“The opportunity to realize business value by decentralizing data and analytics innovation is often blocked by the sheer complexity of the modern data stack,” said Zhamak Dehghani, a pioneer in data mesh and the leading evangelist for the methodology. “Business semantics of data is a core challenge to be solved by leading organizations.”

“Cloud data platforms offer varying data architectures, making it challenging to navigate this ever-evolving landscape,” said Bill Inmon, widely recognized as the father of the data warehouse. “However, by implementing a semantic layer, businesses can more easily integrate, manage, and analyze data from disparate sources, regardless of the underlying architecture. The Semantic Layer Summit provides a valuable opportunity for industry experts to share insights and experiences on how to overcome modern-day data challenges and drive business success.”
