IBM has implemented an AI‑ready data lakehouse built on its watsonx platform for Tata Play Fiber, India’s leading fiber broadband provider. The solution merges 25 separate data sources into a unified, scalable environment, enabling real‑time analytics and advanced AI workloads. By consolidating customer, marketing, finance, and operational data, Tata Play Fiber aims to improve retention, forecast demand, and generate new revenue opportunities. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Walmart Data Ventures has introduced the Scintilla Digital Landscapes solution in Canada, expanding its Scintilla platform beyond Channel Performance and Shopper Behaviour modules. Powered by first‑party data from Walmart.ca and its mobile app, the new tool maps shoppers’ online paths...
The article argues that analytics engineering must “move up the stack” again, this time leveraging AI agents to automate routine data work. It highlights dbt’s meteoric growth—over three million daily downloads and a billion total downloads—showing how the tool already reshaped...
Hybrid working has become the default model for UK financial services, but it is fragmenting data governance and exposing firms to hidden compliance risks. The spread of personal devices, unsecured networks, and shadow‑IT tools makes it difficult to maintain audit...
FIATA and the Global Shippers Forum have introduced a signable version of their Data Governance Charter, converting previously voluntary principles into a binding framework for digital supply chains. The charter outlines mandatory standards on data ownership, permission controls, protection duties,...
Immuta unveiled an Agentic Data Access module that lets autonomous AI agents retrieve enterprise data in real time while enforcing governance policies. The new capabilities treat agents as first‑class data users, applying least‑access privileges, zero standing privileges, and audit trails....
The article details how a new JSON query‑and‑transform language built in Go slashes latency and Kubernetes expenses. A modest $400 token purchase unlocked roughly $500,000 in annual cost savings, illustrating a high‑return refactor. The author, once skeptical of vibe‑code, now...
At Databricks AI Days London 2026, executives highlighted how AI is reshaping enterprise data management by moving from slow, analyst‑driven reporting to instant, natural‑language queries. They emphasized the need for deterministic outputs to earn C‑suite trust and the rise of...
DOE’s Genesis Mission has produced SYNAPS‑I, an AI‑driven imaging platform that unifies neutron, X‑ray and microscopy data from more than 100 beamlines across seven national labs. The billion‑parameter foundation model can reconstruct ptychography scans in real time, turning 1.3 TB of...
The team migrated an on‑premises MongoDB golden source of reference data into a governed cloud pipeline using Kafka, Apache Iceberg, and Athena. They implemented a three‑layer architecture—Landing, Bronze, and Silver—to isolate raw ingestion, structural conversion, and consumer‑ready tables, each with...
The DBTA webinar highlighted that AI projects fail more often due to fragile data pipelines than model flaws. Speakers Kevin Hu and Jerod Johnson outlined how data engineering must evolve to support continuous, real‑time data, lineage, and repeatable outputs for...
The focus of AI safety is shifting from model‑centric controls to the data that fuels autonomous systems. Fragmented, outdated, or ungoverned data can cause unpredictable behavior, especially in regulated or customer‑facing contexts. Denodo’s virtual data‑fabric platform unifies disparate sources, enforces...
Data analytics and insight market projected to surpass $1.4 trillion by 2035, driven by a compound annual growth rate of up to 16.4%, far outpacing the advertising sector’s roughly 4% growth. Predictive analytics now represents over 40% of the market and...
Guillaume Delépine founded San Francisco‑based Longeye to use AI for sorting massive digital evidence, aiming to boost police case‑closure rates. The platform, now negotiating 20 contracts, ingests data such as phone records, emails and GPS to deliver searchable case summaries,...
Delta Lake’s Change Data Feed (CDF) lets engineers capture row‑level changes as soon as they occur, turning a Delta table into a built‑in change‑data‑capture engine. By enabling the table property delta.enableChangeDataFeed, only modified rows are read, eliminating costly full‑table scans for...
