Conclusions (15 of 15 Data, data everywhere and not a bit to use)

In my last blog I mentioned how difficult it can be to get data and that is often the reality.You may have to make the best of the data that’s already being generated.

So I conclude with a few ground rules to remember:

Be flexible - You will have to take the data from whatever already exists.

Stand Your Ground - Don’t make work for yourself, you don’t have the staff. Make others deliver the data, you keep it.

Introduce APM/BTM tools - The typical missing element. APM tools provide really valuable data to you and the business.

Centralise the data -  At capture time. Keep your data in one tool, that way you can be an expert on that not a jack of all trades.

Know your cloud strategy - Cloud is happening.  Make sure you know what types are coming your way  and get in early with requirements.
