Just a quick note to highlight some of the news coming out of Google Cloud Next 2025 this week, which aims to streamline the creation of data-driven agentic workflows for developers and data professionals. For more, check out the link below.

RT @TheFuturumGroup: 🤯 Data stack wars over? 🤯 Futurum Research analyst Brad Shimmin predicts that in 2025, metadata catalogs will emerge a….

Watching @Google Cloud Next keynote just now and enjoying Greg Weiss' AgentSpace demo (pic below). This is the level of abstraction the enterprise needs if it's going to ply agentic AI across the business. We don't build, we assemble, adapt, and expand.

Greetings my fellow Xlings. After a brief diversion, I'm back on X and will be posting some regular pointers and responses to various market happenings, hopefully as they happen. Cheers!

Okay, tea on hand, headphones on, fingers hovering above the keys. I'm ready for @Informatica's (virtual) Data for AI and Analytics Virtual Summit to begin! A great lineup with Ventana Research, Sunrun, Microsoft, Databricks, et al. on hand. #AISummit .

I'm with you @DCorrigan. I'm enjoying the deep/slow pacing with @Informatica's #MDMSummit. Great stuff so far from @Hertz' Strategic technology executive, Richard Leaton, who's detailing the company's data transformation project.

Kudos, (virtual) high-fives, and elbow-bumps to @Domotalk @joshjames, and the whole @domopalooza crew for pulling off today's top-shelf show -- complete with a developer hashtag Q and A. Nicely done folks. #dp20

Hi (v) @domopalooza folks. Q for you re. DOMO Goals. Will DOMO use the underlying framework for this to drive a new wave of updates on the DOMO Appstore (both those from DOMO and partners) for vertical- and use case-specific app needs? If so, how? #askdp20 #dp20.

Okay, terrific move to link @Domotalk with AWS SageMaker in exposing AutoML to business users! I'm seeing pop up more and more, even with ML players themselves. I hope that DOMO takes advantage of the full SageMaker suite as it expands across the ML lifecycle. #dp20.

Hey folks at (v) @domopalooza, I love these dev dives. Can I ask a Q regarding the embedded SQL in Magic: "Can we do the same with R and Python (and the Pandas lib) as well?" #askdp20 #dp20.

RT @rdbhattacharyya: Attending @domopalooza in style (and comfort)! Listening to Josh James ask what is the simplest question you can’t an….

Of course, shining a light on "dark data" simply reveals the chaos. The trick is to impose meaning and agreement on that data without forcing the company to re-architect from the ground up. Let's see what @Domotalk has to say on that front here at (v) @domopalooza. #dp20.

So far, I'm liking @joshjames' viewpoint at (v) @domopalooza. It is vitally important to "shine a light" on dark data, wherever it resides, as fragmentation ("the chaos" as Mr. James stays) leads to inaccuracy, which leads to erroneous assumptions and decisions. #dp20.

Just a few minutes to go, and I believe I'm now fully prepared and properly attired to attend @domopalooza (virtually). Thanks, @Domotalk for the coffee and the comfy slippers. They're just the thing for a cold day, sequestered at home. #dp20

Getting ready for a virtual rendition of @domopalooza .today and noticing that our friends at @Domotalk have had to start their day off with a bit of a kick -- numerous earthquakes. Be safe everyone. These swarms don't have an expiration date and can go on for some time. #dp20

Last month the EU called on resident nations to create a single market for data. Sounds good, but how should companies other than mega-consumer brands approach this from a data privacy perspective? Here are some thoughts. #Omdia #DataMarket #DataPrivacy.

I have to say the demos delivered by @OpenText Stephen Ludlow's group of product owners impressed this jaded analyst, not because they were flashy, but rather because they focused very specific business outcomes such as AI-powered content classification and filing. #otas20

Nice to see a live demo of Magellan running; here pictured with World Health Organization data on COVID-19. This took the team just two hours to pull together (of course last night to maintain timeliness). #OTAS20

Well, here we are at the gorgeous, 100-year-old Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel in Boston, MA for the @OpenText OpenText Analyst Summit! Lots of great knowledge to be had. #OTAS20

I'm happy to join the kind folks at @Oracle and my colleagues for Oracle Next Generation Technology Analyst Summit here in Seattle. #Gen2Cloud.
