61 “ Together we don’t just power AI, we make it safe to scale” or speeding up decision-making, the goal must come first and ideally have a measurable impact. Once the customer has identified their AI goal, Denodo can help the firm get their data in order while Microsoft delivers the targeted AI insights, working in tandem to ensure business value is both measurable and scalable. We are already seeing this collaboration unlock value across industries by accelerating compliance, improving frontline decisions and transforming citizen services. That’s the difference between AI that generates answers and AI that generates action. Denodo’s Logical Data Management approach also enables the creation of highly valued, reusable data products in the form of modular, governed views of enterprise information that can be analysed by Copilot or other business applications. It reduces time to insight, builds trust in AI outputs and helps scale generative AI without spawning new silos. Generative AI may be impressive, and it can be easy to rush ahead, but in regulated sectors this isn’t enough. Use cases need to be explainable, auditable and compliant. That’s why Denodo and Microsoft are aligned not just on innovation, but also on responsibility. Microsoft’s Responsible AI framework is the industry benchmark and Denodo is reinforcing it by delivering lineage, role-based security and policy enforcement at the data layer. Together we don’t just power AI, we make it safe to scale. Even with a strong start, many organisations can still stumble at the final step: making sure the AI tool has the data it needs, when it needs it. Denodo aims to eliminate that friction and its platform delivers real-time access without delays, making Copilot a true decision-making partner, not just a chatbot. You shouldn’t have to rethink your infrastructure to adopt AI. You just need to rethink how you activate your data. Errol Rodericks is director of product marketing for EMEA and LATAM at Denodo.
