Ever felt like the last 10 years in data analytics has resembled a version of The Data & Analytics #Erastour? 🎉📊 Kevin LoboWe saw passing trends in: Decentralization: When business users were empowered to create their own data solutions, which did bring quick time to value for many orgs but led to huge redundancies and technical debt.Big Data: Which told companies to collecting huge amounts of data, but often resulted in just storing it without much use.Modern Data Stack: Which emphasizes modularity, microservices, and concepts like Headless BI, Data Mesh, and Data Fabric.Which brings us to the present: will the industry finally shift its focus to long-lasting solutions? What do you think?
