Breaking Bread: Do You Understand Your Data?Breaking Bread: Do You Understand Your Data?

What makes data actionable and real for an organization?

Many enterprises capture data as part of their operations and activity but taking that information to another usable level can be a challenge. There may be security concerns, privacy regulations to adhere to, conflicting requirements among stakeholders within the organization.

If the world runs on data that fuels the software that gets put into action, how do you separate the wheat from the chaff? And how do you not step on too many toes along the way?

In this Breaking Bread session, Craig Martell, chief AI officer for Cohesity; and Matt McVaney, chief revenue office for BombBomb, discussed finding common ground between operations and tech to make data useful, and better understand the demands on either side of this dilemma.

InformationWeek's podcast is evolving. The "Breaking Bread" format brings together one CIO, CTO, or other C-suite tech leader to discuss a challenge with an executive from the operations side of another organization.

The intent is to allow them the space to exchange ideas and pain points from their respective vantages, and foster discussions that generate new insights for their organizations as well as the audience.
