On May 15 in Almaty, Awara IT hosted an intimate business dinner for CDOs, IT directors, digital transformation leaders, and heads of analytics and BI teams. The theme: treating data management not merely as a technology, but as an art — requiring fine tuning, a refined architecture, and a strategic vision.
Over 30 representatives from leading local and international organizations — including Freedom Broker, Kaspi Bank, and Toyota Motor Kazakhstan — came together for the evening.
Keynote Presentation
Anton Vatov, Director of Analytics, Big Data & AI at Awara IT, opened the discussion with modern approaches to building data management platforms — from cloud deployments to closed-loop architectures. He highlighted a hands-on case study of Microsoft Fabric implementation at Bank CenterCredit.
