Navigating Data Integration in Acquisition Strategies

Today’s guest is Amit Gupta, Chief Digital Officer, Life Sciences Manufacturing Industry, at Danaher. Amit returns to the program to share the operational playbook behind building enterprise-ready AI infrastructure. While AI headlines tend to focus on models, Amit emphasizes that success begins with what’s underneath — the data. He outlines a four-part architecture that includes data aggregation, integration, transformation, and harnessing, walking listeners through how Danaher built a system that enables — not constrains — AI deployment. He also explores how tiered storage strategies address not just technical needs, but real-world challenges in compliance, cost control, and security.
