Digital transformation is data transformation, and right now, most businesses have too much data coming at them and not enough of an understanding of what to do with it.

Join Jon this week as he meets with Matt Baker, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Planning at Dell Technologies, to discuss best practices for starting or continuing the journey to becoming a data-fueled business.
