The future of computing is about building intelligent devices, not just faster ones. As Lenovo transforms from the world's largest PC manufacturer into an intelligent devices company where every laptop, tablet, and workstation becomes a source of insight, they faced a challenge: How do you unify data from 180 million devices across 160 markets while enabling hundreds of data scientists to deploy AI models in weeks instead of quarters?

Traditional data platforms promised the world but delivered 18–24-month timelines, vendor lock-in, and restrictive architecture choices. Lenovo needed something fundamentally different, a true data operating system that treats data products as reusable building blocks rather than one-off pipelines and provides a unified semantic layer that gives AI models the business context they need.

In this session, learn how Lenovo went from concept to production data products in less than 8 weeks, and how these building blocks now drive measurable value across warranty prediction, customer personalization, and new revenue streams.
