Seeing as I’m currently working at large for a federated organisation with significantly different and siloed business streams that are managed through a plethora of different systems – ranging from 30-year-old mainframes to modern in-cloud platforms – the topic of data fabrics is very interesting to me. Even more so given how I’m coming from …
Given the rapid push towards the digitalisation of business in 2020, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has gained attention and as a critical enabler in this regard. In April this year, while delivering on the company’s quarterly earnings report, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that “we’ve seen two years’ worth of digital transformation in two months.” It …
In an age where the role of a Chief Data Officer (CDO) and Chief Information Officer (CIO) are used interchangeably, it is easy to get them confused.

In this post I explore why an information strategy is necessary, especially in an organisation that …
Some days I get really flexed out of shape about the rate at which new terms become spontaneously combusted in the BI and analytics industry. The latest I came across is the term “elastic data warehouse.” So what are we doing here – bending the rules, stretching the imagination or flexing our muscles here? Now …
In order to cater for the demands of a modern data-centric and analytics-driven organisation, one needs a more extensive ecosystem for analytics than what a traditional simple “data source – ETL – data warehouse – dashboard” environment can cater for. This is especially relevant considering the more complex data types and structures and the more …
The increased use of analytics, coupled with an exponential growth in the volume and complexity of data, has changed the business intelligence landscape forever.
