In this interview, Shubhangi Dua, Podcast Host, Producer and B2B Tech Journalist at EM360Tech, speaks to Cooper Kenny, Founding Sales and Alliances Manager at LakeFusion, at Big Data LDN 2026 in Kensington Olympia.
Kenny tells Dua that one of the exciting things about this year's BDL was seeing how agentic AI adoption is happening and how we get there. “The growth between the last two years and what’s expected for the next few years, and the impact generative AI will have on it. Now the question is what’s the adequate technological fit to get there.”
SaaS products have exploded over the last decade. He says to think about the growth of centralised data platforms, the hyperscalers such as Databricks and Snowflake. “What these vendors have done really well is build specific customer-centric data products within their data platforms.”
“Instead of having a tool for ETL or a tool for ML or a tool for AI, enterprises and their CEOs are consolidating their spend for a more modern tech stack which would allow them to see, read and have their data communicate back and forth more effectively,” he tells Dua.
Such an approach would pave the way for enterprises to sprint towards the next generation of use cases.
