WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation

The core idea behind data lineage is the ability to fully understand how data flows from one place to another within the infrastructure that was built to house and process it. It seems like it should not be a difficult problem, but it is. In fact, it is a huge issue for organizations as they face 2022 and beyond. If organizations do not know where their data comes from or goes, they have uncontrolled environments that have risk on many different levels. Having uncontrolled data environments means that it is also very difficult to extract value from data, and data is the new oil or new gold. Organizations that cannot extract value from data stand a good chance of being outcompeted and replaced by organizations that can.

At first glance, the data fabric and the data mesh concepts sound quite similar. Meshes are often made from a type of fabric, after all, and they are both malleable items that can be lain atop things–in this case, your IT systems that are subject to the ever-growing data crush.

But there are fundamental differences to these two approaches, so it’s worth taking some time to learn their differences.

Finding shabby abodes like these and making them respectable is the load-bearing wall of Amherst’s strategy. Amherst depends on humans to find cities, towns, and neighborhoods where fixer-uppers can become profitable, then relies on automation to pick individual homes. Negri, 31, heads the human team.

Next time you meet a marketer, ask them (or ask yourself if you have a marketing budget) the following question: As of today, what percent of your marketing budget have you spent so far this month and is your overall spend tracking above or below budget? More often than not you don’t get a straight answer. Because they do not know. The spend for different marketing channels is typically tracked in different tools or in different siloed reports. Nowhere is it added up every day.

An oil refinery is an industrial cathedral, a place of power, drama and dark recesses: ornate cracking towers its gothic pinnacles, flaring gas its stained glass, the stench of hydrocarbons its heady incense. Data centres, in contrast, offer a less obvious spectacle: windowless grey buildings that boast no height or ornament, they seem to stretch to infinity.
