How Data Vault 2.0 Supports Your Data Governance Strategy – Part 1

Data Vault 2.0 is way more than just a data modeling approach. In fact it is an entire methodology and architecture for building business intelligence and analytic solutions. This is a post just released that I wrote for Data Rebels on how DV2 actually supports various aspects of data governance. Check it out.

With the growth of volume and diversity of data in recent years, it has become even more critical for organizations to develop an effective and scalable strategy for data governance and its closely aligned sibling discipline – Master Data Management. The importance of ensuring the security and the quality of data has never been more important than now. Add to that the increased pressures for regulatory compliance and privacy concerns, having a solid approach to data governance is no longer an option, it’s a necessity. In this 2-part blog series, I will discuss how the Data Vault 2.0 System of Business Intelligence addresses these concerns and incorporates both Data Governance and Master Data Management. 

Read the entire post here: Data Vault 2.0 and Data Governance – Part 1.

Stay tuned for Part 2!

It Depends (or Does It?) – Episode 13

A few weeks back, right after attending Snowflake Summit, I had the pleasure of chatting with Sanjeev Mohan on his podcast – It Depends. We spent an hour or so chatting about trends in modern data management, data mesh, data vault, my now semi-retired life as an advisor to several Snowflake partners, and my love of martial arts.

So sit back, relax (I did), and enjoy!

Aloha.

Data Vault and Data Mesh – A Match Made in the Cloud?

Check out my latest thoughts about Data Vault and Data Mesh:

Over the last six years (after I joined Snowflake basically), I have witnessed a massive increase in the interest and implementation of Data Vault 2.0. I have talked to literally hundreds of companies across the globe and across all industries about changing their approach to building an enterprise data platform. It was sort of mind boggling how many folks wanted to speak to me about this. So why, after almost two decades of successful data vault implementations, have so many people “suddenly” got interested in Data Vault?

Well, a few reasons:

1. They are moving to the cloud (in this case, Snowflake) and figured it was time to look at their approach to data warehousing and data lakes.

2. What they had been doing for decades, on critical review, really was not working (i.e., lots of expensive re-engineering all the time) and definitely could not scale.

3. Things are changing so rapidly, they needed to find a way to be more agile.

What do you think?

Have a great week!

WWDVC 2022 is almost here – Are you ready to “up” your Data Vault game?

Vermont is beautiful in May!

As the world is coming out of its pandemic induced isolation, its time we all got back to meetin’ and greetin’ our colleagues and peers in person. One of the things the last two years has taught us it that humans are social animals. We like being around other humans and some variety is good for our mental and emotional health (not that we don’t all love the families that we have been locked up with during this time). Not only that, but we learn and communicate better face to face. So much of our communication is nonverbal and just can’t be seen behind a mask, or a Zoom square.

Are you ready to get back out there, network with your peers, meet some Data Vault Masters, and work on your professional development around Data Vault? If you are then it is time to secure your seat at the 2022 World Wide Data Vault Consortium (WWDVC). As in past years, it will be held near the end of May at the lovely, and family friendly, Stoweflake Lodge in Stowe, Vermont.

Check out all the details, including HOLs, keynotes, and session topics, about WWDVC 2022 in this post by Cindi at DataRebels – WWDVC 2022 is almost here

If you are already planning to go, you can just register here.

Keep on modeling!
