Further information

Hybrid data environments are now the norm, but turning that complexity into a competitive advantage takes more than connecting systems. It takes a Data Fabric approach, where AI-driven automation, semantic context, and governance work as one operating model.

This webinar skips the architecture theory. BARC analysts share independent findings on where organizations are succeeding with Data Fabric, and where AI readiness still falls short. You will learn practical steps to strengthen data discovery, quality, and interoperability across cloud, on-premises, and domain-owned sources; make governance enable self-service and AI initiatives rather than block them; and prioritize the capabilities that separate organizations moving to productive AI from those stuck in pilot mode.

Join us to see how leading teams deliver trusted, compliant, high-quality data fast, and how you can do the same.

  • Do you work for a company that offers software solutions (e.g., BI or ECM solutions)? Then please select "work for a software provider".
  • If your company offers IT/software consulting or services, then "work for an IT service provider/consulting firm" is the right choice.
  • Do you work or study in an educational institution such as a university or a research institute? Then choose "work/study in an educational institution".
