Feed: Domo Blog. Author: CIO.com. You’ve got dozens, or hundreds, of data sources. How do you hook into all of them to uncover actionable insights? The new frontier of data management is not really centered on the collection or even the analyzing of data, but on access, consolidation, and sharing, and making that data (even if it’s from two seemingly disparate, unrelated data sources) actionable. For example, it’s one thing to pull data from Salesforce to understand how much revenue you stand to make from a recent deal, but it’s another thing to merge that data with Concur to understand ...

Years ago, long before Drew Brees concluded his keynote speech at Domopalooza 2019 by zipping footballs into a crowd of more than 2,000 fans, he sat in the backseat of a car and quietly absorbed the destruction of a section of New Orleans caused by Hurricane Katrina. At the same time, New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton was in the driver’s seat, taking it all in as well, but angry at himself for getting lost and ending up in a neighborhood that looked like a war zone. “He was recruiting me to come ...

Feed: Domo Blog. Author: CIO.com. Data is the lifeblood of a company’s business, but its value is severely diminished when it’s locked away in silos. That’s why every CIO needs to be a bridge builder. In a recent report, Gartner wrote that most organizations have identified the need to build a data-driven organization, a development reflected by the increasing appointment of chief data officers (CDO). At the same time NewVantage Partners, a consultancy, reports that 63% of organizations have a CDO, up from just 12% in 2012. To use data effectively and competitively, every enterprise needs a bridge builder, an executive to establish ... Read More

Feed: Domo Blog. Author: CIO.com. CIOs will invest more in data analytics than almost any other technology. So why aren’t enterprises better at data management? A 2017 article in Forbes posed an intriguing question: Data rules the world, but who rules the data? The organizations that collect it, the systems that store it, or the analysts who decipher it?   The fact that the question is being asked highlights the data problem at enterprises large and small. That is, the absence of a comprehensive set of data “laws” that govern the collection, sharing, and use of data. For several years, “data as ... Read More

The imperative for enterprises to “deliver the right data to the right people at the right time” may be cliché, but it’s no less true.

For the last few years, the name of the game has been integration; bringing data together from different sources into a ... Read More

It shows me how much our tech community is growing and gives me a chance to catch up with folks I admire but haven’t seen in a while. This year was certainly no exception. During SSTS 2019, which took place last month in Salt Lake City, I got to reconnect with a number of my favorite people, including Cathrin Stickney ... Read More

But with so much data at their fingertips, where should retailers look to find competitive advantages with analytics?
