Reaching the summit: Building a future-proof data platform for a Swiss health insurance

Key Themes:

• People and trust: The success of a data and AI strategy depends on how effectively users adopt and leverage the provided insights.
• Data democratization: Databricks empowers non-technical users with natural and no-code tools to support data driven decisions across the entire organization
• Open-source commitment: Databricks reaffirmed its commitment to open ecosystems with acquiring Tabular and open-sourcing the Unity Catalog.

I particularly appreciated:

• Jacqueline Stählin, Markus Lötscher and Rea Wenk: For the mountain expedition retrospective about building a modern data platform for CSS.
• Jacob Tran and Stefanie Tenberg: For sharing learnings and pitfalls about using ML models to balance a constant grid frequency at Swissgrid.
