How to Succeed with AI by Building an AI-Ready Data Foundation
Webinar • Thursday 30 April • 14:00-14:40 BST
Overview
AI adoption is accelerating across every industry. Many organisations however quickly discover the same challenge: their data infrastructure isn’t ready to support it.
The problem is rarely the model itself. More often, it’s fragmented data pipelines, inconsistent data quality, missing business context, and governance that struggles to keep up with modern demand.
Many data teams are still stitching together disconnected tools and manually coding pipelines, creating brittle workflows, limited visibility, and slow development cycles that stall AI initiatives.
In this session with Climber and our partner TimeXtender, you’ll explore how a metadata-driven approach can transform how organisations build and manage their data environments to support AI, Automation, and Analytics.
What you’ll learn
- How to automate the data lifecycle – from ingestion and transformation to governance and orchestration.
- How metadata-driven automation creates trusted, AI-ready data across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments.
- How keeping business logic independent of your data platform avoids vendor lock-in.
- How to replace fragmented tools and manual pipelines with a scalable, governed data foundation.
Who should attend?
This webinar is ideal for professionals responsible for building or managing modern data platforms, including:
- Data Engineers and Data Architects
- Chief Data Officers
- IT and Data Platform Leaders
- Data & Analytics Leaders
- AI and Machine Learning Teams
- Business Intelligence and Analytics Professionals
