Digital transformation is no longer an option, but a strategic necessity. Under this premise, Next Step Consultores are holding the conference on 18 March “Success Strategies in the New Era of Knowledge: Round Table on Fabric, AI and Data Governance”, an event that brought together professionals from the tech and business sectors to examine how organisations can make the most of the value of their data.
A meeting place for data leaders
The event took place in the Official College of Physicians of Madrid, an enclave that brought together executives, technology leaders, data leaders and analytics experts with a common goal: understand how new artificial intelligence platforms and capabilities are redefining data management and decision-making.
During the event, some of the major challenges facing organisations today were addressed: the integration of multiple information sources, the need for robust data governance, and the incorporation of artificial intelligence in a responsible manner aligned with the business.
Microsoft Fabric and the unification of the data ecosystem
One of the backbone themes of the day was Microsoft Fabric, the platform that is transforming the way companies manage, analyse and govern their data.
During the presentations and subsequent panel discussion, it was highlighted how Fabric allows unify data engineering, advanced analytics, business intelligence and data governance capabilities in a single environment, breaking down silos and facilitating a comprehensive and coherent view of the information.
This unification not only simplifies the technological architecture, but also reduces operational complexity, accelerates analysis times and improves insight quality obtained, key aspects for organisations that need to respond with agility to an increasingly changing environment.
Artificial Intelligence: from hype to real-world application
Artificial intelligence was another of the main protagonists of the day. Beyond the media hype, experts agreed on the importance of move from the hype to value, landing concrete use cases that deliver real business value.
During the roundtable, practical examples were shared of how AI, and in particular tools such as Microsoft Copilot, they are making it possible to automate processes, improve productivity and facilitate access to information within organisations.
Nevertheless, the message was clear: artificial intelligence is only effective when it is supported by reliable and well-governed data. Without a solid foundation and good data governance, artificial intelligence loses effectiveness and can produce unreliable results.
Data governance: the foundation of everything
The data governance it established itself as one of the fundamental pillars of digital transformation. Organisations not only need data, but reliable, accessible, secure and compliant data.
In that regard, the importance of defining clear policies, roles and responsibilities was highlighted, as well as relying on platforms that guarantee traceability, quality and information security.
The combination of data governance, platforms such as Microsoft Fabric and artificial intelligence allows evolution towards more mature knowledge management models and lays the foundations for truly data-driven organisations.
In this regard, the importance of defining clear policies, roles and responsibilities was highlighted, as well as tools that guarantee the traceability and security of information.
An open conversation between experts
The final roundtable was one of the most enriching moments of the event. In it, various experts shared their vision on the future of data and answered key questions such as:
- How can businesses begin their journey towards a data-driven culture?
- What mistakes should be avoided when adopting artificial intelligence?
- What role will platforms like Fabric play in the coming years?
The debate allowed different perspectives to be contrasted and highlighted that, although technology is key, real change lies in people and organisational culture.
Networking and event wrap-up
Following the session, attendees enjoyed a networking lunch at the Quintoelemento restaurant, where we were able to exchange experiences, generate new collaboration opportunities and delve deeper into the topics discussed.
