Data Maturity: $100M-$200M in Revenue

In our previous video we talked about the Discovery Stage which pointed out the data challenges of smaller organizations. In this video, we’re going to cover the Inclusive stage which usually represents companies that are between 100-200 million dollars in size. These organizations are seeking to prioritize inclusiveness in both audience and data sources, and…

About 5 years ago I published a video titled “What’s your data management maturity?” That video has been in many boardroom meetings helping executives make sense of what their data management landscape challenges are. I want to do a refresher on that video by creating a series of 4 or 5 individual videos to dive…

If you’ve seen my video on ETL then you’re aware of the important role these kinds of integration tools play within an organization. However in that video I don’t spend a lot of time talking about ELT. So in this video I’d like to draw a distinction between these two options. ETL stands for Extract…

However, organizations are often forced to fit into the vendors box of described processes to adopt these applications. The alternative is an expensive customization effort. So…

The other day I was cleaning out some old CDs and equipment. I found a CD titled Napster. This brought back many memories of the early 2000s.
