About the Webinar

The pandemic unleashed chaos on retailers the world over. To navigate a global supply chain in chaos, TJX (the company behind TJ Maxx and Homegoods) had to leverage data intelligence to get its supply chain in order.

Gana Nagarajan led that charge. As Product Management leader at TJX, he has rolled out Alation to make data easier to find, understand and trust. Today, Gana evangelizes smarter data usage to business units at TJX, training teams on self-service analytics across the company.

Join us, with Bob Seiner and Gana Nagarajan, to learn:

• How TJX uses Alation to intelligently manage their global supply chain
• The key role of a business glossary in tying metrics to business terms
• How an exploratory view of data makes people smarter – and supports data literacy and culture across the organization
