consolidated, accessible data it
fosters:
• Creation of innovative
products and services
• Agility to adapt quickly to
emerging trends
When AI uses comprehensive,
integrated data it ensures:
• Reliable decision-making
• Increased value of company data
• More precise forecasting
When AI models are fed with all
enterprise data it can:
• Identify undiscovered
inefficiencies and redundancies
• Streamline workflows, reduced
manual tasks, and minimalize
errors

Editor's Notes

  • #2  map to biz outcomes (read right side), new mechanism for rev (grow rev, manage risk, reduce costs)
  • #3 Clear is why – path has many risks, recognize risks up front, all top of mind, hallucination, bias – garbage in and garbage out – more relevant today than in the pass, autonomous system generating output without a human – damage brand, put stuff out there, misuse of efficiency, Adding a layer to this in countries within GDPR are that minimal data is used to build AI models, anonymization must be used in LLMs, delicate balance of having someone’s permission to build on their data. AI systems must integrate security practices to prevent data infringements and unauthorized access.
  • #4 
  • #5 **Step 1: Define Data Integration Goals and Scope** Start by clarifying your specific AI objectives. Different AI use cases require different integration approaches. Defining goals, expected outcomes, and deliverables ensures clarity with stakeholders. Key questions to ask include: What business problems are we addressing? What are the data sources, challenges, and success criteria? This foundation sets the project’s scope and expectations. **Step 2: Assess Your Current Data Landscape** Next, assess your data environment. Conduct an audit of your data sources to identify gaps and issues related to data quality, accessibility, and compatibility. Prioritize critical data sources based on their value and relevance to the project, ensuring you’re addressing security and governance concerns early on. **Step 3: Choose Your Data Integration Approach and Tools** Select the best integration methods and tools based on your project’s complexity. Consider architecture (centralized or hybrid), techniques (ETL, ELT), and platforms (cloud, on-premise). Ensure the solution meets functionality, scalability, and performance needs while staying within budget and resources. **Step 4: Design and Implement Your Data Integration Architecture** Now, design an architecture that efficiently connects, transforms, and delivers data to your AI applications. Define data flows, transformations, and control standards for quality, governance, and security. Test and validate the architecture to ensure it meets project requirements. **Step 5: Maintain Data Quality and Governance** Data quality and governance are critical throughout the process. Assign clear roles for data management, implement tools for data validation and auditing, and continuously monitor metrics such as accuracy and consistency. This ensures reliable and compliant data for AI use. **Step 6: Monitor and Optimize Performance** Finally, treat data integration as an ongoing process. Monitor for bottlenecks or errors, implement optimizations, and continuously refine goals and deliverables as data needs evolve. Regularly review performance to ensure your integration pipeline is delivering value.
  • #8 Play up the innovation, AWS recognized Precisely as a leader in the space, joint innovation with AWS, integrations with CloudWatch monitoring and observability, moving to container based deployment easier upgrades, uptime
  • #10 Low impact – using logs and journals so no impact to your systems, once it’s delivered open to all AWS flavors (Bedrock, SageMaker) All flavors of Kafka are supported (Apache Kafka, Confluent Kafka, Amazon MSK)
  • #13 Precisely is the trusted partner for data integrity, with decades of deep domain expertise that span software, data and data strategy services that empowers you to solve today's challenges while building tomorrow's vision.
  • #14 Do you have any customer examples of organizations incorporating data integration to fuel AI projects? Are there elements other than data integration that customers can leverage to make data AI ready?
