– Subramanian Venkataraman, Regional Data Officer, Asia Pacific, Deutsche Bank

“Data is the new oil” has been a popular quote in this digital age. But oil runs out and would give way to other fuels…..so is “Data really the new Oil”? If not, what else is Data like – and how best can it be leveraged? This practitioner’s sharing session will cover different aspects of data management, and address the following questions:

• Data: Is it means to an outcome or an end in itself?
• Should we drive the data or be driven by it?
• What are the transformation opportunities – all around?

01:00PM – 01:30PM KEYNOTE 2 | Data, the Key Value of Digital Transformation Journey

This session will explore how organisations leverage historical and real-time operational data to reveal hidden inefficiencies in existing business processes and guide CIOs in modernising their business workflows. Industry practitioners on the panel will also share how non-IT users can be empowered to drive business value from a data-driven approach.
