⁉️Can your organisation prove that the wrong people don't have access to sensitive data — or can it only show you who does?

✅With regulation on the rise (and more on the way), the challenge is no longer just making sure the right people have access to the right data. Increasingly, you need to be able to prove, to an auditor or regulator, that the wrong people don't — and never did — have that access. That's a fundamentally different governance problem.

Sandro Scordo, Francisco Aguiar and Bart Koek discuss this challenge in our latest webinar with Immuta and BI4ALL by Plexus.

Is your organisation as ready to prove the "no" as the "yes"? Watch the full webinar here: https://youtu.be/-EEL3AeuthE

Want to build your first AI agent? 🤖

The biggest mistake: trying to build one that does everything. The secret is to start simple.

Before anything else, answer 3 questions:
1️⃣ Who will use it?
2️⃣ What tasks will it handle?
3️⃣ What will it actually do?

Then follow 6 steps: define its identity → connect the right knowledge → set its capabilities → add suggested prompts → test it thoroughly → pilot with a small group before rolling out wider.

Clarity first, complexity never. Take 15 minutes and start building. ⏱️

Great breakdown by Marta Carreira 🙌

⚠️Think choosing the right platform solves 80% of your data governance problem? It's actually the other way round.

According to Sandro Scordo, Francisco Aguiar, and Bart Koek, the platform decision is the easy part—that's the 20%. The real 80% of the challenge lies in designing governance, understanding the organisation's actual maturity, and driving change within a regulated environment.

💡This is exactly where most data governance projects fail — not because of the technology chosen, but because of how it's implemented.

Immuta and BI4ALL by Plexus shared this and other practical lessons in our latest webinar.

Can an AI review your Power BI models faster and more consistently than your best architect?

Most organisations rely on manual reviews to catch bad DAX, inconsistent naming, and fragile models before they hit production — but that approach doesn't scale, and quality often depends on who's reviewing.

💡We built an agent that changes this: it inspects the TMDL metadata, runs Microsoft's Best Practice Analyser, checks Medallion architecture standards, and even reviews governance — turning hours of expert review into a business-friendly report in minutes, complete with a Maturity Score and a clear action plan.

The result? Consistent quality, faster delivery, and architects freed up for higher-value work.

⚠️Is your data team spending more time creating access than actually using it to deliver value?

For every study, trial, system, and country, one organisation had to create—and maintain—a dedicated Active Directory security group for every access permutation.

💡The result: over 100,000 groups to manage. Some of it can be automated, but the ongoing maintenance still eats up resources that should be solving real business problems, not multiplying technical admin.

This is exactly the kind of pain Sandro Scordo, Francisco Aguiar, and Bart Koek unpack in our latest webinar with Immuta and BI4ALL by Plexus.

⚠️What happens the day your AI agent deletes production data — and no one can explain why it had access in the first place?

✅Most companies don't have an AI problem. They have a trust-to-production problem: agents that dazzle in pilots but never get cleared to touch real systems, because no one can prove they're safe.

The EU AI Act just made that gap impossible to ignore — with obligations already in force and high-risk deadlines now set for December 2027 and August 2028. The organisations getting ahead aren't just avoiding fines up to €35M. They're building the governance layer that turns "maybe someday" pilots into production-ready AI.

Curious what a real production gate looks like — and why policies alone won't stop an agent from reasoning its way around them?

Orlando Anunciação and Sandro Scordo break it all down: the Evidence Pack, the four-layer architecture for governing AI agents, and the maturity model that tells you exactly what you unlock at each level.

Most organizations know they need to govern their AI. Fewer have turned that intention into a system that regulators, auditors, and business leaders can all trust. This article explains why the gap exists, what closes it, and what a structured path forward looks like.

Self-service analytics is growing 25% per year — and it’s changing who gets to make decisions.

When everyone can access insights, decision-making stops being top-down.

Are you empowering your team to explore data, or still gatekeeping access?

13/08/2026

81% of companies are already using AI or ML in their analytics.

The irony?
Most executives say they’re still in the early stages of AI maturity.

AI isn’t just a feature — it’s a mindset shift.

Where do you think your organisation truly stands on the AI adoption curve?
