The advent of big data, self-service analytics, and cloud applications has created a need for new ways to manage data access. New data access governance tools promise to simplify and standardize data access and authorization across an enterprise. Data management expert, Sanjeev Mohan, provides an industry perspective on this emerging technology and what it means for data analytics teams.

💡 TLDR: Insurance carriers are spending up to 70% of their IT budgets maintaining legacy systems, starving innovation & compounding opportunity costs. These outdated infrastructures limit product development, slow data velocity, increase compliance burdens, and inflate cybersecurity risk - all while failing to deliver ROI on analytics and digital transformation.
Modernisation isn't just a technical upgrade; it's a strategic necessity. Legacy systems are creating a false economy that drains resources while competitors accelerate ahead with agile, data-driven architectures. To compete in the AI-powered, compliance-driven future, insurers must shift from maintaining the past to building for adaptability, speed, and trust - starting with the intelligent modernisation of their data foundation. At Praxi, we specialise in transitioning insurers to intelligent metadata-driven architectures without the risk and disruption of full-stack re-platforming. Our platform leverages Expert-Trained Contextual Curation (ETCC) to decouple business logic from legacy systems - allowing innovation to happen above the core while maintaining compliance within it.

PopChange is developing a new method to perform small area comparisons on Great British Census data from 1971 to 2011. This gives us unprecedented access to explore changes, divisions and inequalities across the UK with data ranging from ethnicity to tenure to Townsend deprivation score.

In this lunchtime lecture Dr Nick Bearman will explain how his team took the disparate Census geographies of enumeration districts and output areas and transformed them into a 1km grid across Great Britain. Nick discusses how and why they implemented the project with a range of open methodologies, open source languages and resources, and licensing our outputs with open data and source code licenses.

About Dr Nick Bearman
Nick is Senior GIS Analyst and Course Director at Clear Mapping Co, an award winning international cartographic design and GIS training consultancy. We create beautiful maps to improve efficiency in the workplace with an inclusive and sustainable design focus.

Fiona is a bioinformatics scientist turned entrepreneur. Having worked at Illumina developing tools for interpretation of next-generation sequencing data and analyzing cancer genomes, she realized the main bottleneck for genome interpretation and precision medicine is accessing the right data, and so decided to disrupt outdated practices with the aim of accelerating drug discovery.
 
In 2013 Fiona founded DNAdigest as a charity, to promote best practices for efficient and ethical data sharing and, in 2014, she co-founded Repositive to develop an online community platform and global exchange for genomic data.
 
Fiona’s familiarity with the industry ensured that Repositive’s products – two to date, the Discover and Cancer Models platforms – would provide data access solutions while also respecting the industry need for privacy, data governance and IP protection, and this awareness was fundamental in securing £3M+ investment and support from early partners including AstraZeneca, Boehringer Ingelheim, XenTech and Shanghai LIDE Biotech.
