Are you drowning in data? It seems like most organizations are, in this data-driven era.

Organizations know they need to become more data-driven to maintain profitability, support innovation, and grow the business. The most successful organizations in the world — from governments to global corporations — have made data a strategic asset. In fact, a January 2021 report from Forrester, “Chief Data Officers: Evolve Your Teams To Accelerate Impact From Data Insights,” states that 63 percent of organizations have appointed a Chief Data Officer. But there are many headwinds in the form of challenges and risks that stand in their way. Chief among these challenges is the scale and complexity of the data ecosystem. As more sources of data come online, the problem only becomes worse. Then there are the threats — both internal and external — to security and reputation.

What’s the solution? For many organizations, it’s implementing a data catalog. Data catalogs pull everything together from across your entire digital environment and help you make sense of it, at both the macro and micro levels.

If that sounds interesting, and perhaps a good fit for your organization, you’ve come to the right place!
