The real value of Big Data LDN 2025 lies not in vendor pitches or keynote sessions, but in candid corridor conversations among data leaders grappling with vendor fatigue, renewal pressure, and cost consolidation.

Performance-based pricing, aligned with actual infrastructure usage, offers a more predictable and strategic alternative that supports scalable data operations without financial volatility.
