Session brief
From Systems of Record to Systems of Context — Omri Bruchim & Tomer Ast, monday.com
Overview
This talk explores the evolution of data management from systems of record to systems of context. It argues that shifting focus to contextual data allows for more dynamic and intelligent applications. The core thesis is that by understanding the context surrounding data, systems can become more adaptive and provide richer insights.
Who should watch
- AI Engineers
- Product Managers
- Builders working with complex data
- Those interested in evolving data architectures
