Businesses are swimming in data; however, accessing relevant, accurate data where and when needed remains challenging. A recent survey of IT leaders confirmed the importance of data streaming in helping businesses connect, govern and process data, ensuring it can be accessed where and when needed. But what does this mean for the organisation, and how should you prioritise technology investments as you prepare for 2025? 

As Industry Director at Confluent, Peter Pugh-Jones helps businesses achieve maximum value from their data infrastructure. Peter will discuss the Five Things You Need to Know About Data Streaming in 2025 in this webinar. Clear, actionable steps will be outlined, helping you develop your plans for 2025.

Topics that Peter will cover include:

Tapping into the Potential of Data Products: Data drives some of today's most important business use cases. Data products enable instant access to reliable and trustworthy data by eliminating the data mess created by point-to-point connections. 

The Need to Tap into 'Quick Thinking': The C-level has to reorient itself so it doesn't become the bottleneck to adaptability in a data-driven world. Nine in 10 (90%) business leaders say they must now react in real-time. Learn what you can do to provide executive access to real-time data to enable 'Quick Thinking.' 

Rise Above Data Hurdles: Discover how to enforce governance at data production. Reestablishing trustworthiness later is almost always harder, so investing in data tools that solve business problems rather than add to them is essential.

Paradigm to Shift Left: Shift Left is a new paradigm for processing and governing data at any scale, complexity, and latency. Shift Left moves the processing and governance of data closer to the source, enabling organisations to build their data once, build it right and reuse it anywhere within moments of its creation.

The Need for a Strategic View: The positive correlation between data streaming maturity and significant business returns underscores the importance of a long-term, strategic view of data streaming investments. It also highlights the value of advancing beyond initial, siloed use cases to a more integrated approach that leverages data streaming across the enterprise.
