Generative AI and AI tools are democratizing data and blurring lines between business, data, and IT, making traditional operating models obsolete. Zilveren Kruis, the largest health insurer in the Netherlands, is modernizing by enabling self-service, implementing AI productivity suites, fostering collaboration across departments, and redefining data roles to drive rapid, compliant innovation.

Modular working goes beyond technical components;it requires a coherent ecosystem for data and knowledge. UMC Utrecht is actively working on an integrated knowledge and data platform that enhances patient and process data interpretation. This allows applications to present a comprehensive view of the patient and facilitates easy data input back to the platform. The ecosystem prioritizes data for interoperability, rather than focusing on individual applications, ensuring no single application dominates the system.

This session explores the building blocks of next-generation data platforms, with a focus on framing the right questions to unlock innovation. We’ll showcase how AWS Glue, ETL pipelines, crawlers, and data catalogs can transform raw data into analytics-ready insights. Drawing on hands-on experience, we’ll share forward-thinking strategies, lessons learned, and emerging best practices to help you architect a data foundation that is intelligent, adaptable, and future-proof.

In this session Rituals Beaty & Tech will explain how they transformed their organisation from project based to product based tech teams and how they rebuild their enterprise data platform to fit the new product way of working laying the foundation for operational, analytical and AI workloads.
