In this episode of “Digital Now,” two key architects of Microsoft’s intelligent data platform describe how Microsoft and its customers are undergoing a cultural shift in which data has become a complementary discipline alongside software and code.
“Digital Now” is a video series hosted by Andrew Wilson, chief digital officer at Microsoft, who invites friends and industry leaders inside and outside of Microsoft to share how they are tackling digital and business transformation, and explores themes like the future of work, security, artificial intelligence and the democratization of code and data.
Rohan Kumar, corporate vice president, Azure Data, and Karthik Ravindran, general manager, Enterprise Analytics and Data Governance, explain that data doesn’t belong to one particular team, but is an organizational asset that can be responsibly democratized to provide valuable insights.
“I think having data scientists who can generate real-time insight, having an organization that’s data-led not system-led are really powerful tenets of a modern strategy,” agrees Wilson.
