Lack of a consistent approach in accessing internal and external data within the organization and sharing data with third parties.
Data consumed by most organizations lacks proper data quality, data certification, standards tractability, and lineage.
Organizations are looking for guidance in terms of readily accessible data from others and data that can be shared with others or monetized.

Our Advice
