Building a Modern Data Platform: Unlocking Data’s Strategic Value for the Future Grid

As utilities strive to meet the demands of operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, customer engagement, and grid modernization, the need to harness the power of data has never been greater. However, fragmented data systems, siloed analytics efforts, and governance challenges can impede progress. This interactive session will combine two critical perspectives:

• Building a Modern Data Platform: We’ll explore how Austin Energy is designing and implementing a scalable, centralized, and governed data platform to facilitate advanced analytics and innovation.
• Treating Data as an Asset: Learn from Exelon's enterprise data strategy, focusing on the holistic approach to managing data quality, governance, and assets across the organization to align with business goals and leverage trends like AI.

By using the Cloud and Cluster Conversation format, participants will collaborate to explore these challenges through group discussion and reflection, identifying common themes and uncovering actionable insights that will shape the future of data in utilities.
