AIM Consulting is proud to sponsor MinneAnalytics Data Tech 2026, held on May 15 at Best Buy HQ in Richfield, Minnesota. The event brings together members of the analytics and data community to explore emerging technologies and their impact on how organizations work with data at scale.
As part of the program, Maz Chaudhri, Director of Intelligent Data & Automation at AIM Consulting, will present Data for Agents: Building the Trusted Data Spine for AI, a practical session focused on what it takes to make AI agent workflows reliable, safe, and scalable.
The Shift from Experimentation to Operational Risk
AI agents amplify both value and risk. As organizations move from experimentation to production use cases, data challenges surface quickly: fragmented sources, inconsistent definitions, unclear ownership, and missing constraints.
While human analysts can compensate for ambiguity, agents cannot. When agents act on data automatically, uncertainty becomes operational risk.
This session introduces the concept of the Trusted Data Spine, an enterprise capability centered on Context Data Products that provide AI systems with clear meaning, usage intent, ownership, and guardrails. Rather than redefining data products as dashboards, pipelines, or APIs, the session demystifies what a real data product is, and why context is the missing layer for agent‑ready data.
Attendees will learn:
- Why AI agents require deterministic meaning, not just high‑quality data
- How Context Data Products establish trust through ownership, intent, constraints, and reliability
- A practical framework teams can use to identify high‑value use cases and begin building a Trusted Data Spine incrementally
