ABN Story: Migrating to Future Proof Data Platformh

ABN AMRO Bank is one of the top leading banks in the Netherlands. It is the third largest bank in the Netherlands by revenue and number of mortgages held within the Netherlands, and has top management support of the objective to become a fully data-driven bank. ABN AMRO started its data journey almost seven years ago and has built a data platform off-premises with Hadoop technologies. This data platform has been used by more than 200 data providers, 150 data consumers, and more than 3000 datasets.

To become a fully digital bank and address the limitation of the on-premises platform requires a future-proof data platform DIAL (digital integration and access layer). ABN AMRO decided to build an Azure cloud-native data platform with the help of Microsoft and Databricks. Last year this cloud-native platform was ready for our data providers and data consumers. Six months ago we started the journey of migrating all the content from the on-premises data platform to the Azure data platform, this was a very large-scale migration and was achieved in six months.

In this session, we will focus on three things: 1. The migration strategy going from on-premises to a cloud-native platform 2. Which Databricks solutions were used in the data platform 3. How the Databricks team assisted in the overall migration

Processing Prescriptions at Scale at Walgreens

We designed a scalable Spark Streaming job to manage 100s of millions of prescription-related operations per day at an end-to-end SLA of a few minutes and a lookup time of one second using CosmosDB.

In this session, we will share not only the architecture, but the challenges and solutions to using the Spark Cosmos connector at scale. We will discuss usages of the Aggregator API, custom implementations of the CosmosDB connector, and the major roadblocks we encountered with the solutions we engineered. In addition, we collaborated closely with Cosmos development team at Microsoft and will share the new features which resulted. If you ever plan to use Spark with Cosmos, you won't want to miss these gotchas!

Moving Beyond Data Integration with Data Collaboration

How can you maximize data collaboration across your organization without having to build integrations between individual applications, systems, and other data sources? Data collaboration architectures that don't depend on integrations aren't a new idea, but they've assumed greater urgency as organizations increasingly struggle to manage the ever-growing numbers of data sources that exist inside their IT estates. In this report, Cinchy cofounders Dan DeMers and Karanjot Jaswal show CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, and other IT leaders how to rethink their organization's approach to data architectures, data management, and data governance. You'll learn about different approaches to creating data platforms that liberate and autonomize data, enable agile data management, apply consistent data access controls, and maximize visibility without requiring application-specific integrations. With this report, you'll discover: Why data integration is often handled piecemeal—combining one app with another rather than integrating all apps together How data collaboration platforms enable data sharing across all apps, systems, and sources without application-specific integrations Four major platforms you can use to make data available to all applications and services: Cinchy, K2View, Microsoft Dataverse, and The Modern Data Company Principles and practices for deploying the data collaboration platform of your choice Dan DeMers is the CEO and cofounder of Cinchy. Karanjot Jaswal is cofounder and CTO of Cinchy.

In your role as the CEO of Snowflake you had a first-row seat for the rise of the "modern data stack". What do you see as the main positive and negative impacts of that paradigm?

What are the key issues that are yet to be solved in that ecosmnjjystem?

For technologists who are thinking about launching new ventures, what are the key pieces of advice that you would like to share? What do you see as the short/medium/long-term impact of AI on the technical, business, and societal arenas? What are the most interesting, innovative, or unexpected ways that you have seen business leaders use data to drive their vision?

Data and AI are advancing at an unprecedented rate—and while the jury is still out on achieving superintelligent AI systems, the idea of artificial intelligence that can understand and learn anything—an “artificial general intelligence”—is becoming more likely. What does the rise of AI mean for the future of software and work as we know it? How will AI help reinvent most of the ways we interact with the digital and physical world? Bob Muglia is a data technology investor and business executive, former CEO of Snowflake, and past president of Microsoft's Server and Tools Division. As a leader in data & AI, Bob focuses on how innovation and ethical values can merge to shape the data economy's future in the era of AI. He serves as a board director for emerging companies that seek to maximize the power of data to help solve some of the world's most challenging problems. In the episode, Richie and Bob explore the current era of AI and what it means for the future of software. Throughout the episode, they discuss how to approach driving value with large language models, the main challenges organizations face when deploying AI systems, the risks, and rewards of fine-tuning LLMs for specific use cases, what the next 12 to 18 months hold for the burgeoning AI ecosystem, the likelihood of superintelligence within our lifetimes, and more.
