AGENDA
1. DataOps 'hot topics'
Automated testing:
With high data volumes, data workloads and a huge variety in data types, it's become increasingly difficult to perform data testing. Discover how automated testing can speed up time to delivery with fewer people and better data quality.
Data masking:
Lack of governance, poor security process and human error are major risk factors for data breaches. Learn how data masking keeps your non-production environments safe, whilst not hindering you from developing your applications and systems at speed.
2. Taking back control of your Power BI environment (and how not to lose it in the first place)
Do you know what's really happening 'out there' in your Power BI environment? Here are our practical steps and products to keep your Power BI environment safe from the risky repercussions due to lack of governance. We'll talk about:
- Trusted data flows and data sets
- Authorised dashboards for official decision making
- Exporting to Excel
- Tracking data lineage from source to Power BI
3. Demystifying Modern Data Platforms
Azure, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure DB and Snowflake - what cloud data platform makes sense for your organisation?
We'll compare their pros and cons and tackle your organisational specific questions.
4. Q&A
We kindly request that fellow IT vendors don't register at this time.
