Plenty of companies have modernized their data platform. But AI stays stuck at the demo stage, because nothing connects it to the systems already in place, like SAP or Salesforce, or to the company's real processes. A reliable answer only becomes a result if a process executes it.

Snowflake provides the Data Cloud foundation.

KPC connects it to the existing IT estate and plugs agentic AI into it, so data becomes a base for action.

A Snowflake Elite Partner since 2023, KPC has been building data foundations on Snowflake since 2018 and is one of the few players in France accredited L3 for SAP Business Data Cloud.

KPC puts AI at the heart of SAP processes, from context to execution, with costs under control, by connecting SAP, Snowflake and AI.

AI-driven planning promises decisions in real time. But an agent is only worth the data it consumes: without a reliable Data foundation and without processes under control upstream, the promise stays theoretical, or worse, it automates decisions on wrong data.

Pigment is the decision surface. KPC, Pigment Regional Consulting Partner with 40 dedicated consultants, knows both that platform and the Data & Process foundation that feeds it. Agentic planning only delivers on its promise when both hold.

On 24 September at the Pavillon Gabriel in Paris, the Semarchy SEMEA Summit 2026 brings together data leaders and the Semarchy teams around one theme: intelligent data products for the agentic enterprise.

On the business side, “MDM” no longer lands: it suggests a long, costly programme with no readable value. Companies want reliable, AI-ready data, not a three-year master data project.

KPC, Silver Sponsor and Semarchy partner

What we believe: reference data is a data product question, not an MDM project. With the Semarchy Data Platform — MDM, Data Quality, DataOps, governance and integration in one, running on Snowflake (Native App), Azure, AWS, GCP or on-prem — KPC helps its clients design, govern and deliver reliable data products, ready for AI.

What sets us apart: the convergence of Data × Process. Reference data is data governance process — the heart of KPC's know-how.

Companies are launching agentic AI projects on data foundations that are neither governed, nor documented, nor traced. While data only fed dashboards, approximation was absorbable: an analyst would correct it, a business user would cross-check.

With an agent, approximation becomes an automated decision, carried out with no human judgment. A weak foundation stops being visible, and starts executing.

Client story APICIL × DataGalaxy × KPC — Data Catalogue & Governance.

Not for lack of volume — but for lack of knowledge, structure and sharing.

• Fragmented documentation — hard to get at, it breeds misunderstandings and duplicate reports.

• Usage rules barely shared — they keep mistrust alive and slow decisions down.

• Complicated data access — it limits teams' autonomy and leans heavily on the experts.

• No visibility on who owns what — it makes finding the right person hard.

Since 2025, APICIL has run a structuring initiative around a Data Catalogue, in partnership with DataGalaxy and KPC — built with the business and IT, grounded in concrete use cases, with results visible in 4 months.

The APICIL group's story

Alice Sellin, Head of Group Data Quality at APICIL, looks back on the Data Catalogue work carried out with DataGalaxy and KPC:

• The context and the stakes — the data governance challenges APICIL set out to answer

• How it was done — building it together across business and IT, choosing the tool, running the workshops

• The results — a shared glossary, data lineage, teams working independently

• What comes next — the roadmap for the next use cases

Matthieu Augier (KPC) and the DataGalaxy speaker will give their perspective on the method and the tool.

“Give everyone the means to understand, find and use data with confidence.”

Plenty of organizations have data initiatives. Few have a roadmap their leadership signs off and follows. Projects start without strategic alignment, leadership cannot see the ROI, and roadmaps stay in the slides without ever becoming operational.

On Tuesday 16 June 2026, Nicolas Aumaistre (Head of Consulting, KPC) presented the flash audit approach that reveals the gaps and sets the priorities, in 3 phases: exploratory audit, strategic alignment, ROI-driven transformation plan. Laurent Dresse (Chief Evangelist, DataGalaxy) showed how Portfolio Manager supports every step, from identifying use cases to tracking performance continuously.
