Why Automation is No Longer a Choice for Your Data Architecture

Back in the saddle again for The Data Warrior! Here is a piece I just did for the folks at Wherescape about one of my favorite topics – Automation!

The world of data has changed for sure. Especially over the past several years. In fact, the pandemic accelerated some changes, like the migration to cloud-based data platforms. When everyone needed to be remote, it just made sense to move to the cloud and use a service for your data platform.

Along with that came more data, more data types, and an actual business needs to move faster. Companies had to adapt very quickly during the pandemic if they wanted to survive. Many did and thrived while others, well, not so much.

As the demand for data continues to grow at unprecedented rates, and as it becomes a non-negotiable asset for organizational success, the requirement to rapidly deliver value from that data (i.e., turn it into information for data-driven decision making) has become an imperative.

So how do we deliver value faster with our data warehouses, data meshes, and enterprise data hubs? Automate, automate, automate.

Check out the full post here – Why Automation is No Longer a Choice for Your Data Architecture

Enjoy!

Combine COVID and POS Data to Ensure In-Stocks with #Snowflake and #Alteryx

Reposting this blog as it is an example of how data related to #COVID19 is being used outside of the obvious #healthcare use cases. In this case, something near and dear to us all – grocery store inventories!

We all know this is a truly unprecedented time in the world, and although sometimes we feel like we’ve been through something similar before, the reality is that we haven’t. Sure – we’ve been through natural disasters. We’ve watched smaller outbreaks from afar. We’ve all made a stock-up trip to the grocery store “just in case” our power went out, or “just in case” we were stuck in our house during a cold-stretch for a couple days, but none of those compare to what we’re seeing in our world right now. COVID-19 has drastically changed the way that the world works – both for now and for the future – and although we’ve never experienced anything like this before, we’ve also never been equipped to respond like we are today.

Stay safe out there!

5 Business Needs That Fuel Enterprise Data Warehouse Development

The global market for data warehousing is expected to grow to $34.7 billion by 2025, according to a recent report from Allied Market Research. That’s nearly double the $18.6 billion it was worth in 2017.

What fuels investment in enterprise data warehouse development? Cloud data warehouse technology has given rise to innovative systems and practices that increase efficiency and reduce costs across company functions. Today, departments like marketing, finance, and supply chain operations benefit from a modern data warehouse as much as the organization’s engineering and data science teams.

In this blog post, I list five business priorities that fuel increased investment in modern enterprise data warehouse development. See them here on the Snowflake blog site:

5 Business Needs That Fuel Enterprise Data Warehouse Development
