalable solution, ideally leveraging existing infrastructure; and, * Heart — championing, communicating, and democratizing the capability so it's adopted throughout the organization.
Sustainable impact happens only when Head, Hands, and Heart work together, when business-led ideas are built with rigor and actively socialized, trusted, and reused across teams. That's when data initiatives stop being experiments and start becoming enterprise capabilities that drive productivity, simplify processes, and improve customer and employee experiences at scale.

The modern data stack is a collection of cloud-based tools and technologies used to collect, store, process, and analyze data in a scalable way. It is a departure from traditional data stacks, which were often based on on-premises infrastructure and were not as well-suited for handling large volumes of data or complex data pipelines. But with this new approach comes complexity, and organizations must determine if the value outweighs the cost. Another, newer route has emerged for companies interested in serious analytical power: Hyperscale! This new architecture leverages an array of technical advances, including compute-adjacent storage, simplified data pipelines that make data available to more users, built-in integrations for a whole host of data sources, and machine learning algorithms baked into the architecture.

Cloud may be the new center of gravity, but the edge really does change everything: architecture, assumptions, workloads, and possibilities. You name it, and edge computing affects the end-to-end workflow of modern business. How can your company take advantage of this exciting new frontier?
Check out this episode of DM Radio to find out! Host @eric_kavanagh will interview several guests, including Kris Beevers of NS1, Tony Craythorne of Zadara, and Saimon Michelson of CTERA. They discuss how to deal with the constraints faced by customers out on the edge, the right way to handle moving data, and how AI technology transforms the current business landscape.
How fast is fast enough? Every hour, every minute, every second? Data has to move fast. Especially with the technology today, you have to be up to date on everything. The market is changing rapidly, so you need to get your analytics in real-time. Once you get to sub-second demands for analytics, that's a different class of solution, especially if you have hundreds or even thousands of analysts querying that data!
Join Eric Kavanagh as he talks to the SVP of Sales at GigaSpaces Technologies, Kevin Mergruen, and VP of Strategy at CelerData, Li Kang. Learn how In-Memory Data Grids work and find out how you can have real-time analytics. Remember, speed, consistency, and availability are mandatory regardless of what business you're in.

The cloud continues to change everything, but the rumors of on-prem's demise have been exaggerated. Traditional data centers will have a very long tail, even as cloud computing giants like Amazon, Microsoft and Google bolster their offerings. Cloud Native is the new call to arms, as organizations look to optimize their mission critical workflows across an increasingly heterogeneous technology topography.
But what, exactly, is Cloud Native? And how are today's innovators spanning multiple cloud environments while protecting their on-prem investments?

German Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein once wrote: “Some things cannot be said. They must be shown.” He was prophetically speaking about the power of visualization! These days, it’s not just data visualization that matters, but process viz as well.
To wit: the wildly popular orchestration tool, Airflow, which boasts 8 million downloads per month, is now being used by many organizations to map out a wide range of cloud and hybrid cloud scenarios. The broader trend line also shows classic Intranets and Web portals coming back, now serving as both process and analytics hubs. The goal is to synthesize views from across the business, even spanning multiple BI systems; and also enable front-line workers to take analytics-driven actions that help the business.

Almost everything is complex in businesses. Careful is as careful does! An old cliche but a good one whose wisdom strikes at the heart of the ongoing data quality renaissance. In the old days, data quality initiatives were one-off projects of cleansing addresses or fixing misplaced surnames. But on day one after the project, entropy slowly crept in again as false data overwrote the excellent stuff. For today's savvy practitioners, many effective ways of fixing data quality are much more durable and efficient. Find out how this episode of DM Radio as Host @eric_kavanagh interviews several experts, including Rohit Choudhary of Acceldata, Kyle Kirwan of Bigeye, and Marie Hense of Toluna. Tune in to have a glimpse of what the future looks like.

The data analytics industry once relied almost exclusively on the brute-force power of Extract-Transform-Load technologies to move the data in place. Then came ELT, which enabled more context to be preserved, and also expedited matters nicely. Data Virtualization has also made a name for itself, and remains in force. But what of the modern data pipeline?

"The whole world is up for grabs right now with respect to data!" So notes Houseware Co-Founder Divyansh Saini, whose technology gives business users direct access to data-driven metrics in Snowflake. And when they say metrics, they're referring to the actual, live data of the business, thus (finally) empowering business people to quickly and easily cobble together meaningful views of what's really happening.
That's a new and remarkable spin on Data Orchestration, but it's not the only one! Check out this episode of #DMRadio to learn more, as Host @eric_kavanagh interviews Saini, and two special guests: Chris Sachs of Swim, whose company is reinventing the entire data supply chain, opening the door to actual real-time in ways never before seen in this industry; and Taylor McGrath of Rivery.io, whose company is simplifying data orchestration for business users across the board!
We all know that data drives the information economy, but the efficiency of that engine makes all the difference. That's why DataOps came to be: Savvy practitioners realized that taking a quality manufacturing approach to data management could yield wonders for agility, awareness, and growth.

Check out this episode of DM Radio to find out! Host @eric_kavanagh will interview Robin Tandon of Denodo, Michael Nixion of Snaplogic, and a special guest.
There's never a wrong time for real-time! Historically, the challenge around real-time analytics was mostly the cost, but times have changed. A whole host of new solutions have recently arrived, with others coming down the pike.
Check out this episode of #DMRadio to learn more! Host @eric_kavanagh will interview several expert guests, including Analytics veteran Greg Michaelson, formerly of DataRobot, along with Fadi Azhari of Star Rocks and Damian Black formerly of SQLStream. Topics discussed will include analytic databases, MPP architecture, the power of indices, and how to leverage vectorization for the optimal query engine.
Could there be a hotter topic than Data Mesh these days? Some say it's still largely theoretical, but the promise of data mesh does make sense: Give discrete groups within an organization dominion over their own data sets, which would be housed within a broader data platform that enables self-service development. A key aspect of the vision is to build data products that are designed and managed by focused departmental teams. Ideally, computational power (and cost) would be carved out according to business value. Sound intriguing?

From data warehousing to data lakes, and now with so-called Data Lakehouses, we're seeing an ever greater appreciation for the importance of architecture. The success of Snowflake proved that data warehousing is a live and well; but that's not to say that data lakes aren't viable. The key is to find a balance of both worlds, thus enabling the rapid analysis afforded by warehousing, and the strategic agility via explorative ad hoc queries that data lakes provide.

Prepare for takeoff! DM Radio Host @eric_kavanagh will interview speakers and delegates from the Airside.Live Conference in NYC! We'll learn about the rise of Analytic Governance, and why it's central to the Information Economy with Patrick Connolly of DataOps.live and Bobby Napiltonia of Okera.
Analytics are now table stakes in business. Every company needs a strategy for capturing, processing and enriching data to create insights. In fact, the scale of today's analytics landscape is now so vast -- whether in terms of data sources, or just the raw number of analysts trying to examine data -- that old-fashioned ways of governing analytics are falling over. Automation is increasingly important for granting access to critical data sets. And the companies who crack that code? They'll be the winners.
Check out this episode of DM Radio to learn more! Host @eric_kavanagh will interview two speakers from the upcoming Airside.Live conference in New York City, May 24-26. Guests including Gregor Sewinksi of Payability and Eric Johnson of Momentive.
With Analytics going mainstream, organizations face a critical bottleneck: Authorizing access to the right people at the right time, a job that can no longer be done manually. Forward-looking companies now realize that dynamic governance is key to success in the Information Economy. How can your organization solve this expanding riddle?
Check out this episode of DM Radio to find out! Host @eric_kavanagh will interview several experts, including Jonathan Andrews, Charter Communications; Steve Fazio, Talend; Sanjeev Mohan, SanjMo; and Nong Li, Okera. This show will also preview the upcoming AIRSIDE22 Conference in New York City, May 24-26.
The Information Economy runs on data, 24/7, 365 days a year. There’s no down time; and no more excuses. The criticality of data has in fact created new imperatives that are shaping the technologies and methods that deliver information assets. The solution is increasingly not an either/or on the choice of database; but rather a comprehensive data fabric, one which provides the kind of access, agility and durability that companies need today. What are the keys to success? Check out this episode of DM Radio to find out, as Host @eric_kavanagh interviews Industry Analyst Sanjeev Mohan, Christopher Gi of Ultra Mobile, and Ravi Shankar of Denodo. They’ll discuss a Logical Data Fabric, and how it compares to concepts like Data Mesh and Data Virtualization.
Why generate your own data when you can buy or borrow someone else's? That's the value prop for Data Exchanges, and they are taking off. Check out this episode of DM Radio to learn ore as Host Eric Kavanagh interviews several innovative companies, including Nexla, iGrant.io and ProcureDox.
Making sense of data is the cornerstone of analytics. Data Catalogs are increasingly a valuable tool for achieving this critical goal. Find out why on this episode of DM Radio, as Host @Eric_Kavanagh interviews Ken Barth, CEO of Catalogic; and Tim Gasper, VP of Product at data.world
When information systems go offline, bad things happen. And these days, with highly complex information architectures that connect scores, even hundreds of sources and targets, the situation can get out of hand quickly. That's where observability comes into play: knowing when pipelines break can make all the difference in the world. Check out this episode of DMRadio to find out why!
Before COVID-19, only 6 percent of US office employees worked remotely - a figure that quickly rose to 65 percent throughout the pandemic. This dramatic change in structure demands an even stronger need for communication between teams, especially those that work with data.
So what metrics are used to track teamwork efficiency in this brave new world? Are the KPIs that previously defined success the same? Join Eric Kavanagh of Bloor Group and Danielle Oberdier of DiKayo Data as they glean insights from a panel of experts on DM Radio.
When the center of gravity moves from the ground (on-prem) to the clouds (any number of them), you know it's time to make some adjustments! Cloud is clearly top-of-mind for enterprises these days, and not just for storage. But where data persists makes a difference, whether in this availability zone or that! Find out the nuts and bolts by checking out this episode of DMRadio!
We all know moving can be stressful, especially with fragile and important items we just pray make it to their destination intact. Cloud migration is no different. The “lift and shift” approach is focused on preserving the state of your applications and data as you move them from your local storage to the cloud. This “lift and shift” strategy can facilitate smooth traveling for our data as we inevitably switch to cloud-based systems for our work. Join us on DM Radio to discuss how to apply the “lift and shift” approach to your current cloud migrations.
If you're used to watching Netflix on one computer, working on another and sporadically checking Twitter on your phone, you may not believe in the existence of "a single pane of glass." The term refers to a sole interface that presents data consolidated from many sources in one display. In the realm of multi-cloud management, it's increasingly a must-have.
What makes a pane of class attractive to businesses? The usual constructs apply: an intuitive GUI, connections to critical data sources, sensible alerts and anomaly detection, and collaborative functionality. Find out more on this episode of DMRadio as Host @eric_kavanagh interviews Nong Li of Okera, Tytus Kurek of Canonical, and a special guest.
Information assets may not have physical weight, but that doesn't mean data has no gravity. And in the new, cloud-centric world evolving around us, many new data sets are born in the cloud, where they will likely remain, whether for analytical or transactional workloads. That said, on-prem data centers will have a very long tail. What's an organization to do?

We all have a relationship with data these days. We either use it strategically via some analytical tool; or we create the data for others to leverage. Increasingly, we're realizing that data is not just powerful, it's personal. There are conversations about data ownership, data stewardship. And what about using data for AI? There had better be some governance! We'll talk all things data in this wide-ranging discussion with several industry experts, including Joshua Drake, Command Prompt, Inc; Kendall Clark, Stardog; and Matt Heelan, Illumisoft
Today's successful companies know how to automate critical business functions. The biggest winners found a way to get strategic about this process, leveraging a range of technologies, from traditional automation to RPA and ultimately IPA.

Once the pinnacle of analytics projects, dashboards are reportedly falling out of favor with business users. How so? The various arguments say they’re too static, too simple, too complex, or just too staid. Other luminaries suggest that most use cases for data enrichment should bypass the dashboard and get plugged right into an operational system. That’s fair enough, but are dashboards really going away? Don’t count on it!
