Companies have contended with a deluge of data for years. And while most have not yet found a good way of managing it all, the challenges—diverse data sources, types, and structures and new environments and platforms—have grown ever more complex. At the same time, deriving value from data has become a business imperative, making the consequences of not managing your organization’s data more severe—from lack of critical business insights to the hobbling of AI implementations.

Greater data complexity leads to greater consequences

Data is not only increasing in volume, velocity, and variety, but also the data estate has become increasingly intricate. For years, organizations have struggled with data being sequestered in separate silos within the company. Today, data location adds another layer of complexity, with some of the data on premises, some of it in the cloud, and some of it coming in streams from the edge. By 2025, more than 50% of enterprise-critical data will be created and processed outside the data center or cloud, Gartner analysts estimate. In order to be truly data-driven, organizations realize, they must reach both wider and deeper into their operations, identifying and digesting data and information from various departments and sources.

“Each line of business is driving digital transformation in its own way,” says Naveen Kamat, executive director and CTO of data and AI services at Kyndryl, an IT infrastructure services provider. “They are setting up their own apps in the cloud, which generate data daily. Then there’s web and social media data coming in. The enterprise data estate is becoming much, much bigger; it’s becoming much more complex to manage.”

The insurance industry provides an example of today’s data landscape complexity. One substantial challenge to good data management in insurance is a plethora of legacy systems built up over the years, says Ali Shahkarami, chief data officer at Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS). “That’s especially true for international companies operating across borders with different products, regulatory requirements, and reporting requirements,” he notes. “The ability to do that centrally and in a consistent manner is a big challenge. It impacts everything you build with data and analytics.”

Unfortunately, while data management has become more challenging, data management skills have become harder to come by. The number of skilled data personnel has stayed the same or even dropped over the last decade, even as the number of data and application silos have increased, says Gartner. That means it takes more time than ever to meet integrated data analytics needs.

The consequences for organizations that fail to manage their data effectively and efficiently are becoming dire. For one thing, the cost of inadequate data management is growing. The cost of poor data can be about 20% of revenue, estimated Thomas C. Redman, president of consultancy Data Quality Solutions, in a co-authored MIT Sloan Management Review article.

“Almost all work is plagued by bad data,” write Redman and Thomas H. Davenport. “The salesperson who corrects errors in data received from marketing, the data scientist who spends 80% of his or her time wrangling data, the finance team that spends three-quarters of its time reconciling reports, the decision maker who doesn’t believe the numbers and instructs

SpaceX is targeting Monday, June 12 for Falcon 9’s launch of the Transporter-8 mission to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The 57-minute launch window opens at 2:19 p.m. PT (21:19 UTC). If needed, there is a backup opportunity Tuesday, June 13 with the same window.

The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched NROL-87, NROL-85, SARah-1, SWOT, and four Starlink missions. Following stage separation, Falcon 9 will land on Landing Zone 4 (LZ-4) at Vandenberg Space Force Base.

Transporter-8 is SpaceX’s eighth dedicated smallsat rideshare mission. There will be 72 payloads on this flight, including CubeSats, MicroSats, a re-entry capsule, and orbital transfer vehicles carrying spacecraft to be deployed at a later time.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff.

&ME And Black Coffee Join Forces For ‘The Rapture Pt.III’

The long-awaited ID is finally out there for everyone to enjoy and close their eyes to.

This one is among the sweetest pieces of Electronic music you’ll find this year. It’s nothing new, though: that’s the style of the talented &ME. To my understanding, no one does the pianos quite like him. It’s that blend of soft, emotional piano melodies, and the minimalist Melodic Techno base under it, with just enough elements to make the piano stand out as much as it can. That blend can melt a soul. That very blend can make peace in the world.

It’s that very feeling of peace and unity that comes to me whenever I listen to the song that’s just come out: ‘The Rapture Pt.III‘, by &ME and Black Coffee.

The very eagerly awaited track has been spun by the Keinemusik DJs for a while now, making this piece one of the most requested IDs out there. ‘Pt.III’ marks the end of the The Rapture series, started by &ME around five years ago with ‘The Rapture‘, a defining track for many. Then came ‘Pt.II‘, which also made waves in the industry. This recent ‘Pt.III’ is the first — and allegedly, the only — time &ME has joined forces for the completion of the track. And who better to collaborate with than South African maestro Black Coffee.

The Rapture Pt.III

As is a staple in the series, ‘Pt.III’ is driven by a very subtle kick, evolving white-noise shakers, groovy percussion, a marching synth, and, of course, PIANO, tons of piano. That’s all there is to it. The elements are few, but don’t be deceived, for masters at work know their craft very well and will make the most out of each and every element. The track as is works flawlessly, giving the piano the starring role of defining this song as unique and separating it from the rest of Melodic Techno.

The track really powers itself on and on when listening, even resorting to some teary eyes if you really feel the melody. It truly is an iconic track, and fans and critics alike know it. Just watch it in action!
