Enterprises managing data and AI assets across multiple tools and platforms often face fragmented governance, redundant data copies, and operational overhead. This session shows how Unity Catalog serves as a single governance layer for the open lakehouse by allowing every engine to access to the same data, with the same policies, without sacrificing performance or security.
Through deep-dives, live demos, and an enterprise use case from General Motors, you'll see how organizations are using UC Open APIs to break down data silos and enforce consistent governance across their data estate. Whether you're evaluating multi-engine architectures or scaling governance across a large organization, you'll leave with practical learnings you can apply right away.
