The tools used for publishing data for analytic consumption have come a long way, providing in some cases access to real time data.
However, tools are only part of the equation. The likelihood of success by just placing tools into the mix is fairly low.
At the heart of the issue is how we ensure that data is trustworthy.
Twenty years ago we stopped the presses, validated the data, and when we were sure of its accuracy, we published it for consumption.
Today the pace of business has accelerated where valuable potential business opportunities are known by all thanks to the efficient global communications network. If you don't have the data to react to opportunities someone else will.
The processes many organizations use are optimized for the batch integration and validation of data as part of the publication process.
Many organizations also impose rigid time consuming controls on the underlying data model and the processes used to integrate data into the data model.
In a global, fast paced world, this flies in the face of getting just in time relevant trustworthy data to those who need to access it to derive fact based decisions.
At the core of this new accelerated pace is the ability to profit from opportunities and defend from operational and other risks.
