The TikTok generation of dentists are coming in. They, just naturally, do things a different way. And so they expect more real-time as immediacy — I should be able to look at my phone and know where the 10 cases I sent you are.Robert Edwards

Ep. 5 – Connecting pets and their humans

How Best Friends Animal Society uses data sharing to connect pets to their human families, faster

Angela Embree, recently retired CIO of Best Friends Animal Society, talks with host Tim Zonca about data sharing across animal care providers and shelters. They explore the complex challenges of sharing data across thousands of organizations, and share the Best Friends approach to creating a data ecosystem that saves lives and connects pets to their humans faster.

We helped one of our shelter partners with the worst save rate go from a 30% save rate, which means 70% of the animals were dying in the shelter, to a save rate above 90%. Having that impact for the animals — and proving it — was really important.Angela Emree

Brian Kale, an independent data strategy consultant for the financial services industry and former Business Solutions executive at Bank of America, and our own James Gimourginas, Director of Solutions Architecture and Customer Success, talk with podcast host Tim Zonca about the complex challenges of data sharing in the financial services space.

Just by nature of being centralized, you become a bottleneck to innovation. And it makes it more difficult to change and adapt to the speed of business. …Having the ability to stretch across clouds is going to be table stakes.Brian Kale
