Moving Data at Enterprise Scale

Modernizing Government Healthcare IT is a journey through decades of system implementation based on the best in class technology available at the time. What’s left behind is business logic buried in the programming language de jour or maybe even a long forgotten low code application environment and data, tons of data stored in the dreaded “silo”. Movement of data within the system was at best backed by a data persistence technology (VSAM, RDBMS, etc.) and at worst flat files or an Office application. Rare is the opportunity to stand up a greenfield project and just forget about the old and focus on building the new because there is more often than not value in the data contained in the silos. Fast forward to the present with an eye on the future and we as an IT industry are in the golden age of technology and software architecture that supports the movement of data. Not just within the scope of a single system but at enterprise scale. This session will focus on the movement of data at enterprise scale by establishing a foundation that normalizes how systems define, discover, manage and exchange information. In scope are Data Mesh, Data Fabric, DataOps, Event Streaming, Data Exchange, etc.
