Accelerate Decision Making in Commercial Life Sciences

Organizations have a requirement to implement data governance due to the presence of PII, PHI, and PCI elements; the process of sharing and operationalizing data movement becomes an involved task as it must encompass data governance and data security and include audit capabilities.

But changing and building on the existing data movement processes is a manually intensive process and not only increases in time to process, but also loses its agility as the lag between the transactional applications and the analytical downstream warehouse increases. The result is that the business making decisions using the analytical data is not as accurate and well-informed, and adds direct, measurable cost through manual validation and audit.

Explore in this webinar the more modern data transformation solution that LTI has introduced to customers, with checkpoints introduced at various stages — including manual interventions — that operationalize the data movement across different AWS accounts using native AWS services for a well-architected and well-governed process.

Cross-Account Data Sharing Made Simple: AWS Automation for Improved Governance

In the past decade, as cloud solutions have been gaining acceptance into the Healthcare IT environment, imaging systems have been part of the early adopters of public cloud services. The transition from onsite imaging environments to cloud has been challenging to implement and adopt into daily workflow. In turn has created a perceived negative impact on the imaging workflows and ultimately the patient care with lags and delays in accessing the studies. Many hospitals are still hesitant to transition their medical images either partially or entirely into a cloud environment. There are various reasons for this hesitancy but largely the key reason is the need for high availability and the inherited lag-time in retrieval of image files from cloud.

Join our webinar to learn about -

· CitiusTech’s collaboration with AWS to launch Amazon HealthLake Imaging service to address key challenges around latency and data access

· Complexities of networking and integration of medical images with EHR data

Cut through the chaos: How to use untapped data for personalized care management

Join us for part three of this three-part series where we will discuss the challenges keeping companies from being data-driven. We will cover the following:

The biggest call to action here is about the necessity of technological decisions to withstand the pressure of marketing messages, open-source trends, and shiny new tools. This usually leads to inconsistent architecture and a high effort of integration. 

Integration is a challenge on its own, so decisions don’t need to make it worse by balancing the choice between the best tools for the job and an effort to integrate with the current state. 

Lastly, we will address skills and how most things are transferable, but new tools make it harder than it needs to be.

What Does It Mean to Be Data-Driven and Why Should You Care? Series 3:Technology

Join us for part one of this three-part series where we will discuss the challenges keeping companies from being data-driven. We will cover the following:

Series 2: Culture
We will be discussing three topics in creating a company data culture: organisational design, democratisation, and critical thinking. 

Organisational design will be around the topic of centralised vs. de-centralised models. How to de-centralise data by treating it as a product and centralise the ownership of the platform. 

Democratisation of data is about giving people access to more data, but also giving them the chance to act and be empowered to act on that data. 

Critical thinking is about having a culture of diving deep and looking for the story behind the data that is being served by the platform.

What Does It Mean to Be Data-Driven and Why Should You Care? Series 2: Culture

In this shapeshifting and fast-paced environment, generating actionable insights out of data is more critical than ever.

Reinventing Your Businesses with Data

Join us for part two of this three-part series where we will discuss the challenges keeping companies from being data-driven. We will cover the following: 

Series 1: Strategy In this webinar, we will level-set concepts used in the next two sessions. We will address three topics: components, examples, and focus. 

- What are the main components of a solid data strategy? Who defines them and what are the roles of each executive stakeholder? 
- We will bring examples of companies that aligned their goals with this strategy and vice versa to make this chapter more concrete. 
- Companies that go from quick in, to quick win, lack the focus in their strategy that will allow it to be persistent across several leadership changes. These companies will usually define a strategy, stick to it for a year, and then start over again. Culture is how a data strategy becomes pervasive beyond the times and provides a guiding light that aligns with a long-term strategy.

What Does It Mean to Be Data-Driven and Why Should You Care? Series 1: Strategy

The promise of data mesh for Federal government organizations is significant, and most stand to benefit from pivoting from their current approach to a data mesh as soon as possible. Today, most Federal government organizations want to drive innovation and become data-driven, and they are not afraid to make huge investments in technology to try and achieve aspirational data goals.  Many have invested billions of dollars in machine learning/artificial intelligence (ML/AI) capabilities to support the use of data analytics for data-driven decision-making, yet they are still struggling to source, manage, access, and protect trustworthy analytical data at scale.  As a result, most are not realizing maximum value from their significant and increasing investments in data analytics, and their data value to investment ratio is low.  This disappointing Return on Investment is not due to an absence of high-level support within the organization.  In fact, in most federal agencies, it is the Chief Data Officer (CDO) or leaders at the highest levels of the organization pushing for the change needed to accelerate innovation and realize data advantage.  The reasons for failure share common patterns, requiring a nudge to a new approach that is grounded in lessons from distributed architecture, microservices, and product thinking.  In this webinar, you will learn:

1.           What is Data Mesh?

2.           Why Do Federal Organizations Need Data Mesh?
