S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
thank you everyone for joining us this afternoon um we are very excited
0:04
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
to be here and joined with all of you with all of you guys um to
0:08
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
chat about this topic it's something that we've been spending a lot of time thinking
0:12
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
about um working with all with our customers and um
0:16
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
really rethinking um you
0:21
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
know uh
0:23
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Thinking about a lot of how we do work based around this
0:27
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
topic. So anyway,
0:28
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
excited to talk about how to build an AI -ready data foundation.
0:31
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And I'm Amar Doshi.
0:35
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
I'm the chief product officer here at Top Quadrant.
0:37
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
I'm joined here with Steve Hedden,
0:38
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
who is our product manager.
0:40
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And to talk a little bit about,
0:42
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
first, introduce our company a little bit.
0:44
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
For those of you who may not know,
0:45
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
we are at Top Quadrant.
0:49
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
We work with mostly large organizations.
0:51
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
We serve some of the largest organizations in the world and help them solve
0:55
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
pretty complex data problems.
0:57
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
That's kind of been our history.
0:58
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
We've been in this space as thinking about the
1:03
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
evolution of the data stack from various iterations,
1:06
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
from data fabric,
1:07
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
data mesh, data,
1:08
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
all of these things.
1:09
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And really seeing this moment in terms of AI as
1:14
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
one where we're
1:16
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
were not that different from others but also simultaneously like very very different and
1:20
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
um
1:22
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And really thinking about the work that we do is foundational and fundamental to that.
1:26
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And so we'll talk a little bit more about what that actually is,
1:29
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
but wanted to kind of give you a bit of background
1:33
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
about who we are and what we do.
1:35
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Also excited to see some of the recognition of the work that we do with
1:39
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
our customers and how that shows up in the marketplace.
1:41
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And recently we were recognized as in the Gartner
1:46
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Magic Quadrant for metadata solutions.
1:49
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
a little bit about our background we come from a rich history and kind of the semantic web
1:53
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
and um in semantics as as a
1:56
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
as a practice.
1:57
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Some of our foundational engineers were some of the earliest kind of engineers
2:01
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
that helped build Protege,
2:03
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
as well as some of the other kind of core semantic tooling in this space.
2:07
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
We've been part of the W3C since 2001,
2:10
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
and we've had multiple different kind of iterations of our product.
2:13
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
TopRate Composer was kind of an individual ontology modeling tool,
2:17
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
which I still think is one of the best ontology modeling tools in
2:21
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
the market.
2:24
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
that still gets used.
2:26
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And then we've shifted over time to more of an enterprise product called Operate
2:30
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Edge.
2:30
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
That was a core flagship product for a number of years that really
2:35
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
was focused on our enterprise customers that were trying to leverage semantics in their
2:39
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
broader data stack.
2:41
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
over the last kind of six months to a year we've been working on that next iteration of that
2:46
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
product which is called the tq data foundation and it really brings all of the knowledge
2:50
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
that we've accumulated through kind of the last um you know 25 years or
2:54
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
so um and brings it and and and brings
2:58
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
it and builds a product that meets this moment today with the backdrop of ai and
3:03
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
um what the the kind of the core problem that we
3:07
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
are all are solving with the tq data foundation is
3:11
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
How do we help enterprises make the most out of the data that they have?
3:15
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And why we're here talking about it today is that
3:18
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
You know, we are seeing that AI is,
3:21
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you know, across our customer base.
3:23
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And as everyone knows,
3:25
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
everyone's investing heavily in AI and the importance of getting,
3:28
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you know, getting AI into production can't be understated,
3:31
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
right? There's a lot of pressure across all organizations to be able to start
3:35
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
thinking about this and doing this well.
3:37
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And we're seeing the tremendous investment that's happening in it.
3:40
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
But what the thing that we're also seeing is that customers are struggling to
3:44
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
get.
3:45
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
value out of these investments that they're making.
3:48
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
If you look at kind of the chart on the right here,
3:50
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
we're seeing customers,
3:51
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
and this is not just our customer base,
3:53
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
but broader market,
3:54
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
that really only about 10 % of customers are getting the,
3:57
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
are seeing kind of the cost or revenue benefits that they were hoping to
4:01
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
get when they were building,
4:02
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
when they started investing in AI.
4:07
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And one of the core reasons that we see this being
4:12
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
the case is we drill into some of the...
4:17
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
kind of the root causes is around inaccuracy,
4:20
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
right?
4:21
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And we see that inaccuracy being a great kind of something that's holding customers
4:25
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
back from putting things into production.
4:27
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And the reason that they're doing that is because they're seeing as AI solutions
4:31
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
are inaccurate,
4:31
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
they're not getting the adoption that they would want.
4:34
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And they realize that if they lose kind of trusted stakeholders in the process,
4:37
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
it's going to be kind of harder and harder to put AI into production.
4:40
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And on the flip side,
4:41
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
we work with a lot of
4:43
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
highly regulated industries where just putting something that's inaccurate into production is
4:48
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
just not um you know is not necessarily um you
4:52
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
know it's just not really an option and we spent a lot of time thinking about
4:56
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
kind of what are some of the root causes of this inaccurate
5:00
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And one of the core ones
5:04
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
that we focus on is the fact that the historical data stack was not necessarily focused
5:08
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
on, you know,
5:09
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
it was not built for this moment,
5:11
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
right?
5:12
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
We had a storage layer and there were a lot of ETL tools that helped
5:16
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
kind of build,
5:17
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
that helped kind of power the application layer.
5:19
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And those ETL tools required a lot of manual manipulation,
5:22
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
manual intervention,
5:24
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
required,
5:25
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you know, a lot of humans.
5:27
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
kind of scripting and doing wrangling in between to make these
5:31
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
applications work.
5:33
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Over time,
5:34
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
we saw, you know,
5:34
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
there's a whole other category of data solutions that came into place.
5:38
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Things that help,
5:39
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you know, help you help data discovery,
5:41
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
mastering your data,
5:42
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
governing your data,
5:43
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
making sure that you're using it compliantly.
5:45
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
But all of these things still kind of were point solutions in this
5:49
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
stack. And if you think about,
5:51
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you know, kind of some of the challenges that still exist with this stack,
5:55
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
where that, you know,
5:56
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
we had customers that have spent a lot of...
5:58
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
time and effort and and dollars building kind of you know their data warehouses and
6:03
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
the data data lakes but you still end up with
6:07
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you know you it stores your data but it doesn't
6:12
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
necessarily explain
6:15
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
what that data means or how it should be used,
6:18
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
right? So it's still missing a lot of that metadata in that context.
6:21
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Customers invested heavily in data catalogs and the data catalogs were great
6:25
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
in terms of discovery and to a limited extent,
6:29
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
helping identify what resources
6:33
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
um you know what resources you might want to be using things like that but
6:37
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
it didn't do it doesn't fully solve the problem how does some how does all the
6:41
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
data i have in the enterprise relate to each other or how should i be using it how does it relate
6:45
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
to my policy um and what we still see in you know in
6:50
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
in a lot of organizations is that humans are still the super glue right they're still
6:54
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
the folks that we still need a lot of human intervention to be able to to
6:58
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
to to
6:59
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
reconcile things on the fly,
7:01
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
reconcile definitions on the fly,
7:03
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
or kind of be able to bring in some knowledge that's going to ultimately make these applications
7:07
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
sing.
7:08
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And the challenge is that with AI,
7:10
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
it's just put a huge magnifying glass on all of these cracks.
7:13
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And AI essentially has a whole new set of requirements that
7:18
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
don't necessarily fit into the modern
7:22
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
stack.
7:22
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
First,
7:23
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
it needs kind of explicit machine -readable context,
7:26
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
right?
7:26
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
It needs to be able to understand things that potentially are all
7:31
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
over your enterprise.
7:32
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
It needs that context in association with...
7:35
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
with understanding all of the structured and unstructured data your organization has
7:39
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
um it needs to understand how your organization operates how do the different departments
7:43
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
or domains interact with each other um and and lastly
7:48
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
it needs that context to stay accurate for it to be for for a current
7:52
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
for it to stay accurate right you're
7:56
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
organization is constantly evolving and um while a lot of the solutions
8:00
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
that you know um you know a lot of ai can can
8:04
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
can bridge some of those gaps how do you make sure that as the organization is evolving it is aware
8:08
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
of those things as well um and these
8:12
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
gaps in kind of in the in you know when that context does when ai doesn't have
8:16
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
that those particular things
8:19
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
One of the things that we're all seeing is that it does guess,
8:21
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
right? It fills in those gaps and more and more,
8:25
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
it's filling in those gaps better,
8:27
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
but it is still gaps that when you're bringing AI
8:32
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
to your organization,
8:32
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
it doesn't know your organization and it does need to kind of build,
8:36
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
it does build some assumptions in there.
8:40
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
When we think about those gaps,
8:42
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
it's like, well, why do those gaps exist?
8:44
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And we see that those gaps in context exist in a
8:48
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
few different places.
8:48
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
One, a lot of that knowledge is tribal knowledge.
8:51
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
It's in people's heads in your organizations.
8:52
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
It's things that are not necessarily formally documented anywhere.
8:56
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
They're not written down.
8:57
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And they're subject matter experts that really own that.
9:02
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Another area that we see it is it's in hard -coded logic,
9:04
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
in workflows,
9:05
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
in scripts,
9:06
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
in...
9:07
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
a number of different areas around,
9:09
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you know,
9:11
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
in your organization where you
9:15
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
build point solutions or point applications where it's kind of embedded.
9:19
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And the last place is it's in unstructured formats,
9:22
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
right?
9:22
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Decision traces that are in documents and PDFs and emails and other
9:26
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
places where you don't actually have it connected to maybe where the source system that
9:31
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
has recorded that decision.
9:33
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And all of that together is the missing context that AI needs to understand your
9:37
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
organization to be able to fully reason over all of the data
9:41
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
that you have.
9:42
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And that's kind of what we see the next evolution of that
9:46
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
data stack being,
9:47
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
where there is a layer in between that is really powering that context.
9:51
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
It's abstracting a level above your storage
9:55
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
and your applications to think about what are the core concepts of your organization and
9:59
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
building.
10:00
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
a model around them.
10:01
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
It's thinking about kind of core entities and components
10:06
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
of your organization and making sure that they're in a single source,
10:08
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
then they're referenceable.
10:10
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Taking the metadata around all of your structured and unstructured
10:14
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
data and making it and connecting it to those two previous pillars.
10:19
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And then layering on top of it all of the different types
10:23
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
of things, all of the different implicit and explicit policies.
10:27
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
rules, strategies,
10:28
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
guardrails that you want so that it makes decisions according
10:33
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
to a certain set of parameters.
10:36
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And this layer is something that we think is fundamentally missing
10:40
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
in the data stack right now.
10:46
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
To drill a little bit deeper about when we're talking about that context layer
10:50
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
and that AI Ready Data Foundation,
10:52
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
we see it as four pillars.
10:54
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
It's models,
10:55
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
and this is something that we think is conceptual models,
10:58
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
domain models,
10:59
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
ontologies.
11:00
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Really,
11:01
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
what are the core concepts in your business and how do they relate to each other?
11:05
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
references.
11:06
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
So what are kind of core referential data for
11:10
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
your organization,
11:11
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
taxonomies,
11:12
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
glossaries,
11:12
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
reference data,
11:13
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
governed data products that can be served up to
11:21
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
that can be aligned so that there is a consistent set of references for
11:25
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
teams and AI.
11:27
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
The third pillar here is metadata.
11:29
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And one of the things that we think about when we think about metadata is actually
11:34
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
not just connecting structured data in and of itself,
11:37
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
unstructured data in and of itself,
11:38
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
but also connecting those together and as it relates to the models and
11:42
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
the references that you have.
11:44
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
bridging not just kind of the semantic layer of bi or kind of thinking about
11:49
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
um you know retrieval for for unstructured content but what
11:53
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
about scenarios where you need both unstructured content contracts um you
11:58
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
know glossaries things like that but also need that in the context of your structured data to
12:02
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
be able to really make an actionable decision and the last is
12:06
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
kind of business logic and being able to machine being able to
12:10
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
uh create a machine readable version of your rules policies and card rails
12:14
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
um that's kind of the the core
12:18
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
um the you know the core four pillars that we that that
12:22
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
we see as you know are helping customers you know build it
12:26
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
build this air ready data foundation um how that
12:31
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
shows up for our customers and where we where we see that and here's four examples that we're currently
12:35
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
um working with customers on and
12:38
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
The first,
12:39
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you know,
12:40
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
the first is around coding.
12:41
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
We've all seen kind of the possibility of what happens when,
12:44
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you know,
12:46
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
what coding agents like Cloud or Cursor can do,
12:50
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
and they're really able to build fantastic tooling,
12:54
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
fantastic applications pretty quickly.
12:59
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And one of the things that we've seen with some of the customers that we've been working
13:03
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
on is, while that is the case,
13:05
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
a lot of what they are,
13:07
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
when they're using these,
13:09
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
when they're building agents or using agents to build applications that
13:14
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
are related to their broader suite of tools,
13:16
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
they're embedding a lot of context into the prompts themselves.
13:20
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
They're,
13:21
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you know, information about how a,
13:23
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you know,
13:23
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
for this particular customer,
13:25
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
if they...
13:26
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
um it's a software customer they have a suite of products and they're trying to understand
13:30
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
an internal use case of how they can um stave off churn or think
13:35
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
about upsells things like that they are still embedding a
13:39
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
lot of context into those problems about where does customer information live does it live in these six
13:43
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
systems and so every time they're building one of these things and it's been it's really effective they're
13:47
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
actually they're hard coding this information in and that is a problem it's
13:51
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
problematic in two ways one is that you know
13:54
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
You're doing it again and again and again.
13:56
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
After you built the churn app,
13:58
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you might build an upsell app or you might build a renegotiation app.
14:01
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And these are things that you're going to duplicate that.
14:05
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
The second is that it's hard -coded.
14:07
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And you have to think of a way of actually managing that context over time.
14:11
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
So as things change,
14:12
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
how do you make sure that you're able to kind of reuse those components?
14:19
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
The context layer that this offers them is a quick,
14:22
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
referenceable layer that helps them build,
14:25
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
not only power a whole set of agents,
14:27
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
but also continue to build things quicker that doesn't require
14:31
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
all of the work of getting every detail right.
14:35
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
The second is,
14:36
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you know, an R &D use case that I'll chat through,
14:40
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
which is,
14:40
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you know, organizations,
14:41
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
large pharma companies that want to,
14:43
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
that are, that are,
14:44
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
that were helping think about regulatory submission and report authoring.
14:48
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And the problem has been,
14:51
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you know, a problem that we're helping,
14:53
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
I mean, we've been working with pharmaceutical companies for year solving is you have multiple products.
14:57
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
They might have multiple different product names.
15:00
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
different chemical names over time um compound names they they're they have different
15:04
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
active ingredients themes and different you know um
15:08
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
in different geographies.
15:10
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
All of this information is sitting often in unstructured formats
15:14
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
in different places,
15:14
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
and there's no single source of truth to say this is all the same.
15:17
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And when you're thinking about some of the challenges
15:21
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
in terms of regulatory reporting,
15:23
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
being able to have that single source of truth or being able to have the
15:27
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
preferred way an organization wants to talk about a particular set
15:33
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
of products is really important to make sure that
15:35
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
the reporting that's generated then is comprehensive.
15:38
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Additionally,
15:39
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you might have internal standards compared to the regulatory external
15:43
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
standards that are being used.
15:45
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
There needs to be a mapping between those,
15:46
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
and that needs to be managed in a way that allows interoperability between kind
15:51
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
of the reporting that goes out as well as your internal systems.
15:53
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And that's something that requires a lot of subject matter expertise,
15:57
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
and it's not something that is going to easily be given away to.
16:02
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
to ai to do and so building those artifacts and managing them in
16:06
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
kind of a context layer allows a human in the loop to be able to kind
16:10
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
of give this really important context to ai to then be able to unlock
16:14
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
use cases that previously were not um achievable um
16:19
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
A third scenario here that we're working with customers on,
16:22
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
I want a customer on is an optimization kind
16:26
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
of challenge, which is if you want,
16:30
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
the organization wants to be able to deploy agents to be able to start making decisions
16:34
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
around how you might change a project plan,
16:38
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
for example, depending on various different outcomes or changes
16:42
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
in
16:46
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
and how you might change a project plan depending on variables
16:52
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
that might impact it.
16:53
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
You know, a shortage of labor,
16:54
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
a shortage of a particular good,
16:56
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
a weather events,
17:00
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
things like that.
17:00
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And how can you actually change the project plan in a way that you're going to stay
17:04
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
within risk parameters of delivering,
17:07
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you know, on time and at budget.
17:12
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
The challenge that you have there is you have multiple different systems that go into this,
17:16
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
right? You have an inventory system that has kind of your trade goods.
17:18
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
You have a planning system,
17:20
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
a designing system,
17:21
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
estimation system.
17:23
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And they all kind of talk
17:27
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
differently.
17:27
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
They might have a different set of parts,
17:28
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
things like that.
17:29
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
When all of that can come together,
17:31
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you're able to...
17:35
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
so we're helping them kind of think of this in two ways one is stitching those systems together and
17:39
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
creating kind of a metadata you know a mapping
17:44
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
across those systems but also a single set of referenceable trade products that can
17:49
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
help
17:51
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
that AI can then say,
17:53
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
hey, in this system,
17:53
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
this product is the same as this system and this product in this system.
17:56
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And therefore,
17:57
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you can start making decisions on how a particular
18:02
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
change might impact a product and the parameters around that.
18:05
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
The last here is just one around
18:09
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
kind of a credit line optimization.
18:12
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Question ends up working with the top 10 bank who's trying to think of how can they expand some
18:18
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
of the offerings that they can give to a customer and kind of a classic example of,
18:22
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you know, they want to be able to run AI over a
18:26
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
more intelligent process over how they extend new
18:31
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
products to existing customers.
18:32
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
How do they make sure that they're doing that in a compliant way?
18:35
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And obviously.
18:36
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
a highly regulated industry such as financial services that could be fraught with challenges
18:41
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
in terms of what you can and cannot do and being able to
18:45
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
make sure that you are doing that in an effective way while abiding
18:49
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
by kind of all of the safety parameters and risk parameters that you want to be and
18:53
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
so these are just kind of three or four examples and they're not exhaustive
18:58
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
but they're just places where we are seeing
19:01
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
the investment in a context layer actually is able to unlock
19:05
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
much higher ROI and much more complicated
19:10
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
use cases.
19:10
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
The last and the additional piece on that is it's
19:15
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
a reusable foundation where you can build new agents faster
19:19
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
on them.
19:20
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And the last is that you can kind of,
19:21
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
as
19:23
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
the context changes and your business strategy changes,
19:25
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you're able to capture it in a single place and deploy it again and again,
19:29
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
deploy that change everywhere so all of your agents are kind of abiding
19:33
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
by that new reality that you're living in.
19:36
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
So with that,
19:37
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you know,
19:38
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
we'll hop into just like a brief demo or pop into
19:44
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
our product and kind of show you how we've actually built this for a particular example.
19:48
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Right before I do that,
19:50
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
just the TQ Data Foundation,
19:51
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
I mentioned it a few times,
19:53
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
but the TQ Data Foundation,
19:54
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
it's a foundational infrastructure.
19:56
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
It's a new product that we've launched.
20:00
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
It is foundational infrastructure that translates enterprise data,
20:03
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
policy,
20:04
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
implicit knowledge into machine -readable context that scales across teams,
20:07
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
applications,
20:08
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
and AI agents.
20:10
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
The way we think about the product is that
20:14
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
it does three things.
20:15
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
It captures your business context.
20:19
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
delivers it to wherever you are building AI,
20:22
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
so activates it,
20:23
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
and then it evolves it and it grows with you and your organization.
20:26
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
So as things change,
20:27
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
it makes sure that it is capturing that information and keeping your context
20:31
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
current and relevant so that your AI applications
20:36
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
don't degrade in performance,
20:38
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
your agents don't degrade in performance.
20:39
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
On each of these pillars,
20:42
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
we're investing in from a product perspective,
20:44
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
a few things that
20:48
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
a few things that actually make it really easy for you to deploy.
20:51
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
First,
20:52
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
on the capture side,
20:52
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
historically,
20:53
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
building with knowledge graphs or building in semantics has been a really hard and tedious
20:58
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
task.
20:58
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
We've invested a lot in our product so that you can use AI to build
21:02
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
this context layer pretty efficiently and quickly.
21:05
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
The idea is that you're able to
21:10
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
leverage kind of
21:12
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
AI to extract entities and build taxonomies,
21:16
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
glossaries,
21:17
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
things like that pretty quickly.
21:18
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
We've also invested in a conceptual diagramming tool that helps bring
21:22
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
in external stakeholders,
21:23
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
not external stakeholders,
21:23
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
but non -technical stakeholders who often have a lot to contribute,
21:28
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
but have often been a difficult stakeholder to kind of get into bringing
21:34
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
and helping build knowledge graphs given some of the technical nature.
21:37
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
We also have...
21:40
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
invested in a product marketplace.
21:41
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
So to bring external standards and ontologies and vocabularies and
21:45
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
models that already exist into the TQ data foundation to help customers
21:50
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
that don't, not have to start from scratch.
21:52
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
The second pillar here is activate.
21:54
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
We're trying to, you know,
21:55
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
we're trying to, once you build the context layer,
21:57
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
we want to make sure that it is everywhere you are trying to build AI.
22:00
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
So that's,
22:01
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
we've invested in an MCP server,
22:03
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
making it enter,
22:07
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
making sure that we can integrate into agent frameworks,
22:10
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
as well as where your data already lives in terms of data warehouses,
22:13
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
data lakes like Snowflake,
22:15
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Databricks,
22:16
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
and various graph databases.
22:18
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And then the last thing is,
22:20
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
how can we make sure that it's easy for you to keep this information
22:24
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
current?
22:26
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And we spend a lot of time thinking about how do we leverage AI there as well,
22:30
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
sense things in your organization to bring that back to your context layer,
22:34
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
to suggest changes,
22:35
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
making sure that humans have a role in that to say,
22:38
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
yep, this is a valid change to the business and to the context
22:42
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
layer, and it'll be accepted and disseminated.
22:46
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And ultimately,
22:47
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
that leads to being able to stand up fast,
22:49
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
deploy it everywhere,
22:50
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
and then kind of update it centrally.
22:53
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
With that,
22:54
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
I'll hand it over to Steve on our product
22:58
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
side to kind of give a quick demo or walkthrough of how you actually would do this.
23:02
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Thank
23:08
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you, Amr.
23:09
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And I've shared my screen.
23:12
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Can everyone hear me and see the screen?
23:15
S… Speaker 1 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Looks good.
23:18
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Yep,
23:21
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
so thanks for that.
23:21
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
I think Amr went through really well,
23:24
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
you know, why AI needs context.
23:27
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
I hope that all...
23:30
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
make sense.
23:30
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
Hopefully I don't have to convince you of that.
23:34
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
It's more now we could show you exactly how to build that
23:38
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
context layer,
23:39
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
that data foundation to ensure your AI has a context it needs
23:43
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
and doesn't create its own context or go off the rails and do its own thing.
23:47
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
So I'm going to start with an example of what it would look like for
23:51
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
AI to have context.
23:53
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And then what it would look like without.
23:55
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
And then we'll go through the steps of how I got there.
23:57
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
So for this example,
23:59
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
this is I'm asking a question,
24:01
S… Speaker 2 (TopQuadrant How to Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation)
which customers can I market a credit card to?
