Healthcare Specific Content from TAF

		Matt Harris Head of IT Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport
With 3.5 TB data transfer per race weekend, over 300 data sensing modules per car, and 18,000 channels of data analyzed per race, the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport F1 team relies on TIBCO for their success. Matt discussed the intensive operations and research that goes into each race, and how TIBCO is fundamental by helping improve the car’s digital twin, pre-event setup of the car, and simulate car setup variations.
		Michelle Kannapel Head of IT Norton Healthcare
Michelle showed us the importance of analytics in Healthcare today. Americans spent more than $3.65 trillion on healthcare last year, with 39% being on hospital care alone. Challenges in standardization, shift management, variation in staffing alignment, and other factors all increase the need for analytics. Using TIBCO Spotfire, Norton Healthcare has been able to benchmark and track, align and predict, and take action and accountability, all producing measurable and impactful results.
		Michael O'Connell Chief Analytics Officer TIBCO Software Inc
In a fast-paced and action-packed presentation, TIBCO CAO Michael O’Connell launched us through the TIBCO Analytics portfolio and the power of making AI work for us. Whether you’re trying to use equipment data to learn from past operations, navigating geologies to determine your next capital project, or scoring live equipment data to monitor operations and predict failures in real-time, TIBCO Analytics provides extreme value to businesses in all vertical sectors. In addition to our long-standing TIBCO strength with Spotfire and Streaming, TIBCO now has extended capabilities in Data Science with data prep, feature engineering, machine learning and AI operations at scale, Master Data Management to govern all shared data assets, and Data Virtualization to federate and manage data across multiple sources, at a fraction of the cost of Data Warehousing. Michael closed with an update of the latest and greatest in TIBCO Spotfire and TIBCO Data Science.
		Matt Quinn Executive Vice President, Products & Technology, and COO TIBCO Software Inc
TIBCO’s COO guided the crowd through the company’s vision, where we are redefining what it means to manage and take action on data using our 3 portfolio product investment areas: InterConnect Everything, Unify Data, and Augment Inteligence. Matt went on to discuss TIBCO’s underlying technology approaches of Cloud-native, Open-platform, and AI foundation, and how these help TIBCO customers solve the world's biggest challenges by enabling analysts, data scientist and developers to work together at scale.
