Data fabric and data mesh are not mutually exclusive. Join this session to learn about how D&A leaders can put an end to a five-year long debate comparing fabric and mesh. You can deploy them independently, or best-case together. You will find out how you can deploy the fabric design to unify data management and mesh operating model to distribute data management in a sensible manner.

D&A leaders must develop DataOps as an essential practice to redefine their data management operations. This involves establishing business value before pursuing significant data engineering initiatives, and preventing duplicated efforts undertaken by different teams in managing the common metadata, security and observability of information assets within the data platforms.

Data and analytics leaders and their data engineering teams are tasked with evaluating and selecting data integration tools. However, there are many options, which can be confusing. This session will explain the various types of data integration tools and technologies available in the market, and help you select the right data integration tool for your needs.
