In this age of digital transformation, it is obvious that the information assets of an organization are increasing, but putting a value on something so seemingly intangible isn’t easy – especially as information is fluid and doesn’t behave like other assets.

It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital.

I was thrilled to hear from Edg, and I was excited about meeting this woman, Agnes. She had to be an exceedingly special person to have had such an influence on Edg and Pops. I admit that I would have preferred visiting Agnes alone, but since I’d committed myself to Cam for the day, I reluctantly decided to bring him along.
