ML and AI as to simplify
data management
challenges

ML and AI to simplify data management challenges
▪ Data science practices are already
common in many companies to
produce better insights that enable
business decisions
▪ Data Scientists have been one of the
most popular jobs in recent years
▪ Currently common practice for
resource allocation, supply chain
management, fraud detection,
predictive analytics, etc.
▪ Denodo is already frequently used in this
scenarios as a way to simplify and
accelerate data exploration and analysis

Artificial Intelligence in data management
▪ Software vendors have started to incorporate similar
techniques to analyze their data and automate all kind
of tedious tasks
▪ These techniques can provide actions and expertise that
otherwise required manual intervention of a human
expert
• Scales to process large data volumes
• Reduces the workload of repetitive tasks on skilled
profiles
▪ In the data management space, one of the first
successful applications of these techniques is helping to
identify data quality issues and potentially sensitive data
▪ Many vendors now incorporate some form of AI
tagging, automatic classification, ML security
assessment, etc.

Application in Data Virtualization
▪ Enhance data discovery
▪ Dataset recommendations based on your profile
▪ Simplify data modeling
▪ Relationship discovery based on usage analysis
▪ Suggestions for filters
▪ Improve performance
▪ Tuning recommendations
▪ Self healing bottlenecks

Logical Multi-Cloud Architecture

12
Data Fabrics will be
pervasive

13
Data fabric is a hot, emerging market that delivers a unified, intelligent, and
integrated end-to-end platform to support new and emerging use cases.
The sweet spot is its ability to deliver use cases quickly by leveraging
innovation in dynamic integration, distributed and multicloud architectures,
graph engines, and distributed in-memory and persistent memory platforms.
Data fabric focuses on automating the process integration, transformation,
preparation, curation, security, governance, and orchestration to enable
analytics and insights quickly for business success.

Can we just have a repository for all data?
• Loss of capabilities: data lake capabilities may differ from those of original sources,
e.g. quick access by ID in operational RDBMS
• Huge up-front investment: creating ingestion pipelines for all company datasets into
the lake is costly
• Questionable ROI as a lot of that data may never be used
• Replicate the EDW? Replace it entirely?
• Large recurrent maintenance costs: those pipelines need to be constantly modified
as data structures change in the sources
• Risk of inconsistencies: data needs to be frequently synchronized to avoid stale
datasets
COST
GOVERNANCE
Can’t we put all company data in a single super repository? Would that be possible? Is
that realistic?

Voice control and NLP

19
Voice control and NLP
▪ Voice control has already taken over our homes
▪ Siri, Alexa, Google Home can give you the weather,
read the daily news, control lights and thermostats,
etc.
▪ In BI and Analytics, systems are starting to adopt
natural language as a way to query the system by
non technical users
▪ As this technologies progress, business users and
sales reps in the field will be able to ask for
complex information from their phones and tablets

20
Voice Computing: Humanizing Data Insights
Natural Language Processing enabled business users to post a question to a chatbot and receive an
answer with data insights that are completely humanized
“The total Q3 sales for Product A in
Mexico totaled $200.4 M, a 15%
increase from Q2”
“What are the
Q3 sales
trends for
Product A in
Mexico?”

Data monetization
and the API economy

22
Data monetization and the API economy
▪ The market for data applications is predicted to
have the largest growth by segment in coming
years
▪ Application to application communication is
done via APIs, and therefore APIs have become
the cornerstone of many digital transformation
initiatives
▪ API access (vs direct access through their
website) already accounts for a significant
portion of the revenue of Internet giants
▪ There is also a significant market of companies
that use data as their main asset, and their
business model is to “sell APIs”
▪ In addition, traditional companies have started to
use their data as an additional asset
