Overcoming Adoption Hurdles: Zeenea's Paradigm Shift in Data Cataloging

▶️ Watch the Replay

In today's era of handling vast data volumes, the need for an effective data catalog solution has become evident. Yet, the majority of traditional data cataloging solutions grapple with a critical challenge — widespread adoption. The root of this issue lies in their complexity, technical nature, and lack of user-friendliness, which perplexes business users and discourages their engagement.

Understanding this, Zeneea designed a knowledge graph-powered search engine to stand as a paradigm shift, revolutionizing data discovery and cataloging for business users throughout the organization.

In partnership with LBMC, join Ole Olsen-Bagneux, renowned O’Reilly author of "The Enterprise Data Catalog", and Luc Legardeur, co-founder of Zeenea.
