The document details a webinar series on data virtualization, focusing on addressing key data integration challenges within a bimodal IT framework. It contrasts Mode 1, which is predictable and structured, with Mode 2, which is exploratory and adaptive, while highlighting the implementation challenges of a bimodal organization. It also emphasizes the importance of data virtualization in integrating disparate data sources for real-time analytics and the role of advanced analytics in this context.

Source : Gartner Kick-Start Bimodal by Launching Mode 2
“Bimodal recognizes that there are areas of the enterprise that have more
certainty, objectives and clear cause and effect is understood, we can
predict and plan – Mode 1. In other areas, requirements are unclear and
changing, the relationship between action and outcome is uncertain, and
things are less well understood at the start – Mode 2”
Why Bimodal?

“Mode 2 is exploratory,
experimenting to solve new

Great idea but a challenge to implement
Not popular with leadership
“ In the digital era, CIOs not buying ‘this bimodal crap’ ” – CIO magazine*
Just make everything AGILE (i.e. lose waterfall and everything is delivered in sprints).
New roles, new processes, the setup of a Bimodal org can be prohibitive
Highly integrated systems can cause ownership issues.
Splitting teams can cause staff challenges (morale, resignations, etc.).
Budgetary challenges (who gets what?).

Empower the user
• Users are much more sophisticated
• Tools are much more intuitive and user friendly
• Easy Discovery/Collaboration via Data Catalogs
• Users can curate their own views of data
• Data Scientists & Analysts create new models & views for
general consumption
• AA is ubiquitous (All types of consumers use productionized
AI/ML algorithms)
• IT provides views to source data and manage
security/governance
• IT manages “production” process

There are external factors to consider.
Which ones?

What We’re Going To Do…
1. Search through the Data Catalog to identify useful
data sets
2. Prepare the data in the Design Studio
3. Analyze our datasets using Apache Zeppelin
4. Using Python, read the 2017 data and run it through
our ML algorithm for training
5. Use 2018 data to test the algorithm
6. Save the results and productionize our findings for
other users to explore

Work as advisor as well as provider
• Bimodal organization may be a stretch but a bimodal approach to
information sharing is possible.
• Start with “Island” Projects. Use them to polish processes and
methodologies, before expanding to more broader projects that
have dependencies etc.
• Connect business team with IT ambassadors (you already have
them) and define workable communication methodologies.
• Data is a complicated asset, use the tools and education to give
consumers important insight (a hammer is useless until you learn
how and when to use it).
• Define a change control process that makes it easy for AA users to
productionize insight
