Join them as they:

• Delve into challenges of data quality, how it degrades over time and the one-sided data quality checks on the “last mile” of the data supply chain.
• Talk about how Gable works through a 3-layer flow of technology which is to identify data production points, trace the data flow and communicate the impact of changes before they reach production.
• Explain why the gap between data producers and consumers need to be bridged and how Gable continues to emphasize the need for effective communication and understanding data change management across teams
• Shine light on how AI can enhance data management by extracting semantics from code and effectively manage the translation output.
