Building an AI-Ready Knowledge Architecture
DMRadio Podcast
The forcing function of AI continues to reshape how organizations think about data architecture. It’s no longer enough to simply centralize information in warehouses and lakes. AI systems require context, lineage, relationships, governance, and semantic understanding to deliver trustworthy outcomes at scale. The solution? An AI-ready knowledge architecture. On this episode of DM Radio, we’ll examine the nexus of semantic intelligence and metadata management as core components of an enterprise knowledge graph. Eric Kavanagh will host Sebastian Schmidt of Digital Science, who will...

The Single MCP Approach to Compliant AI
DMRadio Podcast
AI agents are now standard in enterprise workflows but most organizations have no idea they've created a governance time bomb. When agents connect to Salesforce, Snowflake, Tableau, and a dozen other systems through separate MCPs, the result is a fragmented audit trail with no single record of who accessed what data, under whose authorization, or how an answer was generated. Under GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, and the EU AI Act, that's big regulatory exposure. Join Shawhin Mosadeghzad and Terrence Sheflin as they examine why multi-MCP architectures create compliance gaps that traditional data governance...

The 'Death' of Analytics Vendors
DMRadio Podcast
A mass extinction event approaches, but not because of a meteor or global warming. The culprit this time is AI, and in particular, Large Language Models like ChatGPT and Claude. In their crosshairs are a slew of vendors selling analytical functionality: dashboards, visualizations, analyses, semantic layers, OLAP cubes and the like. For decades, these vendors have dominated enterprise decision-making, commanding 5, 6, even 7-figure pricetags to provide the scaffolding needed for insights. The LLMs now threaten that entire landscape, disrupting the foundation of data-driven workflows. True, the...

Metadata at the Space Force and Beyond
DMRadio Podcast
Space, the final frontier... for metadata! Space is no longer just a theater of rockets, launches, and satellites. It’s a data domain, where mission success depends on the ability to collect, govern, correlate, protect, and move information faster than adversaries can react. Join this episode of DM Radio to learn from former Space Force CDO Mark Brady, along with Hammerspace CEO David Flynn, and Director Robert Renzoni. They'll explore the criticality of metadata management at scale, from outer space, down to the largest, most complex organizations in the world.
