While the specifics of what constitutes core versus non-core assets remain unclear, this move aims to streamline operations and enhance innovation in the semiconductor space. However, Intel's past struggles with execution raise questions about the effectiveness of this strategy. The company must leverage its strengths while shedding distractions to remain competitive in the evolving semiconductor landscape.Google has made strides in email security by allowing enterprise Gmail users to apply end-to-end encryption, a feature previously limited to larger organizations.

A dive into how SnapLogic's industry-leading generative AI tools for application integration development tools. HFS Executive Research Leader Joel Martin in conversation with Manish Rai, VP of Product Marketing at SnapLogic. In this videocast, you will learn how generative AI and APIs can accelerate application modernization and data integration.

Everyone's looking for ways to implement AI solutions, but integrating them into existing systems means entering uncharted territory.  Despite the hype cycle, a majority of enterprise customers “are spending 70-80% of their capacity maintaining legacy application infrastructure,” said Jeremiah Stone, CTO of SnapLogic. As a result, these companies often lack the necessary talent to effectively assess or integrate AI, making compliance and security the two biggest challenges for AI-first founders. To overcome these and other adoption barriers, early-stage CEOs need to become educators and great listeners before they can ever act as salespeople. In this episode, I interviewed Jeremiah to learn more about identifying and overcoming barriers to AI adoption, strategies for effective customer engagement and the importance of transparency and iterative experimentation in AI development. Episode summary Security and compliance “are the two things that are challenging for adoption right now.” Before selling AI solutions, founders need to listen to (and educate) potential customers. “Enterprises are spending 70-80% of their capacity maintaining legacy application infrastructure.” The risk of data breaches and bad customer outcomes makes enterprises cautious. Focus on solving unique problems AI can address better than existing solutions. Build trust by starting discussions with security, compliance, and risk frameworks. Innovate openly to demystify AI for customers. Make sure your team is ready to answer typical security and compliance questions. Maintain discipline in focusing on scalable solutions rather than niche problems. “You have to create your own talent and upskill your data engineering team.” “Experiment weekly on the things that look promising and treat it as an iterative process.” Be transparent and involve customers early in your development process.

Ever since former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissioner Mary Jo White announced the Silicon Valley Initiative, we have seen the enforcement division moving into the private company sphere. Major compliance and governance failures, such as Theranos, FTX, and IRL, have put the spotlight on what is communicated internally and externally in employee, customer, and investor communications. In fiscal year 2022, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) launched 760 total enforcement actions, including hundreds of stand-alone, follow-on, and individual actions running the gamut from failures of conduct to “first-of-their-kind” to cases charging trading securities law violations. Money ordered in SEC actions comprised over $6 billion, almost doubling the prior year's amount.What is the role of the compliance function in the pre-initial public offering company, and who owns it, how do you get started, and when do you start deploying resources? When the government or a plaintiff comes knocking on the door, what is the role of directors in managing the response? The panel explores what the role of the compliance function is and why directors should care.The NACD Private Company Compliance: Investigations, Regulations, and Litigation Webinar was sponsored by Foley and Partners Louis Lehot and Thomas Carlucci joined this discussion together with:* Claudia Fan Munce - Venture Advisor NEA, Board Member of Best Buy, Arteris.IP, BMO Financial Corp., Faculty at Stanford University Graduate School of Business* Scott Kupor - Managing Partner, Andreessen Horowitz; Lecturer, Stanford University Graduate School of Business; Board Director, Cedar, Headway, Pearl Health, Ultima Genomics, Foursquare, Labster, Journera, SnapLogic, MIO Partners, The Global Impact Investing Network, Silicon Valley Community Foundation, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Genesys Works* Jeff Thomas - Executive Vice President, Corporate Platforms, Nasdaq, Inc.

The trenches of technology's marketplace battlefield are strewn with the remains of high-tech leaders, undercut by adversaries marching in with the next great innovation.  It's a manifestation of Creative Destruction, economist Joseph Schumpeter's famous theory about the continuous cycle of annihilation & creation that enables the new to replace the old.  Of course "old" is a relative term in IT, but some are beginning to view automation in its current form as a legacy encumbrance.  If it is, then what's next?   To find out we turn to Gaurav Dhillon, Chairman and CEO of SnapLogic, a leading provider of Integration Platform-as-a-Service.  Integrations are the synapses of the online world, enabling creation of neural circuits between applications, which ultimately coalesce into a computational nervous system we call the internet.  Gaurav believes that combining iPaaS with AI will redefine how enterprises interact with their employees and their customers.  The result will be organizations whose whole is greater than the sum of their parts.

George Mogannam is Chief Revenue Officer at SnapLogic, an intelligent integration platform that helps interconnect data and applications to get business value. In this episode, learn about George’s take on building a culture of accountability and why first-line managers have the most important role in a sales organization. Jess Klek, SVP of Sales Verticals & Financial Services at SalesLoft, joins as guest host. George, Jess, and Jeremey talk about how innate intellectual curiosity makes a great salesperson, the three reasons sales reps fail, and what he trains managers to look for when hiring new reps. George also discusses how to manage your day as a successful salesperson as opposed to being managed by your inbox, plus measuring enablement while everyone is working from home.

Happy Independence Day to our American listeners! Mark Mandel is back today as he and Gabi Ferrara interview Bill Creekbaum of Informatica to learn how they work with Google Cloud for a better big data user experience. Mark Mirchandani is hanging around the studio as well, bringing some cool things of the week and helping with the question of the week! Informatica provides data managing products that offer complete solutions focusing on metadata management, integration, governance, security, data quality, and discoverability. Bill’s job at Informatica is to ensure these products really take advantage of the strengths of Google Cloud Platform. One such example is a product that allows customers to design in Informatica and push their projects to Cloud Dataproc. Informatica also offers similar capabilities in BigQuery. When moving data from on-prem to the cloud, customers can use Informatica and Google Cloud together for a seamless transition, cost savings, and easier data control. Together, Informatica and Google Cloud can also facilitate the acquisition of high quality data. To have better, more trustworthy output, data inputed needs to be safe to access, have few or no duplicates and null values, and be complete. To achieve this, developers usually use a combination of the Informatica tools Intelligent Cloud Services, Enterprise Data Catalog, and Big Data Management, and the Google tools BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Analytics, Dataproc, and Pub/Sub. Bill’s closing advice for companies comes in three parts: take stock of the data you’ve got, set goals, and develop a well-rounded team. Bill Creekbaum Bill Creekbaum is Sr. Director of Product Management for Cloud, Big Data, and Analytic Ecosystems at Informatica. He is focused on delivering market leading unified data management platforms and services that help customers take advantage of their greatest assets, data. Bill has been in product management and product marketing for more than 20 years and for the past 10 has been focused on successfully delivering SaaS and Cloud Applications to the market. Prior to joining Informatica, Bill has worked at SnapLogic, GoodData, Oracle, Microsoft, Mindjet, and more. See more of Bill’s experience on LinkedIn.

Gaurav Dhillon, Founder/CEO SnapLogic - Two decades after starting a company which went public then sold to a group of investors including Microsoft, Salesforce Ventures for more than $5 billion, Gaurav Dhillon embarked on a new entrepreneurial adventure, SnapLogic, which focuses on seamlessly integrating business applications. We had him on our show this past summer to share his journey transitioning from a business suit to a hoodie…and starting a business in a very new day and age of entrepreneurship in Silicon Valley. He talks about landing a $40M round of funding to help SnapLogic disrupt the integration market. Also on the show, Nicki Klein talks about revolutionizing the job recruitment industry with Betagig, the world's first and only digital platform to streamline job shadowing. Her innovative idea won the Launch Festival of 2016, and has since influenced Fortune 500 companies such as Transamerica to remodel the hiring process. And Alex Petrov, founder and CEO of YesHealth talks about his innovative way to help people with diabetes get on a healthier track. He'll also explain how his disruptive platform can expand into helping people with other chronic diseases.

From the silver age of on-prem software companies like SAP and Siebel Systems to the golden age of enterprise software-as-a-service, we're now seeing an explosion of data. All types, all sizes, and all over the place. And much of it is a sort of industrial "data exhaust", where companies aren't quite sure what question to ask of the data but are being bombarded with data due to the variety of data sources available today -- from websites to sensors (and therefore data capture) everywhere. Before there is even a signal in the noise. So how do you solve a problem like this-Data? Beyond requiring new types of plumbing and integrations, enterprises now expect -- given the age of mobile, web, cloud, and heck, let's add millennials to the mix too -- self service. To be able to ask, get, fit (curve-fit), predict. To take back the enterprise from the patchwork of integration and number of vendors we all have to deal with -- the scope of which most companies in fact are not truly aware of. It's about the lifecycle of data in the enterprise, argues Snaplogic founder and CEO Gaurav Dhillon in this episode of the a16z Podcast, in conversation with Scott Kupor. It's in fact about the evolution of data overall -- from data warehouses to "data lakes": in stages, from purification (like wrangling data) to bottling (prepping for consumption by data scientists) to making sense of streams and streams of data!

Two decades after starting a company which went public then sold to a group of investors including Microsoft, Salesforce Ventures for more than $5 billion, Gaurav Dhillon is embarking on a new entrepreneurial adventure, SnapLogic, which focuses on seamlessly integrating business applications. Dhillon shares how spending his year off between Informatica and SnapLogic, travelling to Argentina and learning a new language, investing and advising startups, and transitioning from a suit to a hoodie, helped pave the way for starting a new company in a very different day and age. He also discusses the differences between starting a company 20 years ago versus now. Plus, he shares what entrepreneurs can learn from fly fishing to build a better business. And, in the “HealthTech” series, how Dr. Michelle Longmire, a Stanford-trained physician with a background in bioformatics and genomics, is creating powerful tools that provide improved patient care and enable analytics-driven medicine. Basically, Dr. Longmire is taking your doctor from the Stone Age to the Digital Age

Every organization these days is clear about the need to get its data act together. But that doesn't mean the path toward data bliss is clear. Data has gravity. It resides in different places at different organizations -- on premise, in the cloud, and flowing from external sources. And the rate of change within organizations is always different. So an approach towards handling data that works for one company may be the exact wrong thing for yours. Steven Sinofsky leads a conversation with three founders -- Prat Moghe, from Cazena; Gaurav Dhillon from SnapLogic, and Roman Stanek from GoodData – about the opportunity and variety of ways forward for companies looking to make the most of the data that matters.
