Liquidity in the financial services industry represents turning investments into cash. There are, however, investments that have serious barriers to becoming cash. Take for example a commercial skyscraper in Manhattan. The number of buyers that can afford skyscrapers is not high so the ability to liquidate an asset like that takes serious time and money.…

The other day I had somebody ask me, what is a database schema? This is a great question and something that I think should get its own video title. I explain it in other videos but it's something that needs its own attention. In essence the schema represents any kind of structure that we’re defining…

Is it possible to hammer in a nail with a jackhammer? Well sure, but obviously it would be better to have a hammer. A few months ago we paid a visit to a company that was very excited to tell us they were doing data science. As they explained the project it became painfully obvious…

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…

Raw data, to actionable information. That's ultimately a need in every organization. It’s why we have data governance programs, it's why we spend hours over databases, ETL tools, reports, and analytics. But how you set those processes up really matters. Just like the setup, the assembly line mattered for Ford. Before Ford’s assembly line, every…
