Two of the most talked about topics in data management today are Data Fabric and Data Mesh. However, there is a lot of confusion around them. Are they alternative options, or are they complementary? Many organizations are struggling with these questions when trying to modernize their data architecture. Mike Ferguson, Managing Director of Intelligent Business Strategies, will help clear up the confusion by looking at what Data Fabric and Data Mesh are and how they can best be used to help shorten time to value in companies seeking to become data-driven enterprises.

Mike will help address many of your questions, including:

• What is a Data Fabric and Data Mesh, and the business value of each?
• What are the key concepts and capabilities of each, and what do they make possible?
• The implications of decentralizing data engineering, and how do you co-ordinate data product development?
• How can a Data Fabric help in building a Data Mesh?

Following Mike's presentation, we will be joined by Kevin Bohan of Denodo, who will discuss the foundational capabilities you should be putting in place if you are planning on adopting a Data Mesh strategy.
