Then Tina Rosario, SAP Chief Data Officer for Europe and Women in Big Data EMEA President, delivered a keynote around Big Data Trends. She explained her key takeaways from her conversations with other CDOs and CTOs in Europe. For example, she elaborated on the new trends in platforms, intelligence, streaming and regulations. She also talked about the concept of data citizens, who are now essential elements in a successful data strategy.
