Timothy Valihora is an Ottawa IT consultant who coordinates with IBM on developing next generation data solutions. Among the areas in which Timothy Valihora has extensive knowledge is IBM Cloud Pak for Data, an enterprise platform that was expanded in 2020 to include new data cataloging technologies. The synergy provided by this solution is that it combines containerized software metadata repositories with new ways of simplifying and unifying elements that enable seamless collection and organization of data. This is critical in situations where business continuity efforts are at the forefront and massive volumes of data from various sources are challenging to aggregate and analyze, in ways that generate fast, actionable insights.
