We would like to share our vision, strategy and learnings with Databricks Genie. You want to know something, you ask, you get an answer. By enabling our users to interact with our data, AkzoNobel can anticipate developments in Supply Chain Management, Finance and Service Delivery more quickly driving impact. This requires a new form of cooperation between business and IT. The responsibilities will be shared and clearly defined as IT will be in control to safeguard standards and the business will provide semantics. For the users there is also a change to be managed, most will think in reports when asking questions to Genie while DeepSearch allows much more. Further innovation with Genie DeepSearch allows us to bring insights to our management in the form of podcasts or videos. Genie is a gamechanger when done right. It allows for completely different ways of interacting with insights but also offers opportunities for IT to simplify the Analytics landscape.
