Our VP of Strategy and CMO, Kelly Stirman, has been featured in this Spring’s issue of BDQ. In his article “Making Data Accessible”, Stirman discussed how using open source projects, open standards, and cloud services, companies can deliver data as a service (DaaS) to their data consumers across critical lines of business. By combining capabilities and technologies into a solution that enables access, transformation, security, and governance, Stirman contends, DaaS represents a new approach to vexing analytics challenges, delivering data at scale with high performance.
We liked this bit:
“Data as a service is an underlying movement to change people’s relationship to data and enable data consumers to get what they need just as easily as they can in their personal lives. They are not beholden to IT and they are not waiting for their turn to get IT to do something on their behalf.”
