With the arrival of the cloud, and business focus on service based
reporting, capturing data has never been more important.
This series will discuss the challenges of capturing the sorts of data
required, to answer the demands of the business.
This is not a series about Big Data, but about data in general.
Why talk about data?
Dashboard, Dashboard,
Dashboard - At events there is a lot of discussion about dashboards. Always talking about the best way to display
data and drill down this and RAG status that.
Alerts, Automation & CMIS - We all talk
about alerts and automation and having a CMIS to pull all the data from.
And it’s all brilliant stuff. But
often leaves out one big question.
What does this all sit on?
Good quality data capture - It’s not
exciting, there is very little glamour in it, but it has to be done, and it has
to be done right. In my experience we
are being asked not just to capture our own data, but we’re getting an ever
increasing number of requests to take data from an ever increasing number of
sources.
In this series I'll be looking at business demands, basic principles, data capture techniques, data sources and more so catch me again on Wednesday.
