    Make data silos to avoid data silos – Data Dialogues

    The best way to avoid creating data silos is to develop a plethora of data silos?

    Narrator: Data Warehousing is an excellent integrator; it is the cohesive melting pot of data and the best-known way of providing multiple valid versions of the truth depending on who is looking at the data, when they are doing so, and from what perspective.

    Physician, heal thyself!

    Narrator: Consider this. If the originators, acolytes and sycophants of data mesh hadn’t been so free and easy with how they created and perpetrated technical debt, especially data model and data quality-related technical debt, then we wouldn’t need data mesh to try and get us out of the mess these sloppy developer people put us into in the first place.

    It’s not a trick question, but a tricky one that is as hard to grasp and come to terms with as a mightily greasy piglet with a very questioning tail.

    What do Pete and Dud think about that? Get ready kiddies. Let’s take a peek…

    The Data Dialogues (Nov 24) If in doubt, blame the data

    If in doubt, blame ‘data quality’

    Narrator: It doesn’t matter what you are trying to do, or even if you know what you are trying to do, but if in doubt, blame the quality of the data. There was a time when data quality was a massive impediment to business data integration.

    Data quality assurance was a glint in IT’s eye. A far-away place that nobody knew how to get to.
