Speaker Spotlight
Cut AI Token & Compute Costs in Half
As enterprise AI scales, runaway token expenses and compute costs threaten bottom lines, while fragmented data and inconsistent KPIs undermine trust in business decisions. Uncurated data sources slow time-to-insight and create governance risks that stall execution.
Join Strategy and Kmart for a fireside chat on solving these enterprise bottlenecks. Strategy will demonstrate how a Universal Semantic Layer operationalizes trusted AI while cutting token and compute costs in half. Kmart will share their story of eliminating fragmented data, solving governance hurdles, and unifying KPI into a single source of truth while empowering business users with fast, trusted data.
