For data lakehouse platform utilization, our use cases vary between 1. respond to smart applications' data enquiries and 2. AI/ML data exploration. The first use case type mandates low latency responses, while the second consumes computational resources for long periods. Should we create two different lakehouse platforms to serve both use case types?
I work for a company with geographically dispersed operations, and we are facing significant challenges with our data collection and reporting processes for HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment). We collect a variety of environmental data (e.g., water quality indexes, equipment training compliance) from multiple sites. Our current data collection application has critical governance gaps. When an indicator shows a deviation, we struggle to trace its origin because the system lacks a clear audit trail. We cannot confidently verify who entered the data or when, which undermines the reliability of our HSE indicators. Furthermore, our data collection forms are rigid. Any request to add or modify fields requires our development team, leading to significant delays and hindering our ability to adapt to new requirements quickly. Questions: 1. How do you ensure robust data governance for HSE indicators? What tools or best practices have you found effective? 2. Have you successfully empowered your business or HSE teams to create and modify data collection forms without developer dependency? If so, what low-code/no-code platforms or solutions do you recommend?

I work at the moment a lot with state level government departments here in Australia. I think there's a growing realization that there needs to be a kind of common sharing platform across all the government departments. Instead of this one on one conversation with each organization, it needs to be a clear ecosystem that is securely shared across all those government departments (federal, state, local) and all the other organizations they deal with: suppliers, customers, regulators, and citizens. The vision of what the system covers is getting broader and broader. Leaders need to think more carefully about how to govern, share and manage it securely. There's been a number of large cyberattacks in Australia in the last couple of years, and clearly that's on the minds of people. The more they share, the more they expose their data, the more they are worried about those kinds of attacks. There's a realization that this ecosystem is getting broader and we need a much more consistent platform that's well governed and understood by all the parts needed to deal with it, including the citizens and how that's used.
