"Data First" companies will become the world's next trillion dollar enterprises. Although most companies understand the value that data plays in driving their business forward, many organizations are still not putting data-driven practices into production. Despite the value it represents, external data is still one of the biggest blind spots in executive decision making today. 
During this session, participants will learn: - The benefit behind external data and how to effectively connect to external resources - How to match internal and external data  - The techniques used to adopt an API-based vascular system to transport data through the enterprise - Best practices for integrating clean data into AI and ML models About the Speaker: <A HREF="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryan-smith-68282122/?locale=de_DE" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bryan Smith</A> is the Co-Founder and CEO of ThinkData Works Inc., a Toronto-based technology company whose platform is used by some of the worlds’ largest organizations to process and refine data into usable products.
