  • 00:00:11
    good morning everyone thank you so much
  • 00:00:13
    for coming to this breakout session on
  • 00:00:16
    data governance in the age of
  • 00:00:20
    AI we're very excited to have with us
  • 00:00:23
    two customer speakers today we have
  • 00:00:26
    Cynthia gums who is the manager of
  • 00:00:29
    global data insights and analytics at
  • 00:00:31
    Ford Driving key initiatives around the
  • 00:00:34
    new data Factory at Ford we also have
  • 00:00:37
    Steve Jared who is the chief AI officer
  • 00:00:41
    at Orange leading Ai and data strategy
  • 00:00:45
    for orange across 26 countries and my
  • 00:00:49
    name is louan I'm a product manager for
  • 00:00:51
    data Plex here at Google Cloud so we're
  • 00:00:55
    very excited to be sharing with you how
  • 00:00:58
    we think about data governance in this
  • 00:01:00
    age of AI and what do our Journeys each
  • 00:01:04
    look
  • 00:01:06
    like so here's our agenda for today
  • 00:01:09
    we're going to start with an
  • 00:01:10
    introduction and a product overview
  • 00:01:13
    followed by case studies from Ford and
  • 00:01:16
    orange and then we'll talk about what's
  • 00:01:19
    new what's upcoming in
  • 00:01:24
    datax so as all of us have experienced
  • 00:01:27
    recently generative AI is really this
  • 00:01:30
    paradigm shift that is
  • 00:01:33
    revolutionizing how we operate as
  • 00:01:36
    businesses whether it is generating
  • 00:01:38
    creative content whether it is working
  • 00:01:40
    with complex data whether it's improving
  • 00:01:43
    your customer experiences or even
  • 00:01:46
    training your own large language models
  • 00:01:48
    for Enterprise use cases the impact of
  • 00:01:51
    AI is really profound and all
  • 00:01:57
    encompassing at the same time we know
  • 00:02:00
    that data is the fuel that feeds into
  • 00:02:03
    the engine of AI it is really the
  • 00:02:06
    critical foundation for training and
  • 00:02:09
    grounding your models and in return this
  • 00:02:13
    rapid growth in AI Innovation is really
  • 00:02:17
    creating an accelerating demand for data
  • 00:02:21
    that is well governed high quality and
  • 00:02:24
    easy to
  • 00:02:27
    discover so given the strong need and
  • 00:02:30
    Northstar Vision what are the challenges
  • 00:02:33
    that companies are actually facing in
  • 00:02:37
    reality well first and foremost we have
  • 00:02:40
    the challenge of dark data which I'm
  • 00:02:43
    sure most of you could resonate with in
  • 00:02:46
    fact what we know that
  • 00:02:49
    66% of organizations have reported that
  • 00:02:52
    at least half of their data is dark
  • 00:02:56
    which means that it is data that is not
  • 00:02:58
    even discovered or used in the first
  • 00:03:03
    place and even if you're able to
  • 00:03:05
    discover and use that data there's still
  • 00:03:08
    a lot of questions about data quality
  • 00:03:11
    whether this data is valid whether this
  • 00:03:14
    data is
  • 00:03:16
    trustworthy we learned from our survey
  • 00:03:18
    that only
  • 00:03:20
    44% of data leaders are fully confident
  • 00:03:24
    in the quality of their organization's
  • 00:03:26
    data and as we all know local quality
  • 00:03:30
    data would only result in low quality
  • 00:03:33
    output which you really cannot trust for
  • 00:03:36
    any inside generation or
  • 00:03:41
    decision-making now the reason why
  • 00:03:44
    managing and governing your data it's so
  • 00:03:47
    difficult it's due to the complexity of
  • 00:03:50
    the Enterprise data
  • 00:03:52
    landscape as you can see here on the
  • 00:03:54
    diagram data is really coming in from
  • 00:03:57
    various different sources the are stored
  • 00:04:00
    and processed in different Services
  • 00:04:04
    whether it's data warehouse data lakes
  • 00:04:06
    or
  • 00:04:07
    databases they reside in different
  • 00:04:10
    formats and they're used by different
  • 00:04:13
    personas across different
  • 00:04:16
    workflows now please raise your hand if
  • 00:04:19
    this complex situation ever seemed
  • 00:04:21
    familiar to
  • 00:04:23
    you yes I see a lot of hands
  • 00:04:26
    raised definitely that's what we see all
  • 00:04:29
    the time as well so this challenge is
  • 00:04:33
    exactly what's keeping us busy here at
  • 00:04:35
    Google cloud and as you may have learned
  • 00:04:38
    from this conference so far we're really
  • 00:04:40
    evolving bigquery into a unified data
  • 00:04:44
    and AI governance platform a unified
  • 00:04:47
    data and AI platform and this platform
  • 00:04:49
    is designed with data governance as a
  • 00:04:52
    central builting consideration that is
  • 00:04:55
    contextual and pervasive across the
  • 00:04:58
    different layers of the text
  • 00:05:01
    deck now at the heart of providing this
  • 00:05:05
    unified data and AI governance is datax
  • 00:05:09
    which is our native offering for
  • 00:05:11
    automating data governance and data
  • 00:05:13
    management at
  • 00:05:15
    scale there are several key value
  • 00:05:17
    propositions of datax we have seen truly
  • 00:05:21

    and based on this you're able to perform
  • 00:05:38
    search across different projects across
  • 00:05:42
    different regions and across different
  • 00:05:44
    data
  • 00:05:46
    silos and based on that you're also able
  • 00:05:49
    to further enrich and organize your data
  • 00:05:52

    at Google Cloud are all already using
  • 00:07:00
    data Plex for managing and governing
  • 00:07:02
    their data at
  • 00:07:04
    scale So today we're very excited to be
  • 00:07:07
    hearing from two of them Ford and orange
  • 00:07:11
    so please join me in first welcoming
  • 00:07:14
    Cynthia from Ford to talk about her
  • 00:07:17
    journey with data
  • 00:07:20
    [Applause]
  • 00:07:28
    governance
  • 00:07:33
    all right good day how's everybody doing
  • 00:07:38
    today so my name is Cynthia gums and I'm
  • 00:07:40
    responsible for data Discovery and
  • 00:07:42
    classification at Ford Motor Company
  • 00:07:45
    welcome to my TED
  • 00:07:48
    talk now I'm just
  • 00:07:53
    kidding and
  • 00:07:57
    so while this may not be a t talk I
  • 00:08:01
    promise you that this is an important
  • 00:08:02
    topic and I'm really honored to have the
  • 00:08:05
    opportunity to speak with you today
  • 00:08:07
    about it
  • 00:08:09
    okay so before we start o that's loud
  • 00:08:14
    before we start I'm curious about who's
  • 00:08:16
    in the crowd today so how many of you
  • 00:08:20
    consider yourselves a data governance
  • 00:08:22
    professional you can just wave your hand
  • 00:08:25
    all right there's a lot of you out there
  • 00:08:27
    and if you didn't raise your hand how
  • 00:08:29
    many of you have an appreciation for
  • 00:08:30
    what data governance
  • 00:08:33
    is okay so most of you awesome so I as
  • 00:08:37
    it and data professionals I'm sure
  • 00:08:39
    you've had the
  • 00:08:40
    opportunity to explain to nonata or
  • 00:08:43
    non-te people what you do for a living
  • 00:08:46
    right so when you tell someone I work in
  • 00:08:49
    it Information Technology they look at
  • 00:08:52
    you and they think oh you must be doing
  • 00:08:54
    tech support and then they start calling
  • 00:08:56
    you to help them with their Wi-Fi right
  • 00:08:59
    then you you tell them well I work in
  • 00:09:00
    the data analytics department and then
  • 00:09:03
    they think oh she just creates charts
  • 00:09:05
    and things all day she doesn't really do
  • 00:09:08
    a whole lot of anything because that's
  • 00:09:09
    what data analytics is right then you
  • 00:09:12
    tell them well I'm in data
  • 00:09:14
    governance and now they think you have
  • 00:09:17
    the magic key to give everybody access
  • 00:09:19
    to data data governance is so much more
  • 00:09:21
    than that and then for me when I say I
  • 00:09:23
    work in data Discovery and
  • 00:09:25
    classification they have no clue what
  • 00:09:27
    I'm talking about so then I have to
  • 00:09:29
    explain to them I am responsible for
  • 00:09:33
    making sure people can find the data
  • 00:09:35
    they need to solve business problems and
  • 00:09:39
    then I might give an analogy about a
  • 00:09:41
    shopping experience or being in a
  • 00:09:44
    library and then they get it okay so
  • 00:09:47
    data governance is a broad topic today
  • 00:09:50
    I'm just going to scratch the surface of
  • 00:09:51
    it but I'm really going to dig a little
  • 00:09:53
    bit deeper into Data Discovery so our
  • 00:09:56
    Ford data platform is powered by Google
  • 00:09:59
    cloud and we believe that data is
  • 00:10:02
    awesome valuable and worthy of respect
  • 00:10:07
    our platform objective is to establish a
  • 00:10:10
    single source of truth of data to enable
  • 00:10:12
    data fusion and
  • 00:10:15
    responsible data
  • 00:10:17
    usage our platform helps data Engineers
  • 00:10:21
    organize many many data sources across
  • 00:10:24
    every aspect of our business we have a
  • 00:10:27
    very complex environment
  • 00:10:29
    and we have a number of key capabilities
  • 00:10:32
    that allow us to meet our objective data
  • 00:10:35
    governance is a foundational capability
  • 00:10:37
    for our
  • 00:10:40
    platform as a part of our migration to
  • 00:10:43
    Google Cloud we have enabled datax data
  • 00:10:46
    catalog to capture Technical and
  • 00:10:48
    business metadata about our projects and
  • 00:10:51
    data sets each of our governance teams
  • 00:10:55
    benefits from data capabilities but the
  • 00:10:58
    main one is tag templates for the
  • 00:11:00
    collection of business metadata we also
  • 00:11:03
    benefit from dataplex apis to help
  • 00:11:07
    expose that metadata in our custom user
  • 00:11:09
    interfaces as well as our backend
  • 00:11:13
    processes additionally our data quality
  • 00:11:15
    team recently launched data lineage and
  • 00:11:18
    data lineage allows us to understand
  • 00:11:20
    where the data came from and its life
  • 00:11:22
    cycle we also use lineage to understand
  • 00:11:26
    how to troubleshoot the data how to
  • 00:11:28
    identify dependencies and also for data
  • 00:11:33
    Discovery so as I previously previously
  • 00:11:36
    mentioned we use Tag templates as the
  • 00:11:38
    foundation for our data catalog
  • 00:11:41
    experience and this metadata is
  • 00:11:43
    collected as a part of our endtoend data
  • 00:11:47
    process so when you onboard the data
  • 00:11:50
    when you create your project all the way
  • 00:11:52
    through access enablement we're
  • 00:11:54
    collecting the data along the way we
  • 00:11:56
    collect the metadata at every level of
  • 00:11:59
    our project hierarchy starting with
  • 00:12:01
    projects then data sets tables views and
  • 00:12:04
    columns we have tag templates for each
  • 00:12:06
    of those levels today we're collecting
  • 00:12:08
    roughly 70 Business metadata tags that
  • 00:12:12
    might not sound like a lot but it's it's
  • 00:12:15
    important data that we need to help
  • 00:12:16
    people discover the data and actually
  • 00:12:18
    dataplex lets you capture thousands of
  • 00:12:22
    tags most of this metadata is captured
  • 00:12:25
    manually so you can imagine that it's
  • 00:12:27
    kind of tedious time consuming and
  • 00:12:29
    resource
  • 00:12:31
    intensive but we're working with um
  • 00:12:35
    we're experimenting with Gen to see if
  • 00:12:37
    we can do some Automation in the
  • 00:12:39
    metadata enrichment space we have custom
  • 00:12:42
    user interfaces to allow our users to
  • 00:12:45
    input and extract the metadata from the
  • 00:12:48
    data
  • 00:12:49
    catalog now you might be wondering well
  • 00:12:51
    why do you need a custom user interface
  • 00:12:54
    dataplex has an interface via the
  • 00:12:56
    console however there's many reasons
  • 00:13:00
    why we decided to go this route but the
  • 00:13:01
    main one is we need to control the way
  • 00:13:05
    that metadata is input and the way it is
  • 00:13:08
    exposed to our users right now today in
  • 00:13:11
    dataplex which is perfect for a platform
  • 00:13:13
    team it shows you everything staging
  • 00:13:17
    tables temp tables that's great for the
  • 00:13:19
    platform team but your end users don't
  • 00:13:21
    want to see that and so we try to modify
  • 00:13:23
    the experience so that we can curate it
  • 00:13:25
    for
  • 00:13:27
    excellence okay
  • 00:13:30
    another reason why we created a custom
  • 00:13:33
    user experience is because we have so
  • 00:13:35
    many different personas that we're
  • 00:13:38
    trying to satisfy so last year we
  • 00:13:41
    launched our custom data Discovery
  • 00:13:43
    experience this was an exciting time for
  • 00:13:46
    us because we've been on quite a journey
  • 00:13:47
    trying to solve the data Discovery
  • 00:13:51
    challenge this experience makes use of
  • 00:13:54
    the data Plex
  • 00:13:55
    apis and we call it our data Discovery
  • 00:13:58
    hub
  • 00:14:00
    this interface currently has over 9,000
  • 00:14:03
    users in
  • 00:14:04
    growing our users are able to search the
  • 00:14:08
    data catalog and when the results come
  • 00:14:11
    back they're also able to see all the
  • 00:14:13
    metadata related to that data asset they
  • 00:14:16
    can also see the table and view schemas
  • 00:14:19
    as well we've enabled an export
  • 00:14:22
    capability that allows users to export
  • 00:14:25
    their search results the table schemas
  • 00:14:28
    and the metadata if they need to do any
  • 00:14:30
    offline analysis now I need to be clear
  • 00:14:33
    this is not an export of the data this
  • 00:14:36
    is export of the metadata right the
  • 00:14:38
    security folks are probably looking for
  • 00:14:40
    me
  • 00:14:41
    now and so our user interface also
  • 00:14:45
    creates or provides linkages to other
  • 00:14:48
    tools that we have we have our data
  • 00:14:51
    Activation Portal which allows users to
  • 00:14:54
    request access to the data that they've
  • 00:14:56
    discovered then we also have our data
  • 00:14:59
    quality dashboards so they can see the
  • 00:15:01
    completeness the timeliness and the
  • 00:15:03
    other measures for data
  • 00:15:09
    quality all
  • 00:15:13
    right all right so we are
  • 00:15:16
    currently uh oh sorry guys all right so
  • 00:15:20
    one of the key challenges for our data
  • 00:15:24
    Discovery activity is that um the user
  • 00:15:28
    experience is really important and our
  • 00:15:30
    challenge was that we have all these
  • 00:15:32
    different user personas we have data
  • 00:15:35
    analysts data stewards data scientists
  • 00:15:38
    software analysts data engineers and
  • 00:15:42
    then you have your business users all
  • 00:15:43
    these people have a need to discover
  • 00:15:45
    data but their needs are a little bit
  • 00:15:47
    different and so if I return to a
  • 00:15:49
    business user this big long list of
  • 00:15:53
    tables and columns they're not going to
  • 00:15:54
    know what to do with that right and so
  • 00:15:57
    to solve this problem we've engaged
  • 00:15:59
    project product designers to help us go
  • 00:16:02
    through this full effort of
  • 00:16:05
    understanding our personas what do they
  • 00:16:07
    want what are they thinking about when
  • 00:16:09
    they search for data how could we return
  • 00:16:11
    the results such that they have an
  • 00:16:13
    appreciation for what those um what the
  • 00:16:16
    data is and what it can do for them
  • 00:16:19
    we've done user interviews sessions
  • 00:16:21
    where we sit down with them and watch
  • 00:16:23
    them use the tool we've done surveys and
  • 00:16:25
    all of that has resulted in excellent
  • 00:16:27
    feedback that we're using to inform how
  • 00:16:30
    we modify our product another challenge
  • 00:16:33
    is ensuring that we have high quality
  • 00:16:35
    relevant
  • 00:16:37
    metadata if your columns don't have
  • 00:16:39
    descriptions how can someone search and
  • 00:16:42
    find that your column has the data that
  • 00:16:43
    they need to solve their business
  • 00:16:46
    problem however I already mentioned that
  • 00:16:48
    populating metadata is time consuming
  • 00:16:50
    and resource intensive and so how do you
  • 00:16:53
    solve that problem well one thing that
  • 00:16:55
    we've done is we created a tool that
  • 00:16:58
    allows data teams to update their
  • 00:17:02
    descriptions in bulk using their data
  • 00:17:05
    dictionaries as input and so now they
  • 00:17:07
    already have a data dictionary they can
  • 00:17:10
    upload that it goes through terraform
  • 00:17:12
    and it updates their descriptions behind
  • 00:17:13
    the scenes so that was a great
  • 00:17:16
    enhancement that we
  • 00:17:18
    enabled so what's next for data
  • 00:17:21
    Discovery at
  • 00:17:22
    Ford we are currently piloting a data
  • 00:17:25
    Marketplace experience which allows
  • 00:17:28
    users to search find and access data
  • 00:17:32
    well request access to data in the same
  • 00:17:34
    user experience today it's separate
  • 00:17:37
    experiences but we're merging them right
  • 00:17:40
    and so this was a highly requested item
  • 00:17:42
    from our users that we're trying to
  • 00:17:45
    satisfy so far the pilot is going really
  • 00:17:48
    well and we're getting excellent
  • 00:17:49
    feedback that will inform our our
  • 00:17:53
    product and now we're also looking to to
  • 00:17:56
    launch some additional enhancements to
  • 00:17:57
    the experience so pre previously it was
  • 00:17:59
    just a simple search experience but now
  • 00:18:01
    it's search that will have Best Bets
  • 00:18:05
    enabled and that's what we're calling it
  • 00:18:07
    Best Bets Best Bets means um it's a
  • 00:18:11
    keyword focused activity where we have
  • 00:18:14
    popular data sets keywords that describe
  • 00:18:16
    them when users go in to do their search
  • 00:18:18
    if they hit one of those keywords those
  • 00:18:21
    items will bubble to the top of the
  • 00:18:22
    search we're also allowing our users to
  • 00:18:25
    add comments and ratings for the data so
  • 00:18:29
    if you already have access to the data
  • 00:18:30
    you can find it in the catalog and say
  • 00:18:33
    this data set was awesome it helped me
  • 00:18:34
    do X Y or
  • 00:18:36
    Z try it out right and then if they
  • 00:18:38
    thumbs it up that also influences where
  • 00:18:41
    it shows up in the search results the
  • 00:18:44
    next one is around data
  • 00:18:47
    collections so it's kind of like a
  • 00:18:49
    storefront for the data at Ford we have
  • 00:18:51
    a number of different subject areas and
  • 00:18:54
    they want to see their data together
  • 00:18:56
    right they don't want to see it mixed up
  • 00:18:58
    with every every body else's data and so
  • 00:19:00
    we're looking to create these
  • 00:19:02
    collections or storefronts so those
  • 00:19:04
    different subject areas can say you want
  • 00:19:07
    to use my data go to this place in the
  • 00:19:09
    data catalog to find it
  • 00:19:12
    okay so we're also experimenting with
  • 00:19:15
    Gen I'm sure you've been hearing a lot
  • 00:19:17
    about gen during the conference this
  • 00:19:19
    week and so we're looking at using gen
  • 00:19:22
    to assist with metadata enrichment
  • 00:19:25
    automating it as well as helping to
  • 00:19:28
    gener generate business descriptions for
  • 00:19:30
    the data I already mentioned that it's
  • 00:19:32
    time you know time consuming to do so
  • 00:19:34
    manually but how cool would it be if you
  • 00:19:37
    could just throw gen at a table and say
  • 00:19:40
    what's in this table and it figures it
  • 00:19:42
    out because they can tell what's in the
  • 00:19:44
    table from the data and it will describe
  • 00:19:45
    it and you move on now you might have to
  • 00:19:48
    verify that the descriptions are decent
  • 00:19:50
    but once you get that confidence I think
  • 00:19:52
    it'll be a powerful data Discovery
  • 00:19:56
    experience all right and then we're also
  • 00:19:58
    looking at doing an
  • 00:19:59
    llm and we're training it on
  • 00:20:02
    documentation about the data as well as
  • 00:20:05
    the data catalog
  • 00:20:06
    itself now you're taking data Discovery
  • 00:20:09
    to another level right because you can
  • 00:20:11
    do natural language queries ask it
  • 00:20:14
    questions and it's going to combine that
  • 00:20:16
    documentation with that metadata and
  • 00:20:19
    give you a really good answer about what
  • 00:20:20
    data is available to solve your business
  • 00:20:23
    problems lastly we're really looking
  • 00:20:26
    forward to implementing data plexes
  • 00:20:29
    business terms and glossery this will
  • 00:20:32
    allow us to give common understanding to
  • 00:20:35
    those key terms that are the same across
  • 00:20:37
    the company so if you have 50 different
  • 00:20:41
    data sources and they all mention part
  • 00:20:42
    number do we have to Define part number
  • 00:20:45
    50 times in 50 different ways no but the
  • 00:20:48
    B business terms will allow us to have
  • 00:20:50
    that be consistent across all the
  • 00:20:53
    data so we've been on this
  • 00:20:56
    journey for a little over two years
  • 00:20:59
    years and it's been challenging but
  • 00:21:02
    rewarding at the same time especially
  • 00:21:04
    with this data Marketplace launch and so
  • 00:21:07
    I want to show appreciation to Google my
  • 00:21:10
    team and also all the teams involved for
  • 00:21:13
    their engagement and collaboration
  • 00:21:15
    because it's it's been fun I was um in
  • 00:21:18
    another session and the gentleman said
  • 00:21:20
    data governance was
  • 00:21:22
    boring really we're having so much fun
  • 00:21:26
    trying to figure out how to solve this
  • 00:21:28
    data Lex problem or not dataplex problem
  • 00:21:30
    but data data Discovery problem so I'll
  • 00:21:33
    ask you all who here thinks that data
  • 00:21:36
    Discovery is
  • 00:21:39
    easy I don't see a single hand raised
  • 00:21:42
    and thank you for validating us it's not
  • 00:21:46
    easy my manager's in here too it's not
  • 00:21:49
    easy all right so with that I'm going to
  • 00:21:53
    hand it over to Steve from Orange and
  • 00:21:55
    he's going to tell us how they've
  • 00:21:58
    enabled data Discovery with
  • 00:22:09
    gcp thanks Cynthia and we're on a very
  • 00:22:12
    very similar Journey so orange we're one
  • 00:22:16
    of the largest telecoms providers in the
  • 00:22:18
    world we also sell a lot of IT services
  • 00:22:21
    across 26 countries so we were
  • 00:22:23
    originally France Telecom and then we
  • 00:22:26
    acquired operations in many other
  • 00:22:28
    countries ranging from Belgium and Spain
  • 00:22:31
    and Poland as well as uh African
  • 00:22:34
    countries ranging from Sagal and Ivory
  • 00:22:37
    Coast to to the Democratic Republic of
  • 00:22:39
    Congo so we have an enormously diverse
  • 00:22:42
    set of challenges with almost 300
  • 00:22:45
    million customers across those countries
  • 00:22:48
    and the company is really a very proud
  • 00:22:51
    technological company a lot of the
  • 00:22:53
    reasons why you have power saving modes
  • 00:22:56
    in 5G today is because Orange cared
  • 00:22:58
    about the impact uh of these
  • 00:23:01
    Technologies on the environment um for
  • 00:23:03
    for decades and we're also at the
  • 00:23:05
    Forefront of a lot of AI work I'm I'm
  • 00:23:08
    really lucky to have a dedicated AI
  • 00:23:11
    research team that came from France
  • 00:23:14
    Telecom labs and so in my central team
  • 00:23:17
    we have not only all the data
  • 00:23:18
    engineering data science and ml
  • 00:23:20
    engineering but also as I mentioned the
  • 00:23:22
    pure research team and we're really
  • 00:23:24
    focused in three domains uh and we use
  • 00:23:27
    superpower inter changeably with AI so
  • 00:23:30
    we say that we're trying to superpower
  • 00:23:32
    our employees daily lives we're trying
  • 00:23:35
    to superpower all of our networks and
  • 00:23:37
    we're trying to superpower our customer
  • 00:23:39
    experiences and as Cynthia was
  • 00:23:41
    describing there's many challenges in
  • 00:23:44
    providing these kinds of services at
  • 00:23:46
    scale so before we started to use Google
  • 00:23:50
    Cloud we had data in organizational
  • 00:23:55
    silos that were mapped to the physical
  • 00:23:58
    infrastructure Ure so each of these
  • 00:23:59
    teams within the countries like the
  • 00:24:01
    network team the finance team they had
  • 00:24:03
    built and maintained their own data
  • 00:24:05
    infrastructures that led to these silos
  • 00:24:07
    that map to these cult cultural and and
  • 00:24:10
    uh and operational silos that we faced
  • 00:24:13
    and across these 26 countries the the
  • 00:24:17
    data infrastructure that we had was
  • 00:24:18
    incredibly
  • 00:24:19
    heterogeneous and mostly had been um
  • 00:24:22
    self-integrated uh and managed and so
  • 00:24:25
    that the the level of complexity of
  • 00:24:26
    maintaining that infrastructure and the
  • 00:24:29
    skills necessary for the teams to manage
  • 00:24:31
    that infrastructure were extremely
  • 00:24:33
    complex and and that a lot of the time
  • 00:24:35
    that was taken by the data engineering
  • 00:24:37
    teams was just managed keeping the
  • 00:24:39
    lights on on our
  • 00:24:41
    infrastructure and data governance was
  • 00:24:43
    also managed uh very very manually uh
  • 00:24:47
    with these very basic systems and we had
  • 00:24:49
    many different security and Regulatory
  • 00:24:52
    risk that we had to mitigate um through
  • 00:24:54
    these systems and as Cynthia was saying
  • 00:24:57
    a lot of our Executives didn't really
  • 00:25:00
    see data governance as strategic they
  • 00:25:04
    saw it as something that was just like a
  • 00:25:06
    Regulatory Compliance requirement they
  • 00:25:08
    didn't see it as
  • 00:25:10
    enabling uh the our ability to reach AI
  • 00:25:13
    at scale and so that was really
  • 00:25:15
    preventing us from taking advantage of
  • 00:25:17
    these enormous volumes of data that we
  • 00:25:18
    generate across the business to generate
  • 00:25:21
    value from
  • 00:25:22
    that so we established a few years ago
  • 00:25:26
    now this vision of a data democracy
  • 00:25:29
    where we make this data widely available
  • 00:25:32
    within each country by breaking these
  • 00:25:34
    silos that we have between the
  • 00:25:37
    organizations by having very rich data
  • 00:25:40
    Discovery and to do this at scale we use
  • 00:25:43
    policy as code to not only enforce
  • 00:25:45
    access control but also things um like
  • 00:25:48
    all of the data processes that we have
  • 00:25:50
    for maintaining quality through the
  • 00:25:52
    pipeline and that allowed us to really
  • 00:25:55
    use standard cicd techniques and tooling
  • 00:25:58
    to dramatically improve the way that we
  • 00:25:59
    manage our data and also using AI itself
  • 00:26:03
    to identify anomalies in the pipelines
  • 00:26:06
    has been very very useful and so now our
  • 00:26:10
    CEOs also because of the tsunami of AI
  • 00:26:13
    they're really seeing data uh itself as
  • 00:26:15
    being really foundational and crucial to
  • 00:26:17
    the business and the thing that we did
  • 00:26:19
    to encourage that was we set two things
  • 00:26:23
    one was we set a a uniform way to
  • 00:26:25
    measure value on use cases across all 26
  • 00:26:28
    countries and that's widely available on
  • 00:26:31
    a dashboard that every CEO and employee
  • 00:26:35
    can see so they can see which use cases
  • 00:26:37
    are generating a lot of value but also
  • 00:26:40
    we have other operational kpis that
  • 00:26:43
    relate to our data migrations and data
  • 00:26:45
    quality that are also public and so what
  • 00:26:48
    that did did was it created a
  • 00:26:50
    competitive dynamic between our
  • 00:26:54
    CEOs which was really effective and it
  • 00:26:56
    also LED for individual people people in
  • 00:26:58
    the company to see which countries were
  • 00:27:00
    being really successful at different
  • 00:27:02
    parts of their Journey towards AI at
  • 00:27:04
    scale and encourage them to learn from
  • 00:27:06
    one another and so we took inspiration
  • 00:27:09
    from data mesh to then build a set of
  • 00:27:11
    data products but our approach to data
  • 00:27:14
    products is that we have a centralized
  • 00:27:16
    team my team that defines architecture
  • 00:27:20
    with Partners like Google and that
  • 00:27:22
    allows us to have uniform infrastructure
  • 00:27:25
    that's provided to each of these teams
  • 00:27:26
    that's generating data
  • 00:27:28
    and then they're responsible for
  • 00:27:31
    maintaining the freshness and the
  • 00:27:32
    documentation and the quality of that
  • 00:27:34
    data and and and and the level of
  • 00:27:37
    automation that we're providing uh
  • 00:27:38
    enables this really rich um set of
  • 00:27:41
    outputs and value that's getting
  • 00:27:42
    generated by the use cases in these
  • 00:27:44
    countries so this is what it looks like
  • 00:27:47
    there's really three pillars the first
  • 00:27:50
    is the data products that relate to data
  • 00:27:52
    management and data quality and also
  • 00:27:55
    role-based um access with policy code so
  • 00:27:59
    one of the things that's really powerful
  • 00:28:01
    uh with datax and big query in
  • 00:28:03
    Partnership is that you can have very
  • 00:28:06
    clear role-based access to data but also
  • 00:28:08
    on a column level uh which is really
  • 00:28:10
    powerful because there's certain users
  • 00:28:13
    that we have that we don't want them to
  • 00:28:14
    have be able to see the really sensitive
  • 00:28:16
    data but we want to enable them to use
  • 00:28:18
    that data for data
  • 00:28:21
    operations the second part is the
  • 00:28:23
    self-service platform that we built
  • 00:28:25
    based on gitlab and leverages this great
  • 00:28:28
    interaction between big query datax and
  • 00:28:30
    vertex so for me it's this Golden
  • 00:28:34
    Triangle of the ability to use the best
  • 00:28:38
    we think the best data infrastructure in
  • 00:28:39
    the world on bigquery with vertex where
  • 00:28:42
    we get not only the best of the Google
  • 00:28:45
    first-party models and
  • 00:28:46
    tools also through the model Garden we
  • 00:28:49
    get leading State of-the-art openweight
  • 00:28:53
    models as well as state-of-the-art open
  • 00:28:56
    source tooling for manag ing the model
  • 00:28:58
    life cycle and I've never seen a pace of
  • 00:29:03
    innovation in my entire career than what
  • 00:29:05
    we see in open source tooling as well as
  • 00:29:08
    open source and open weight llms so
  • 00:29:11
    being able to manage that as policy is
  • 00:29:15
    code between all of the business
  • 00:29:17
    decision makers whether they be the the
  • 00:29:20
    the the data Governors our engineers and
  • 00:29:23
    the business owners has allowed us to
  • 00:29:24
    really operate this at a much higher
  • 00:29:26
    scale than was possible before
  • 00:29:29
    and then lastly we Federate all of that
  • 00:29:32
    with governance to harmonize not only
  • 00:29:34
    access to the data and the documentation
  • 00:29:36
    but also the cataloges and the forms of
  • 00:29:39
    Discovery so let me talk next about what
  • 00:29:41
    we want to do
  • 00:29:43
    next we've built this early
  • 00:29:46
    implementation of data mesh on top of
  • 00:29:49
    the Google platform and what we've seen
  • 00:29:52
    is that the dataplex tool is incredibly
  • 00:29:54
    useful for us for things like data
  • 00:29:57
    catalog
  • 00:29:58
    autod DQ data loss
  • 00:30:01
    prevention and the other thing that's
  • 00:30:03
    been great about working with the datax
  • 00:30:05
    team in addition to the fact that
  • 00:30:07
    they've been extremely reactive to
  • 00:30:09
    understanding our challenges and
  • 00:30:11
    providing us great interaction with the
  • 00:30:14
    the the roadmap and influencing the
  • 00:30:16
    engineering team but also they've been
  • 00:30:18
    really good about providing open apis to
  • 00:30:21
    our other partners to allow them to have
  • 00:30:23
    Rich synchronization between their
  • 00:30:26
    tooling environment and datax itself s
  • 00:30:28
    so for example uh in the case of cbra we
  • 00:30:31
    use cbra today across the company to
  • 00:30:34
    manage data that's not on gcp that's on
  • 00:30:36
    a lot of existing um
  • 00:30:38
    infrastructure um that hasn't been
  • 00:30:40
    migrated yet so having the ability to
  • 00:30:42
    have really rich interaction between our
  • 00:30:45
    existing data governance infrastructure
  • 00:30:47
    and what we're building datax has been
  • 00:30:49
    extremely
  • 00:30:51
    powerful so where we want to go is we
  • 00:30:54
    have this vision of using AI itself
  • 00:30:58
    um to have a Marketplace for both the
  • 00:31:01
    data that's within bigquery but also
  • 00:31:03
    within vertex and so the idea that we
  • 00:31:05
    can use natural language as a way for
  • 00:31:08
    anyone in the company within this
  • 00:31:10
    Marketplace to query what data is
  • 00:31:12
    available to have very very quick
  • 00:31:15
    business intelligence visualizations of
  • 00:31:17
    that data and be able to answer really
  • 00:31:20
    direct simple questions and have a
  • 00:31:22
    dialogue with the data even before they
  • 00:31:24
    engage a data scientist or a data
  • 00:31:26
    engineer uh really unlocks an enormous
  • 00:31:29
    amount of value in the company and and
  • 00:31:32
    we think that it's a fundamental shift
  • 00:31:34
    in the technological interaction with
  • 00:31:36
    computers where you can use natural
  • 00:31:38
    language as if at at the at the level of
  • 00:31:41
    power that previously you needed to be a
  • 00:31:43
    programmer to achieve and and then
  • 00:31:46
    lastly using AI to detect anomalies in
  • 00:31:49
    our pipelines uh to help us fill uh
  • 00:31:52
    where we have gaps in our data and
  • 00:31:54
    otherwise to make sure that the data
  • 00:31:56
    that we're generating is of high quality
  • 00:31:58
    because it's clear that without
  • 00:32:00
    extremely high quality data we're not
  • 00:32:02
    going to have high quality outputs from
  • 00:32:04
    our AI systems and then that applies not
  • 00:32:07
    only to systems where we're just doing
  • 00:32:09
    inference on existing large language
  • 00:32:11
    models but it's also very true when we
  • 00:32:14
    try to fine-tune models so them for them
  • 00:32:17
    to be much smaller uh and to and operate
  • 00:32:20
    much faster so again having extremely
  • 00:32:23
    high quality data we're we managing the
  • 00:32:25
    lineage of that data and that's really
  • 00:32:28
    easily accessible to the the teams that
  • 00:32:29
    are working on the AI fine-tuning uh has
  • 00:32:32
    been really transformative and so this
  • 00:32:34
    data democracy for us is all about
  • 00:32:37
    having this data easily accessible in
  • 00:32:40
    extremely high quality that's well
  • 00:32:42
    documented including by having
  • 00:32:44
    generative AI generate uh gaps in
  • 00:32:47
    documentation and identify uh uh missing
  • 00:32:50
    elements and having that integrated
  • 00:32:53
    extremely well into the workflow of our
  • 00:32:55
    employees and we think that this data
  • 00:32:58
    democracy will unlock unlock an enormous
  • 00:33:00
    amount of value across the company
  • 00:33:03
    because the amount of data that we're
  • 00:33:04
    generating today that's been very hard
  • 00:33:06
    to manage in the past now with this more
  • 00:33:09
    uniform infrastructure that's not only
  • 00:33:11
    available for us on public Cloud but
  • 00:33:14
    also we've been working very closely
  • 00:33:16
    with Google over the last few years to
  • 00:33:18
    have on premise data infrastructure
  • 00:33:20
    which we announced today so we have a
  • 00:33:22
    GDC Edge uh infrastructure that we can
  • 00:33:25
    deploy in our own data centers in each
  • 00:33:27
    country that also has uh data management
  • 00:33:31
    and AI capability so it gives us this
  • 00:33:33
    really rich environment between hybrid
  • 00:33:36
    between on-prem and public Cloud because
  • 00:33:39
    we have to respond not only to very
  • 00:33:41
    varying regulatory requirements across
  • 00:33:43
    our countries that change often
  • 00:33:46
    unpredictably um but also we have
  • 00:33:48
    commercial constraints because the
  • 00:33:50
    amount of data that's coming off our
  • 00:33:51
    network is enormous so for example just
  • 00:33:55
    the network Telemetry data which which
  • 00:33:57
    is the data we use to operate the
  • 00:33:59
    network it's over a paby a day so having
  • 00:34:02
    something sophisticated on premise to
  • 00:34:04
    allow us to filter that data before we
  • 00:34:07
    send to public cloud and to do that in a
  • 00:34:09
    way that maintains quality and this
  • 00:34:11
    policy of code U mechanism is is
  • 00:34:13
    extremely
  • 00:34:15
    transformative so let me bring Lou back
  • 00:34:17
    up to talk about what's on the road
  • 00:34:23
    map
  • 00:34:26
    thanks all right thank you so much Steve
  • 00:34:29
    and Cynthia for sharing your use cases
  • 00:34:32
    and perspective those are really really
  • 00:34:34
    wonderful insights and I think we can
  • 00:34:37
    all resonate with just how critical it
  • 00:34:40
    is to have this platform with
  • 00:34:42
    self-served Discovery and well-governed
  • 00:34:45
    data it's not easy but that's what we're
  • 00:34:48
    here for so next let's take a look at
  • 00:34:51
    what are the new launches we're very
  • 00:34:53
    excited to announce this
  • 00:34:56
    time first and foremost most everything
  • 00:34:58
    in datax starts from having this unified
  • 00:35:01
    metadata across distributed data and
  • 00:35:05
    that's exactly where automated
  • 00:35:07
    cataloging comes in we have worked very
  • 00:35:10
    closely with various gcp services and
  • 00:35:13
    products in order to ingest that
  • 00:35:16
    metadata to harvest metadata and index
  • 00:35:19
    metadata for search and based on this
  • 00:35:23
    you will be able to discover your assets
  • 00:35:25
    across Analytics data laks databases Ai
  • 00:35:30
    and bi
  • 00:35:32
    Services you're also able to enrich and
  • 00:35:35
    organize this data to track lineage to
  • 00:35:38
    enforce governance policies and really
  • 00:35:41
    having this solid foundation for data to
  • 00:35:44
    AI
  • 00:35:46
    governance already data plaque supports
  • 00:35:49
    a rich set of data sources such as big
  • 00:35:52
    quy and pups sub and today we're super
  • 00:35:55
    excited to announce a host of new new
  • 00:35:57
    Integrations as you can see
  • 00:36:00
    here first are the vertex related
  • 00:36:02
    launches we're very excited to be
  • 00:36:04
    announcing the ga of automated
  • 00:36:07
    cataloging for vertex models and data
  • 00:36:10
    sets and also the preview of automated
  • 00:36:13
    cataloging for vertex AI features with
  • 00:36:16
    those Integrations in place as soon as
  • 00:36:18
    you create a new artifact in vertex AI
  • 00:36:21
    they will be made searchable in datax in
  • 00:36:24
    near real time and this is really
  • 00:36:27
    critical because we truly believe that
  • 00:36:30
    data and AI should be managed and
  • 00:36:33
    governed in a consistent and coherent
  • 00:36:36
    way next are operational databases
  • 00:36:39
    including the ga of big table
  • 00:36:42
    integration spanner integration as well
  • 00:36:45
    as the preview of automated metadata
  • 00:36:48
    cataloging from cloud SQL and it's super
  • 00:36:51
    important to have this coverage for
  • 00:36:53
    operational databases as well to really
  • 00:36:56
    provide and to a
  • 00:36:59
    visibility next we're also actively
  • 00:37:01
    working on looker integration and it's a
  • 00:37:04
    launch that's coming soon so please stay
  • 00:37:06
    tuned and with all of those launches in
  • 00:37:09
    place our goal is to really provide a
  • 00:37:12
    powerful metadata Foundation to you to
  • 00:37:15
    enable automated metadata Discovery
  • 00:37:18
    management and
  • 00:37:21
    governance next is lineage so datax
  • 00:37:25
    already provides the ability for you to
  • 00:37:28
    automatically track and visualize
  • 00:37:30
    lineage as your data artifact flow
  • 00:37:33
    through your distributed data
  • 00:37:35
    landscape now this capability also work
  • 00:37:38
    nicely with other datax features such as
  • 00:37:41
    data quality checks where as soon as a
  • 00:37:44
    data quality issue is discovered you
  • 00:37:47
    will be able to trace upstream and
  • 00:37:49
    downstream in order to understand what
  • 00:37:51
    is the root cause and impact of a
  • 00:37:54
    particular data quality
  • 00:37:56
    breach now with lineage parsing there's
  • 00:37:59
    already native integration with services
  • 00:38:02
    like bigquery data proc and composer and
  • 00:38:06
    we also have datax API and open lineage
  • 00:38:09
    integration to really provide that
  • 00:38:12
    extensibility and today we're really
  • 00:38:14
    excited to announce the lineage support
  • 00:38:17
    for vertex AI pipelines really allowing
  • 00:38:20
    for this end and traceability from data
  • 00:38:23
    processing to data analytics to machine
  • 00:38:26
    learning training and deployment and
  • 00:38:29
    providing you with this endtoend picture
  • 00:38:32
    that is critical for data to AI
  • 00:38:34
    governance and
  • 00:38:37
    compliance now at the same time in
  • 00:38:39
    addition to extending the type of data
  • 00:38:41
    sources being covered we're also
  • 00:38:43
    enhancing the granularity of lineage
  • 00:38:45
    tracking we're very excited to introduce
  • 00:38:48
    the preview for column level lineage in
  • 00:38:53
    Bor oh hey thank
  • 00:38:56
    you
  • 00:38:59
    so ever since introducing table lineage
  • 00:39:01
    in B Cory as well as other services we
  • 00:39:04
    have seen strong customer enthusiasm
  • 00:39:07
    adoption thanks to all of you and we're
  • 00:39:09
    also getting very strong demand for the
  • 00:39:12
    next level granularity which is what
  • 00:39:15
    we're very excited to bring to you today
  • 00:39:17
    so now you're able to perform root cause
  • 00:39:19
    analysis and impact analysis at the
  • 00:39:22
    column level in addition to at the table
  • 00:39:25
    level and imagine when you have a column
  • 00:39:28
    that's identified to contain personal
  • 00:39:30
    identifiable information this is where
  • 00:39:32
    column level lineage really shines right
  • 00:39:35
    where you're able to then control its
  • 00:39:37
    propagation and then be able to comply
  • 00:39:39
    with different
  • 00:39:42
    regulations now there's also more ease
  • 00:39:45
    of use features that we're launching
  • 00:39:48
    together with this so for example
  • 00:39:50
    there's the ability to help you pull up
  • 00:39:52
    all the upstreams and all the
  • 00:39:54
    downstreams of a particular node in the
  • 00:39:56
    lineage graph
  • 00:39:57
    there's also the ability to filter by
  • 00:40:00
    different transformation types to make
  • 00:40:02
    lineage graph more consumable and
  • 00:40:04
    there's also the ability to export
  • 00:40:06
    lineage for offline analysis so all of
  • 00:40:09
    this is to enhance our user experience
  • 00:40:13
    and to make it easier to work with data
  • 00:40:15
    Plex
  • 00:40:17
    lineage next are two gen powered Gemini
  • 00:40:21
    launches from dataplex so first of all
  • 00:40:24
    we know that searching over metadata is
  • 00:40:27
    a really critical experience with datax
  • 00:40:30
    and it's really at the core of what we
  • 00:40:32
    do here at dataplex now in addition to
  • 00:40:35
    doing keyword search with dataplex
  • 00:40:37
    you're able to just ask us a question in
  • 00:40:40
    natural language and datax will be able
  • 00:40:43
    to interpret your intent and be able to
  • 00:40:46
    retrieve the most relevant search
  • 00:40:49
    results this can really go along long
  • 00:40:51
    way to lower this entry barrier as we
  • 00:40:53
    have discussed earlier and to really
  • 00:40:55
    democratize the experience of data
  • 00:40:58
    Discovery to your entire
  • 00:41:01
    organization now once the data is
  • 00:41:03
    discovered there's another really
  • 00:41:05
    exciting gen power features from data
  • 00:41:07
    Plex to help which is Data
  • 00:41:10
    Insights now a lot of us working with
  • 00:41:13
    data must have experienced the cold star
  • 00:41:16
    problem now which is once you find a
  • 00:41:19
    valuable data asset you're sometimes not
  • 00:41:21
    sure what is the best SQL queries to
  • 00:41:24
    write in order to really extract that
  • 00:41:26
    meaning ful Insight from the data so
  • 00:41:29
    that's exactly word data Insight is here
  • 00:41:32
    to help it would automatically generate
  • 00:41:35
    and suggest SQL queries as well as a
  • 00:41:38
    list of questions you can ask of a table
  • 00:41:41
    in natural language and it will provide
  • 00:41:44
    validated SQL cars to you as well that
  • 00:41:47
    is ready to run in big car
  • 00:41:50
    studio so this could really help give
  • 00:41:53
    you a jump start into your analysis
  • 00:41:55
    journey and to really help help
  • 00:41:57
    accelerate time to Insight for all of
  • 00:42:00
    us next is data governance our favorite
  • 00:42:04
    topic so as we know metadata is the core
  • 00:42:07
    of everything we do here at data plx
  • 00:42:10
    right so we're constantly thinking in
  • 00:42:13
    addition to help you better discover and
  • 00:42:15
    better understand this data can we also
  • 00:42:18
    make metadata more actionable to help
  • 00:42:20
    you drive active actions in terms of
  • 00:42:24
    data governance
  • 00:42:25
    operations so this is exactly the
  • 00:42:27
    motivation for governance rules where we
  • 00:42:30
    start from the metadata you already have
  • 00:42:33
    in datax whether it's technical metadata
  • 00:42:35
    or business metadata and then you will
  • 00:42:39
    be able to Define and enforce governance
  • 00:42:42
    policies at scale with the help of
  • 00:42:44
    dataplex
  • 00:42:45
    so here's how it works first of all you
  • 00:42:48
    start by writing a search query in
  • 00:42:50
    dataplex to identify all the entries and
  • 00:42:53
    Fields that are relevant for a
  • 00:42:56
    particular governance policy to be
  • 00:42:58
    applied and then you can Define your
  • 00:43:00
    policy in the form of governance rules
  • 00:43:03
    with the help of data Plex and then data
  • 00:43:05
    Flex will help you apply and enforce
  • 00:43:08
    this policy across your distributed data
  • 00:43:11
    landscape with proper monitoring
  • 00:43:13
    included so in summary what we're
  • 00:43:16
    providing here is a single pain of glass
  • 00:43:18
    for you to indicate and enforce your
  • 00:43:21
    governance intendet scale across
  • 00:43:23
    different types of data no matter where
  • 00:43:25
    they're stored
  • 00:43:27
    now as you can imagine the possibility
  • 00:43:30
    of governance rules is really endless
  • 00:43:33
    right the rules could be about access
  • 00:43:34
    control could be about data life cycle
  • 00:43:36
    management could also be about running
  • 00:43:38
    data quality checks and many
  • 00:43:40
    more so today to start this journey
  • 00:43:43
    we're very excited to announce the
  • 00:43:45
    initial launch of governance rules
  • 00:43:47
    starting from fine grin Access Control
  • 00:43:49
    across big query and GCS so that instead
  • 00:43:53
    of having to configure governance
  • 00:43:55
    policies one table at a top time or one
  • 00:43:57
    column at a time you can now leverage
  • 00:44:00
    data Plex to apply them automatically
  • 00:44:02
    for you at scale and this would work
  • 00:44:05
    across big Cory and Google Cloud Storage
  • 00:44:09
    assets as
  • 00:44:10
    described so the goal here is to really
  • 00:44:12
    help you streamline the governance
  • 00:44:14
    operation and to really minimize any
  • 00:44:16
    potential risk to your security
  • 00:44:20
    posture last but not least we're very
  • 00:44:22
    excited to announce the latest key
  • 00:44:24
    launches driven by the partnership
  • 00:44:27
    between dataplex and
  • 00:44:30
    calbra specifically this is the preview
  • 00:44:33
    of metadata sync from dataplex to
  • 00:44:35
    calibra including technical metadata
  • 00:44:38
    business metadata as well as table level
  • 00:44:41
    lineage from
  • 00:44:42
    bikari so for this joint effort our goal
  • 00:44:45
    here is to really provide this unified
  • 00:44:49
    data Discovery experience spanning
  • 00:44:51
    multicloud and hybrid Cloud
  • 00:44:54
    environments and this is only the
  • 00:44:56
    beginning there are more exciting and
  • 00:44:59
    deeper Integrations that are being
  • 00:45:01
    planned and being worked on and
  • 00:45:04
    ultimately our goal is to provide the
  • 00:45:07
    flexibility of options and to be able to
  • 00:45:09
    help you combine the both Best of Both
  • 00:45:12
    Worlds for our
  • 00:45:14
    customers so with that thank you so much
