Data in Motion - Operationalizing the Modern Data Platform

Analytical data platforms help us understand what happened. Operational systems determine what happens next. As organizations modernize their data ecosystems, this distinction becomes impossible to ignore. Insights delivered hours later may be accurate, but it is often irrelevant to the moment that decisions are made.

Exploring how Data in Motion extends modern data platforms from analytical insight into operational capability; where data is no longer primarily queried, aggregated, or explained, but continuously acted upon as events occur. In this world, data flows through applications, workflows, and automated decisions, not just dashboards and reports. The talk explores what changes when data is treated as live input to the business rather than historical evidence, and why this shift reshapes platform design.
