In our present energy environment, we're witnessing a significant shift from conventional fossil fuels to renewable sources—changes significantly driven by data. Even though green technology has been around for some time, it's only recently reached cost equilibrium. Furthermore, with digital connectivity, we're now able to adjust to changing weather conditions impacting supply and demand in real-time.    So, the question becomes: how can forward-thinking energy organizations leverage these advancements? How can they embrace the opportunities ushered in by the '3 D's—decentralization, decarbonization, and digitalization—and apply these at scale?    With the appropriate tools and technology accessible, we believe these transformations offer more than challenges; they bring significant opportunities for innovation and growth.  Hear three Credera energy experts (Benjamin Gilbert, Managing Director based in London, Aaron Grotzinger, Partner based in Houston, and Mike Duffy, Principal Architect based in Houston) discuss this topic in greater depth. Show outline: Intro 3:30 – What does “the energy transition” actually mean?  7:10 – The 3D's (decentralization, digitalization, and decarbonation) impact on supply and demand of energy   14:20 - Technological advancements that will positively impact the supply side of the energy sector  18:15 – How is demand for energy evolving  24:10 – Balancing demand with cost reduction and customer satisfaction elements   33:15 – Activities to encourage consumer adoption of new trends in the UK  42:20 – Key questions technology leaders should consider when assessing readiness and progress through the energy transition --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/credera/message

Developing a strong first-party data strategy and understanding how to tap into second- and third-party data sources is top of mind for every marketer trying to navigate the evolving privacy landscape. Yet in a recent survey Credera conducted with over 200 global chief marketing officers, more than half (51%) said “we haven't started yet” or “there's a lot of work to be done” to re-focus efforts on first-party data collection.   For many of these marketers, this is exactly where data clean rooms should come into play.   Data clean rooms are environments where two parties can securely share and analyze data in a regulatory compliant space that doesn't violate consumers' privacy.   On our most recent episode of Technically Minded, we discuss the ins and outs of data clean rooms, share how they can create significant long-term business value, and give practical next steps to organizations and industries looking to maximize the potential of this important technology. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/credera/message

Do you deal with a lot of data? Do you need to analyze and interpret data? Veritone’s platform is designed to ingest audio, video, and other data through batch processes to process the media and attach output, such as transcripts or facial recognition data. Today, we’re talking to Christopher Stobie, a DevOps professional with more than seven years of experience building and managing applications.
