The Single MCP Approach to Compliant AI
DMRadio Podcast

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...
