We’ve been seeing a common pattern across AI projects lately:the issue usually isn’t the model — it’s the quality and structure of the data underneath it. If the data lacks consistency, lineage, context, or trust, AI tends to amplify those problems rather than solve them. We recently put together a piece exploring why data quality is becoming a core AI readiness issue in modern lakehouse environments, including where approaches like Data Vault can help create a more reliable foundation for AI. Interested to hear if this aligns with what others are seeing. https://ignition-data.com/resources/data-intelligence-series/your-ai-is-only-as-trustworthy-as-your-data-a-practical-framework-for-data-quality-in-the-modern-lakehouse

We recently put this together based on what we’re seeing across a number of AI projects. A common pattern is that it’s not the model that’s holding things back, it’s the structure and quality of the data underneath. If the foundation isn’t consistent and well organised, AI outputs become hard to trust. This piece goes into that in a bit more detail, including where approaches like Data Vault can help create a more reliable base for AI in a lakehouse setup. Interested to hear if this aligns with what others are seeing or if you’ve tackled it differently. https://ignition-data.com/resources/data-intelligence-series/your-data-architecture-is-holding-your-ai-back

The July issue of Data Vault Insider – our bi-monthly newsletter packed with Data Vault resources, tips and new – is now out. In this issue, we are unpacking one of the most misunderstood topics in Data Vault implementation: parallel loading. Nols Eberson breaks it down in plain terms (with a great “bus lane” analogy to boot). You’ll also find: >> A case study from RESIMAC on simplifying Data Vault delivery >> Two in-depth demos on how to automate Data Vault on Microsoft Azure >> A full rundown of the new Certified Data Vault 2.1 Practitioner course and what’s changed Check it out here: https://ignition-data.com/data-vault-insider-july-2025 If you would like to get Data Vault Insider directly into your inbox going forward, you can subscribe here: https://ignition-data.com/data-vault-insider-newsletter

The next DV Q&A is here, Nols explains how to manage conflicting business definitions for the same concept. Enjoy. Please send though any questions you woudl like answered in the chat. https://youtu.be/SjPXMj47ckY?si=U_NAupB3bm5HKtz-

Another Q&A with Nols, this one on what it really means to load a Data Vault in parallel. If you have any questions you woudl like Nols to answer please put them in the comments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34Cmv_uKnDY
