Enterprises are increasingly recognizing the critical need for knowledge management (KM) to power cognitive AI. In fact, KM and AI are two sides of the same coin. Training a chatbot requires the same organized information that we use to train a human. When you engineer knowledge correctly, you serve the needs of people today and prepare for greater automation in the future. In fact, the long term success of the organization will depend on doing just that – especially when the competition builds high functionality bots that will produce lower costs and better customer service. Those without the capability will not be competitive.
In this panel discussion, our experts discuss examples and approaches that show how KM supports AI and how to ensure the success of your KM initiative.

The Increasing Criticality of MDM for Personalization for Customers and Employees
Master data management seems to be one of those perennial, evergreen programs that organizations continue to struggle with.
Every couple of years people say, “we're going to get a handle on our master data” and then spend hundreds of thousands to millions and tens of millions of dollars working toward a solution.
The challenge is that many of these solutions are not really getting to the root cause of the problem. They start with technology and begin by looking at specific data elements rather than looking at the business concepts that are important to the organization.
MDM programs are also difficult to anchor on a specific business value proposition such as improving the top line. Many initiatives are so deep in the weeds and so far upstream that executives lose interest and they lose faith in the business value that the project promises. Meanwhile frustrated data analysts, data architects and technology organizations feel cut off at the knees because they can't get the funding, support and attention that they need to be successful.
We've seen this time after time and until senior executives recognize the value and envision where the organization can go with control over its data across domains, this will continue to happen over and over again. Executives all nod their heads and say “Yes! Data is important, really important!” But when they see the price tag they say, “Whoa hold on there, it's not that important”.
Well, actually, it is that important.
We can't forget that under all of the systems, processes and shiny new technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning lies data. And that data is more important than the algorithm. If you have bad data your AI is not going to be able to fix it. Yes there are data remediation applications and there are mechanisms to harmonize or normalize certain data elements. But looking at this holistically requires human judgment: understanding business processes, understanding data flows, understanding dependencies and understanding of the entire customer experience ecosystem and the role of upstream tools, technologies and processes that enable that customer experience.
Until we take that holistic approach and connect it to business value these things are not going to get the time, attention and resources that they need.

Data Architecture - The Foundation for Enterprise Architecture and GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Organizations are faced with an increasingly complex data landscape, finding themselves unable to cope with exponentially increasing data volumes, compounded by additional regulatory requirements with increased fines for non-compliance. Enterprise architecture and data governance are often discussed at length, but often with different stakeholder audiences. This can result in complementary and sometimes conflicting initiatives rather than a focused, integrated approach. Data governance requires a solid data architecture foundation in order to support the pillars of enterprise architecture. In this session, IDERA’s Ron Huizenga will discuss a practical, integrated approach to effectively understand, define and implement an cohesive enterprise architecture and data governance discipline with integrated modeling and metadata management.
Making advanced data environments all work together is an ongoing challenge. Data savvy organizations are taking a more measured and coordinated approach to their machine learning, analytics and data engineering infrastructures.
These slides--based on the webinar from leading IT analyst firm Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) and Cloudera--delve into how the world of cloud implementations have changed for the better and the future of an enterprise grade cloud environment for your organization using the right resources.
DevOps is to Infrastructure as Code, as DataOps is to...?Data Con LA
Data Con LA 2020
Description
The idea that “Software Is Eating the World” has been with us for over a decade. The flexibility and agility that it provides has been central to its impact on every industry and even to the process of its own production. Software development itself underwent a revolution through the Agile Movement, central to which was the shift in organizational dynamics embodied by DevOps, which was rooted in collaboration between development and operations teams to enable rapid, fluid delivery of software to customers. The DevOps organizational shift was enabled by Infrastructure As Code (IaC), the complementary technological shift that advocated for infrastructure provisioning and configuration to be automated through flexible, reliable software instead of complex, error-prone, manual processes. It unlocked speed and consistency in software development and deployment, between development and production. Together, DevOps and IaC as the paired organizational and technological shifts were the proverbial grease that streamlined software development.
Today, we see the movie replaying. Except, we are graduating from a Software (driven) World to a Data (driven) World. DataOps has emerged as the organizational mindset shift essential to unlocking the value of data in the enterprise. What will be the concomitant technological shift that will enable the modern, data driven enterprise? We posit that Data Transformation will be the accompanying parallel, technological shift in the data world that will enable rapid creation and reconfiguration of advanced analytics using software and in a manner that preserves consistency between development and production.
In this talk, we will discuss:
Motivations behind the movements in both worlds
The core constructs of each of the movements in both worlds
The impact of being software driven in both worlds
Explore the elegant symmetry of the Software and Data Worlds and how they interoperate
Learn how Data Transformation can set the foundation for the modern data driven enterprise and enable a quantum leap in Digital Transformation

According to Forrester (http://www.forrester.com/Benchmark+Your+BI+Environment/fulltext/-/E-RES103661), ⅓ of organizations reap a triple-digit ROI on their BI investments. The problem for the other ⅔ is that the complexities of the BI landscape are prohibiting them from delivering the insights that their business users need, in a relevant and timely manner.
Our guest Boris Evelson, a leading expert in BI at Forrester Research, joins GoodData to discuss how Cloud BI can improve the agility of your organization.
In this 1-hour session they discuss:
- Current state of the BI landscape
- Complexities forcing change in the industry
- How Cloud BI alleviates many of those challenges
- Specific ROI stories and use cases
Similar to EIS Webinar: Building the AI Powered Enterprise (20)
In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) stands at the forefront of business innovation, Information Architecture (IA) is at the core of functionality. See “There’s No AI Without IA” – (from 2016 but even more relevant today)
Understanding and leveraging how Information Architecture (IA) supports AI synergies between knowledge engineering and prompt engineering is critical for senior leaders looking to successfully deploy AI for internal and externally facing knowledge processes. This webinar be a high-level overview of the methodologies that can elevate AI-driven knowledge processes supporting both employees and customers.
Core Insights Include:
Strategic Knowledge Engineering: Delve into how structuring AI's knowledge base is required to prevent hallucinations, enable contextual retrieval of accurate information. This will include discussion of gold standard libraries of use cases support testing various LLMs and structures and configurations of knowledge base.
Precision in Prompt Engineering: Learn the art of crafting prompts that direct AI to deliver targeted, relevant responses, thereby optimizing customer experiences and business outcomes.
Unified Approach for Enhanced AI Performance: Explore the intersection of knowledge and prompt engineering to develop AI systems that are not only more responsive but also aligned with overarching business strategies.
Guiding Principles for Implementation: Equip yourself with best practices, ethical guidelines, and strategic considerations for embedding these technologies into your business ecosystem effectively.
This webinar is designed to empower business and technology leaders with the knowledge to harness the full potential of AI, ensuring their organizations not only keep pace with digital transformation but lead the charge. Join us to map a roadmap to fully leverage Information Architecture (IA) and AI chart a course towards a future where AI is a key pillar of strategic innovation and business success.
Many Organizations are struggling with the best way to govern and manage the use of Generative AI in the enterprise. There are many dimensions to this challenge ranging from ethical issues, data architecture and quality, legal and copywrite, operational and more.
This is why a governance framework needs to be carefully designed and put into place so the business can make the most use of this truly revolutionary technology, reduce and mitigate risks, control costs, maintain a positive employee and customer experience and most importantly, find competitive advantage in the marketplace.
Improving product data quality will inevitably increase your sales. However, there are other benefits (beyond improved revenue) from investing in product data to sustain your margins while lowering costs.
One poorly understood benefit of having complete, accurate, consistent product data is the reduction in costs of product returns. Managing logistics and resources needed to process returns, as well as the reduction in margins based on the costs of re-packaging or disposing of returned products, are getting more attention and analysis than in previous years.
This is a B2C and a B2B issue, and keeping more of your already-sold product in your customer’s hands will lower costs and increase margins at a fraction of the cost of building new market share.
This webinar will discuss how EIS can assist in all aspects of product data including increasing revenue and reducing the costs of returns. We will discuss how to frame the data problems and solutions tied to product returns, and ways to implement scalable and durable changes to improve margins and increase revenue.
In the rapidly evolving world of ChatGPT and Large Language Models (LLMs), businesses are understandably apprehensive. Numerous potential hazards and hurdles exist such as:
Unrealistic expectations of LLMs as a magic solution to managing corporate content without requisite human involvement
Difficulty distinguishing between creative outputs and fabricated responses (hallucinations)
Decisions around training models: balancing usefulness with the threat of exposing trade secrets or other proprietary knowledge
Absence of clear audit trails and citation sources
The risk of generating responses misaligned with company policies or brand image
Potential financial burden of proprietary LLMs and related enterprise software platforms
In this webinar, we will examine a structured approach to harvest, utilize, and protect corporate knowledge resources. We will explore how both commercial and open-source large language models can be leveraged to deliver precise conversational responses without jeopardizing intellectual property.
Learn how your organization can effectively use LLM based applications for competitive advantage. Using a general LLM will provide efficiency, but through standardization. Differentiation using your corporate terminology and knowledge will allow for competitive advantage. You don’t have to deploy ChatGPT to benefit from these approaches. They will improve the information metabolism of the enterprise and pave the way for advanced AI applications.
In this session we will be discussing the challenges the organization faced in content usability, traceability, and findability, hindering their internal training workflows and access to critical knowledge assets.
We will also discuss what’s next on the content and information horizon, including the role of machine learning and why these approaches are needed for AI-Powered applications, including LLMs and ChatGPT types of information access.
Generative AI is getting all the attention, headlines, and industry hype. Organizations are looking at how it can be used to create better employee and customer experiences by unlocking the potential stored in the vast troves of unstructured data that house knowledge assets.
We will begin by providing an overview of the fundamental concepts and advances in generative AI, followed by an in-depth examination of the importance of knowledge management in developing, implementing, and improving these systems.
We’ll discuss knowledge management approaches for the organization and retrieval of information, how retrieval fits in with content generation, and the challenges and opportunities it presents for the enterprise.
Some product information management (PIM) tools make it difficult to change core data models once they have been set up in the system. To avoid costly rework, you can utilize a “pre-PIM” design tool as a PIM accelerator. This class of software allows you to:
**Iterate on designs before committing to a PIM architecture
Improve data quality
**Collaborate on decision-making and audit trails
**Set up metrics around product data and attribute structure
**Correlate performance measures with metrics – product data and hierarchy improvements are correlated with user behaviors and outcomes
**Integrate governance content prior to PIM load
**Decrease reliance on spreadsheets
While some PIM tools include a subset of these functions, they are often lacking in flexibility, functionality, and integration capabilities, especially around product data model and hierarchy design changes.
In this webinar our PIM experts introduce a pre-PIM software solution that enables fluid design changes while ensuring data integrity, reducing risk, increasing stakeholder engagement, and showing clear ROI on investments in product data.
If you want to deliver a truly personalized product experience and strengthen customer loyalty, a Product Information Management System (PIM) is a must. PIM systems ensure clean, complete, and consistent data to enhance both the customer and employee experience. With intuitive management of complex product information, PIM unites internal teams with better visibility and reporting.
In this session our experts in enterprise information architecture and PIM technology explain ways you can:
--Streamline the complexity of supply chain information
--Publish consistent product information across all channels
--Adapt quickly to market changes and bring products to market faster
--Increase the total performance and profitability your Ecommerce business

Earley Executive Roundtable for May 2016. Topic: Predictive Analytics, AI and the Promise of Personalization. Panelists are Seth Earley, EIS; Julie Penzott, Amplero; Adam Pease, Articulate Software. Host: Dino Eliopulos, EIS
Governance is the glue that holds various content, knowledge and data management initiatives together. It is increasingly necessary as a component of customer experience and marketing automation and integration initiatives. The challenge is that governance is not an exciting topic and it is difficult to get participation and buy in at the correct levels of the organization. How do you retain interest in these kinds of necessary programs? The answer is to tie governance to measurement of program and project progress, success and operations. Once governance is aligned with objectives and clearly defined measurement, the organization will focus the correct level of attention and governance will be successful.
This webinar will cover the challenges associated with data governance and the business impact of poor data quality on digital marketing programs and knowledge management systems. Expert panel members will discuss real-world examples of data governance best practices, how to avoid the common pitfalls and how to put a framework for a successful metrics-driven governance process in place.
Engaging with customers and providing an excellent customer experience depends on several capabilities:
having the right customer facing tools and technologies,
integrating internal sources of customer information to provide a clear picture of who they are,
and providing content needed to solve problems and meet customer needs in the context of their task.
The last is particularly challenging and requires that marketing organizations remove sources of friction in the content creation and management process.
In this month’s executive roundtable, we will discuss how improvements to search, content processes and data quality can all be achieved through a multi-faceted program to streamline knowledge management and collaboration and metrics that tie together seemingly disparate processes – such as customer satisfaction scores with data quality.
Search for the enterprise seems to have hit a wall. Bad search is the top complaint of users interacting with their internal data. Meanwhile, there is a seemingly never-ending flood of products, SaaS offerings and new solutions in the market all claiming and attempting to solve the problem.
In this roundtable, we will define what expectations organizations should really have about their search platforms and discuss what benefits to expect from using techniques like boosting, auto-classification, natural language processing, query expansion, entity extraction and ontologies. We will also explore what will supersede search in the enterprise.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
