Will the future of enterprise AI hinge on data streaming engineers and organizations closing the gap between knowing and doing? Richard Timperlake of Confluent looks at where the signs are pointing.
Confluent sells an enterprise version of the open-source Kafka data streaming platform, which it said is used by 80% of the Fortune 100. IBM said the addition of Confluent underlines a broader IBM push to build a unified “smart data platform” for enterprises deploying generative and agentic artificial intelligence.
At NBCUniversal, Yerrasani led a major platform unification effort that extended Peacock’s Streaming Data Platform and Personalization Platform to global NBCU services, including Showmax, SkyShowtime and Now/Wow. The result was a unified engineering foundation that enabled a cutting-edge customer experience for NBCU’s global streaming audience.
