    a16z Podcast | From Data Warehouses to Data Lakes

    a16z Podcast | Making the Most of the Data That Matters

    Steven Sinofsky, Prat Moghe, Gaurav Dhillon, Roman Stanek, Michael Copeland

While predictive analytics is cited as the future battleground, practitioners argue that cloud-based aggregation enables smaller enterprises to leverage machine learning by pooling otherwise insignificant datasets. Ultimately, the sector's evolution hinges on bridging the "last mile" gap by delivering simple, Excel-compatible interfaces that allow non-technical users to harness real-time insights from hybrid on-premise and cloud environments.
