The Ravit Show

The financial lens often brings a grounded perspective to big announcements.At CommunityLIVE, I spoke with Prasenjit Dasgupta, CFO at Hyland, about his key takeaways from the keynote and how they connect back to customer stories and Hyland’s broader strategy.He also shared how Hyland is planning for the next 6–8 months — a period focused on strengthening customer impact, executing on strategy, and aligning investments to where the market is heading.Hearing this view from the CFO’s seat provided a clear picture of how Hyland is balancing innovation with disciplined growth to deliver real value for its customers.#data #ai #CommunityLIVE25 #hyland #theravitshow

At CommunityLIVE, I had a chance to speak with Michael Campbell, Chief Product Officer at Hyland on The Ravit Show. We discussed two exciting announcements: the Content Innovation Cloud and the Enterprise Context Engine. Mike shared how the Content Innovation Cloud is designed to help enterprise leaders unlock more value from their information, and how the Enterprise Context Engine brings intelligence and context into the heart of business processes.Hearing directly from Mike gave great perspective on how Hyland is innovating to meet the needs of modern enterprises and shaping the future of content services!!!!#data #ai #communitylive25 #hyland #theravitshow

The conversation around AI often focuses on speed and scale — but context, governance, and open collaboration matter just as much. At CommunityLIVE, I had the opportunity to sit down with John Newton, Innovation Strategist, for his talk on the State of Open Source AI and Content.We explored the key themes shaping this space:- Why this moment for AI + content is such a big inflection point- How intelligent agents could redefine the way we interact with and manage content- The role open source will play in enterprise AI and why communities are central to driving innovation- What architects and developers should take away from this shift and how they can prepare for an agent-driven future- The balance between AI innovation, governance, and compliance, and how leaders can navigate that tensionJohn also shared why he believes Hyland is on the right path with AI, aligning innovation with customer needs and enterprise realities.It was a thoughtful discussion that reinforced a simple truth: the future of content platforms will be shaped not just by technology, but by the open source communities and developers who bring it to life!!!!#data #ai #CommunityLIVE25 #hyland #theravitshow

One theme that kept coming up at CommunityLIVE was CONTEXT, especially when we talk about AI!!!!I spoke to Chris Winczewski, EVP & Head of Strategy at Hyland on The Ravit Show, to dive into this topic. He shared why context is so critical for AI to deliver real impact, and also spoke about the common challenges users face when it comes to managing their content.Hearing his perspective was a reminder that while AI opens new possibilities, the real breakthroughs happen when it’s grounded in the realities of how people work with information every day.#data #ai #CommunityLIVE25 #hyland #theravitshow

Every keynote leaves the audience with big ideas, but the real question is, what do those takeaways mean for customers?At CommunityLIVE, I sat down with Becca Toth, CMO at Hyland, to dive into this. She shared her perspective on the keynote highlights, what they mean for customers in practical terms, and why CommunityLIVE is such a powerful gathering for this community.It’s always valuable to hear directly from leadership on how these moments connect back to the people and organizations they serve.#data #ai #CommunityLIVE25 #hyland #theravitshow

It’s a statement that orchestration can be reliable, scalable, and ready for the AI-driven enterprise era.👉 Full Kestra 1.0 announcement here: https://go.kestra.io/ravit👉 Watch my interview with Anna and Will where we unpack what this means for data, AI, and infra teams.The orchestration race just changed gears.#data #ai #orchestration #kestra #theravitshow

Keynotes always set the tone for a conference, but the real insights come when you unpack what they mean for the future!!!!At CommunityLIVE, I spoke with Alan Pelz-Sharpe, Founder, Deep Analysis to get his perspective on the keynote takeaways. We explored what enterprises truly expect from AI today, not just innovation, but real outcomes that improve how they work.We also looked ahead at the future of agentic AI and how it could reshape enterprise operations. Alan’s perspective made it clear that while the technology is advancing quickly, the focus will remain on trust, usability, and value for customers.Conversations like these help bridge the big stage announcements with the practical realities enterprises face every day.#data #ai #CommunityLIVE25 #hyland #theravitshow

Speed to insight wins. If analytics cannot move decisions, it gets ignored.Fresh off Big Data London, I sat down with Clarence Rozario, Zoho on The Ravit Show to talk about how leaders are pushing BI to deliver real outcomes. The energy was high and the message was clear. Make analytics the shortest path from question to action.Why I rate Clarence as a leader: he blends field reality with product thinking. He listens to customers, trims what is not working, and ships the bits that help teams decide faster. No hype. Clear priorities. Tight feedback loops.What we discussed:* How enterprises are standardizing definitions so everyone answers the same question the same way* Cutting the cycle time from a metric to the next step with guided drill downs and clear ownership* Putting AI inside BI to explain changes in plain language and suggest actions people can trust* Short term moves that matter right now, like ready to use templates, guardrails, and monitorsWe kept it practical. Less demo polish. More ways to ship value this quarter.#data #ai #zoho #analytics #theravitshow

I had the chance to speak with Sam Newnam, Senior Director of AI Solutions at Hammerspace on The Ravit Show, about the challenges and opportunities enterprises face as they scale AI infrastructure.We began with the name itself, Hammerspace. A concept borrowed from comic books, now representing a very real approach to how data can be accessed, unified, and delivered without limits.From there, we explored the pressures shaping enterprise AI today. The rise of AI agents and enterprise-scale deployments is creating new challenges around data gravity and data friction. Sam shared why this is no longer just about storage, but about what he calls “GPU gravity”, moving data efficiently to where the models and GPUs actually are.Hammerspace’s view is clear: enterprises do not need to forklift data into proprietary silos or rewrite workflows just to enable AI. Instead, an open, Linux-native, standards-based approach allows data to remain where it lives, whether on-prem or across clouds, while streaming on demand to the infrastructure that needs it.We closed with a look ahead. As AI workloads continue to grow, the ability to unify data seamlessly and avoid lock-in will become a critical competitive differentiator.Conversations like this highlight a big shift: AI success is not just about the model. It is about how well enterprises prepare their data infrastructure to keep pace with it.#data #ai #hammerspace #infra #storage #agents #gpu #theravitshow

AI without web data is AI without context. At AI4, I spoke with Ariel Shulman, Chief Product Officer at Bright Data on The Ravit Show, about why public web data is becoming the backbone of modern AI!Ariel explained that without access to real-time, high-quality web data, models quickly lose relevance. Product listings, reviews, job postings, news, and social content all provide the signals enterprises need to make AI systems smarter and more usefulBut collecting that data at scale is not simple. CAPTCHAs, geo-restrictions, and IP blocks make it challenging. Bright Data’s mission is to remove these barriers so organizations can focus on building applications instead of fighting access issues.We also explored why real-time matters more than ever. AI agents must interact with the live web to stay effective, and that shift opens up both opportunities and responsibilitiesLooking ahead, Ariel sees public web data as central to the future of AI, but success depends on collecting and using it ethically, transparently, and at scale.The takeaway: data is the bridge between AI and the real world, and web data is one of its most important foundations!#data #ai #ai4 #brightdata #theravitshow
