  We empower the largest enterprises to transform any data anywhere into valuable insights they can trust.

Enterprise Strategy Group research shows that 50% of organizations identify faster business decision-making as the core driver of their data strategies, wherein they’re racing to use their proprietary data for generative AI (GenAI), advanced analytics, and machine learning initiatives.   

The downside of GenAI is that it’s resource-intensive. So, how do you cost-effectively pursue AI investments and build out infrastructure in today’s resource-strapped macro-environment?

ESG Senior Analyst Stephen Catanzano joins Cloudera’s David Dichmann, Senior Director of Product Marketing, and AMD’s Shiva Gurumurthy, Senior Product Marketing Manager, in this webinar to provide guidance on enabling better decision-making with GenAI.

Register for the session to discover how to: 
• Enable cost-effective AI investments 
• Address issues with GenAI data accuracy, security, and governance
• Simplify management of analytics & AI workloads across on-premises and cloud 
• Leverage Cloudera and AMD to build scalable business apps with GenAI
