"But today, the clouds are the new silos. They're like the silos in the data centre, only they're public. But AWS is a bit of a data silo, as is Azure. We used to call it Hotel California - you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave. Right? A big part of what Snowflake does is tear down those silos to allow customers to have the data where they want it. Because if it's on Snowflake, it doesn't matter which physical infrastructure is behind it; and to share that data easily around the world, that's a major change in the whole kind of cloud-silo infrastructure problem that we're facing today.” - Jon Robertson  

Fresh out of the studio, Jon Robertson, President of Asia Pacific and Japan for Snowflake discussed the company's global vision &amp; mission and their current expansion into the Asia Pacific and Japan region. Jon discussed the customer stories and how Snowflake's cloud data platform facilitates diverse workloads, from artificial intelligence to cybersecurity. Continuing the conversation, he explored the evolving trends in the data and AI landscape, amplified by notable advances such as ChatGPT and where it is heading. Last but not least, he shared what great would look like for Snowflake in the Asia Pacific region for the next 3-5 years.

Bill Inmon – the “father of data warehouse” – has written 57 books published in nine languages. Bill’s latest adventure is the building of technology known as textual disambiguation – technology that reads raw text in a narrative format and allows the text to be placed in a conventional data base so that it can be analyzed by standard analytical technology, thereby creating unique business value for Big Data/unstructured data. Bill was named by ComputerWorld as one of the ten most influential people in the history of the computer profession. Bill lives in Castle Rock, Colorado.

Agenda:

SB - In the 1970s, you have coined the term, "Datawarehouse". There are countless Data gurus referring to you as the father of "Datawarehousing". We are curious how did your journey start? What did you envision a "Datawarehouse" to be back then, and now?

RB - Who were the earliest adopter? What were some interesting discoveries back then? How has the industry evolved?

SB - In current state of the Data industry, do you think Datawarehousing is relevant in this hyped up age of Big Data and Data Science? Do these technologies simply compliment existing Data practices? What is your thought on it? 

RB- One of your project in the data space is called Textual ETL... What is it about? Is it a theoretical concept? Are there any tool in the industry that meets the standard?

SB - Your recent publications are on Taxonomies, and Textual Analytics... Our knowledge on it is quite limited. Please enlighten us about the use case scenario for which it's relevant. 

RB - How do we connect with you in Social media such as Twitter or Blog?
