It's an amazing thing that Data catalogs get so much love these days. They are such an important part of a modern data platform that is used by more and more data consumers. The combination with tools like Coalesce is also great. One less integration we need to built and maintain!

That was such a great event last year. Looking forward to coming back this year again 🙂

Great pictures! 🙂 Would have loved to be there. Also great to see @Francesco Puppini there!

That's the great part about being a CRM consultant. You have a lot of impact on the data that goes in, can establish useable business keys etc. What certainly helps is ownership of the data by the same people that own the BI reports, based on the report, like in a Mesh Approach. However, that of course isn't that simple, but clear ownership in general can help. And of course good consulting and project leads who create and develop the source systems. Also great are Data Quality dashboards for the operational teams, which show basically all records that need fixing. If the same people have to clean the data as the one adding it, that usually helps in improving the entry of data in the future. Of course there is much more types of data in every company. There is also much much more you can do. But the important part is to get the info on bad data to the owners of the source to (at least try) to fix the issues in the beginning instead of only building more and more complex logic to fix everything in the data platform.

Obviously that's bs. Great technology may solve certain issues, but it cannot be a replacement for data management. We don't do Data Vault to solve technology issues but to address business challenges and to create a solid foundation for a trusted and scalable data platform, bigger enterprises can leverage to gain insights, support operational processes and to create new products (and more).
