It’s not a lack of data that’s holding companies back from digital transformation. Data is pouring in from more sources than ever. It’s not that analytics aren’t available. Businesses have access to rich descriptive analytics to build profiles that answer the “who” questions and diagnostic analytics to answer the “why”.

Big data is changing the way we live in countless ways. We usually talk about the massive technological advances that AI and other big data technologies have brought to large companies. However, developments in data technology have also led to some important improvements for everyday consumers. One of the biggest benefits of big data is that it saves time.

Modern organizations are always looking for a competitive edge in this rapidly changing era of digital transformations. With research showing that a more diverse team leads to increased revenue, “diversity and inclusion” is on every company’s agenda. Despite this fact, it’s been no secret that tech companies regularly fall below the national average when it comes to diversity of race, gender, and educational background.

Incentive Trips: These two words provoke vastly different feelings from different people. Traditionally, incentive trips were exclusively for sales people and executives.

I still remember my college days. Technology was more readily available than ever, but big data was not a thing yet. Students were not using big data to assist with their learning goals. Today, big data is vital to the learning process. A number of companies have been built solely to create big data platforms for students. Business leaders are constantly trying to come up with new ideas on how to make life simpler.

There’s a lot of noise surrounding the ability of AI agents to connect to your tools, systems and data. But building an AI application into a reliable, secure workflow agent isn’t as simple as plugging in an API. As an engineering leader, it can be challenging to make sense of this evolving landscape, but agent tooling provides such high value that it’s critical we figure out how to move forward.

Predictive models learn patterns in training data and use that information to predict target values for new data. There are two data sets at play in this process, the training data and the scoring or inference data. The model will work well in production (i.e., produce accurate predictions in line with expectations) when the new inference data is similar to the training data.

Data catalogs have quickly become a core component of modern data management. Organizations with successful data catalog implementations see remarkable changes in the speed and quality of data analysis, and in the engagement and enthusiasm of people who need to perform data analysis. By contrast, organizations without a data catalog often have these questions: What is a data catalog?

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources.

In an earlier blog, I defined a data catalog as “a collection of metadata, combined with data management and search tools, that helps analysts and other data users to find the data that they need, serves as an inventory of available data, and provides information to evaluate fitness data for intended uses.”. From modest beginnings as a means to manage data inventory and expose data sets to analysts, the data catalog has grown in functionality, popularity, and importance.

Data curation is a term that has recently become a common part of data management vocabulary. Data curation is important in today’s world of data sharing and self-service analytics, but I think it is a frequently misused term. When speaking and consulting, I often hear people refer to data in their data lakes and data warehouses as curated data, believing that it is curated because it is stored as shareable data.
