Session Overview

Your AI Is Talking to Your Data. Who Else Is Listening?
How OQLIS combines data sovereignty, governance and MCP to build the future of data insights.
Artificial intelligence is changing how organisations access and understand their data. Dashboards, reports and manual analysis are giving way to a new experience where users can ask complex business questions conversationally and receive immediate, contextual insights.
However, connecting AI to enterprise data introduces a new set of risks. Where is the data processed? Which models can access it? Does the AI respect the user’s existing permissions? Can every interaction be monitored and audited? Most importantly, does the organisation remain in control of its data and intellectual property?
In this session, Andrew Bosma and Robert Kendall explore why conversational analytics requires more than an AI model and a collection of connected data sources. It requires a sovereign and governed intelligence layer that determines what AI can discover, which tools it may use, and what information each user is authorised to receive.
Through a practical demonstration, attendees will see how OQLIS combines data sovereignty, enterprise governance and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to create a controlled bridge between AI and trusted organisational data. This enables users to investigate information across multiple systems while preserving security policies, access permissions and data boundaries.
OQLIS is the sovereign intelligence layer between enterprise data and AI, and as such, helps organisations unlock conversational access to their information without surrendering control of where it resides, how it is used or who is permitted to see it.
Three Tangible Learnings
Learning 1:
Why does data sovereignty now extend beyond data residency?
Understand the importance of retaining control over data processing, AI access, permissions and portability.
Learning 2:
Why does conversational analytics need enforceable governance?
Learn how organisations can prevent AI from becoming an uncontrolled route into sensitive enterprise information.
Learning 3:
How MCP creates a governed bridge between AI and enterprise data!
See how OQLIS exposes approved data capabilities to AI while maintaining organisational security and access boundaries.
