Host Susannah Streeter welcomes Michel Porter, a Partner at EY and EY’s Global Assurance Analytics Leader, and Arun Ulag, Microsoft Corporate Vice President, Azure Data, to discuss how this technology-driven collaboration is unlocking value from some of the world’s largest and most complex data sets.
