Without deep technical knowledge of Epicor’s data structures, attempting to manually create custom reports can create serious roadblocks to data trust within your organization.
Introducing Container Runtime: Enabling Flexible, Scalable Training and Inference on GPUs from a Snowflake Notebook
Predictive machine learning continues to be a cornerstone of data-driven decision-making. However, as organizations accumulate more data in a wide variety of forms, and as modeling techniques continue to advance, the tasks of a data scientist and ML engineer are becoming increasingly complex. Oftentimes, more effort is spent on managing infrastructure, jumping through package management hurdles, and dealing with scalability issues than on actual model development.
Episode 11: The future of data lakes: Open table formats, metadata and AI | AWS
Paul Meighan, Director of Product Management at AWS, shares how enterprises are increasingly looking for ways to integrate more data sources in their environment — especially with data lakes. From turning S3 buckets into databases to establishing better metadata layers, Meighan explores the rapid evolution of data lakes alongside data warehouses.

From RAGs to Riches: Why Retrieval-Augmented Generation Wins the RAG vs. Fine-Tuning Battle
In the world of LLMs, size doesn’t matter. It’s how you generate output that counts. Generative AI (GenAI) adoption rate in organizations jumped from 33% to 65% this year, which means if your organization isn’t leveraging AI, it’s time to get on board or get left behind. One powerful way enterprises are leveraging GenAI is by training and deploying private Large Language Models (LLMs).
Everything You Need to Know about RAG
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is gaining traction, and for good reason. As businesses and AI experts search for more intelligent ways to process information, RAG combines the best of both worlds, i.e., the vast knowledge of retrieval systems and the creative power of generation models. But what exactly is RAG, and why is everyone talking about it?
Generative AI: The New Age of Document Processing
What do you think of when you think of generative AI? Generating photos, animations, and videos? Coding and solving math problems? Writing content and brainstorming with a chatbot? These have all driven plenty of excitement around AI, but there’s so much more to it than that! From an enterprise perspective, Generative AI’s impact on intelligent document processing technology is remarkable.
