How The Very Group Is Building an Open Data Foundation for Analytics and AI

Tuesday 13th October 2026

About

As AI accelerates the pace of change, many teams discover their infrastructure was built for reporting, not real-time AI at scale. Open Data Infrastructure is redefining how organisations design for analytics, operations, and AI – using Fivetran + dbt as an interoperable foundation to embrace open standards, separate storage from compute, and keep data access portable.

In this session, Fivetran + dbt Labs and The Very Group will explore:

  • What open data infrastructure looks like in practice,and how open standards can reduce platform lock-in as AI requirements evolve
  • How The Very Group is evolving its data foundation – from an 8-year Fivetran partnership to production-critical integrations
