When an organization’s data governance and metadata management programs work in harmony, then everything is easier. Data governance is a complex but critical practice. There’s always more data to handle, much of it unstructured; more data sources, like IoT, more points of integration, and more regulatory compliance requirements. Creating and sustaining an enterprise-wide view of and easy access to underlying metadata is also a tall order.

Many organizations today are unlocking the power of their data by using graph databases to feed downstream analytics, enahance visualizations, and more. Yet, when different graph nodes represent the same entity, graphs get messy. Watch this essential video with Senzing CEO Jeff Jonas on how adding entity resolution to a graph database condenses network graphs to improve analytics and save your analysts time.

Today’s CFOs are more than the head of accounting and finance. They’re increasingly considered the data steward for the entire enterprise, meaning the person who makes data accessible and valuable for everyone else. As finance leaders evolve to become information experts , they must understand how data informs decision making. At this point, most companies have more than enough data with which to work, but they’re still struggling to work with it efficiently and effectively.

Incentive Trips: These two words provoke vastly different feelings from different people. Traditionally, incentive trips were exclusively for sales people and executives. They would go to an exotic locale, get a little bit of sun, and celebrate their big wins. Incentive trips were a reward for being top sellers and leading the company. Simple enough.

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?
Speaker: Scott Sehlhorst
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.

Understanding the value of your data assets. Data is often talked about as a lake – organisations are either building or sitting on data lakes, but the problem with this analogy is that not all data in the lake is equally valuable. From a valuation perspective it is much better to think about data pools. Independent data assets – that may be combined into larger pools – but each data pool can create value in its own right.

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.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability.

After 116 years in business, legendary guitar maker Gibson filed for bankruptcy in 2018. Prior to the filing, Gibson’s CEO Henry Juszkiewicz was one of the most staunch advocates for “innovation” that you could find. During his tenure as CEO, he sought to transform Gibson from a guitar manufacturer into a “music lifestyle brand.” While he successfully built a culture of innovation, he missed a key ingredient, customer demand.
