The Data & AI Evolution: From Legacy Warehouses to Intelligent Lakehouses
Details
With the current gold rush toward GenAI, it’s easy to feel like foundational data work has been pushed into the shadows. But the truth is simple: there is no AI without reliable data.
This month, we’re going back to the core of the Data Intelligence Platform. We’ll explore why modern architectures and "flipped" migration strategies are the only ways to actually make AI work at scale - rather than just being an expensive experiment.
Talk: Migrating EDW to Databricks - Flipping the Script on ROI
Speaker: Melance Nziza, Senior Consultant - Data Engineer at Syenchron Australia
The conventional "left-to-right" migration approach often leads to high costs and delayed value. Melance discusses why flipping the script - onboarding users to Databricks as early as possible - can de-risk your project and prove ROI before the first production pipeline is even finished.
