Data 2020 Summit
Event - Stockholm | September 13, 2018

Semarchy was excited to be co-sponsoring this event with our partner Solita. Together we were presenting at the event, as well as chairing two separate roundtable discussions. During our session, attendees learnt why companies should proceed with a data hub strategy to ensure that Data Governance and Data Quality demands by IT are fulfilled while at the same time business people are satisfied and how their requirements are met within weeks instead of years.
