Why Automated Data Governance is the only option for AI success - with Aiimi and industry CDO Matt Edwards
28
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Data Governance isn’t just a compliance task anymore – it’s a strategic foundation that touches every part of your business, from mitigating the risk of sensitive information and reducing storage costs, to giving your people and your AI tools the high-quality data they need to succeed.
Work at this scale, with this much riding on it, can’t be manual – it must be automated.
In this webinar, we’ll discuss Automated Data Governance through the lens of four business challenges, highlighting exactly where platform solutions can unlock value, reduce cost and risk, and enable AI innovation.
- Enterprise Chaos – Growing data estates, spiralling costs, and hidden insights
- Unlocking Trapped Knowledge – Corporate intelligence is buried, decisions are slow
- Ungoverned Risk- Personal and sensitive data is exposed and at risk
- AI Trust Gap – AI tools can’t access trusted data and so lose their value.
Join Aiimi’s CEO Steve Salvin, CTO Paul Maker, and special guest Matt Edwards, Chief Data Officer at Anglian Water, as they share real-world insights into data governance challenges and why automation is now essential to overcoming them.
Plus, all registered attendees will receive our exclusive downloadable guide to help pinpoint your most urgent Data Governance challenge and build a compelling business case for strategic investment.
