I've joined @MoorInsStrat as VP & Principal Analyst covering data, analytics, governance, and storage — and where AI intersects them all. Grateful to learn the playbook from @PatrickMoorhead and the MI&S team. Sat down with Erin Zehr for my first piece on why I made the move: moorinsightsstrategy.com/the…

Spending some time today with @NetApp at an analyst strategy summit. Love these smaller, intimate events.

Biggest announcement here at #SnowflakeSummit is @Snowflake's Horizon Context. May be a hot take, but I'll defend it.

And it's the interoperability play. Horizon Context spans PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Tableau, Power BI, dbt. Same business definitions across the whole data estate. That adds a whole lot of substance to @Snowflake's openness story.

Most agentic AI failures trace back to ungoverned context. CoCo and CoWork are great agents. Horizon Context is the catalog-level business context that makes them trustworthy. Defensible agents need a defensible foundation.

Been tracking Cortex Code's product evolution for over a year. Today's rebrand to @Snowflake CoCo packs an Agent SDK, Desktop app, and scheduled execution. CoCo is now a platform for building agents on top of governed enterprise data. #SnowflakeSummit

Ready to rock Day 2 at #SnowflakeSummit. Lots of announcements today from @Snowflake. Will do my best to cover the big ones.

I've watched @Snowflake get hammered on 'open' for years. The Iceberg and Polaris work since 2024 is the actual answer to that critique, and most of the market is still grading them on 2023 vibes.

Good news is I think the market is catching up based on what we saw in their last quarter. So much interoperability talk today too. Cool to see.

Great research project working with @HitachiVantara on enterprise #GenAI strategy and adoption. Regardless of an organization's approach...#cloud or #onpremises, commercial or open-source #LLMs, #finetuning or #RAG...one element remains paramount in the #GenAI movement: TRUST.

My favorite announcement from #QlikConnect was the @Qlik Talend Trust Score for AI. They are extending their #data quality, #metadata & #governance capabilities into dashboards with metrics on #diversity, #security, timeliness, discoverability, #accuracy, and #LLM readiness.

Excited to get started with @qlik at #QlikConnect. I’m most excited to see their vision for Kyndi, as well their over arching story of #data, #analytics, #AI, and #GenAi come to life in a cohesive way for so many customers.

A great callout from @MichaelDell during the keynote at #DellTechWorld. @esg_global @TechTarget worked with @Dell to conduct an economic study evaluating the cost of #LLM #inferencing on-prem vs. #publiccloud. Massive opportunity for cost savings of as much as 75%.

It's been great watching BigQuery over the years. It has transitioned from purely a SQL-based cloud #DataWarehouse to a fully-integrated #dataplatform that delivers unified experiences, across unified #data and unified access to data engines. #GoogleCloudNext24

At #GoogleCloudNext, you will here @googlecloud talk a lot about cost savings and #TCO compared to market alternatives. @esg_global has worked tirelessly validating those claims and found Google BigQuery customers have saved up to 54% on #data and #AI platform costs over 3 years.
