The next challenge in data is rapidly becoming clear: how can we scale data value and bring data driven decision making to everyone? We’ve made tremendous progress in bringing data together. The megatrends in data - data mesh, data fabric, modern data stack - are all about crossing the last mile to get data to everyone, not just the data experts. How can we empower everyone to better use data? Are the megatrends the road to actually scaling data value? And what does that mean for the data teams and data engineers creating systems and delivering dataops?
Subscribing to Your Critical Data Supply Chain - Getting Value from True Data...DATAVERSITY
Operational Data Governance is more than a stewardship process for critical Business Assets. As organizations build structure around KPI’s and other critical data, a workflow develops that revolves around the sources and supply chain for that critical data. There can be many aspects to changes and inconsistencies affecting the final results of the supply chain. Inaccurate usage of data can result in audit penalties as well as erroneous report summaries and conclusions.
Is it coming from the correct authoritative source? Has the data been profiled? Has it met it’s threshold?
Gaps in the supply chain from incorrect pathways may lead dead ends or lost sources.
The value of understanding the entire supply chain cannot be overstated. When changes occur at and point, end users can validate that correct business standards, rules and policies have been applied to the critical data within the supply chain. Your organization can rest easy that you are not at risk for exposure due to improper usage, security, and compliance.
Join this webinar to uncover how companies are using data lineage to accomplish data supply chain transparency. You’ll also see the direct value clear data lineage can give to your business and IT landscape today.

How to Begin Making “Data-Driven Decisions" Using Data IntegrationSafe Software
If you’re in the corporate world, chances are you’ve heard this phrase in the last year: “we need to make data-driven decisions.” It’s a simple phrase but often complicated to implement as it involves identifying KPIs, collecting the measurable data, analyzing the data for facts, and turning the insights into actions that will grow your business.
So how exactly do you start the process of “data-driven decisions” when there is data everywhere – data of all different kinds and in all different locations? The task can sound downright daunting or even impossible.
Our ability to freely share and use data is too often plagued with interoperability challenges. Data integration is the key to alleviating this problem. Put simply, data integration helps different systems and formats work together. The ultimate goal is to generate valuable and usable information to help solve problems and gain new insights, a.k.a. data-driven decisions!
In this webinar, learn how data integration can be used in any and all industries. And see how the workflows increase communication between departments, provide better customer service, streamline operations, improve decision making, and overall increase productivity.

Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.

10. Our Platform
Data from 31 different public data sources — including difficult
data on crop productivity, access to irrigation facilities, local
infrastructure, soil conditions, and more — was sourced from our
data repository.
The data was matched and aggregated in a single data set with
our entity recognition engine, which finds and corrects errors. The
data set was then transformed into district-level indices on
economy, crop productivity, female empowerment, and more.
The data and indices were visualized on an interactive
dashboard with geo-clustering, district-level comparisons,
advanced geographic queries, and detailed drill downs.

Access
Our data goes through
extensive verification and
cleaning before being added to
Access.
Data from everywhere
Data was sourced from PDF files, web
pages, text files, images, and Excel files in
the most obscure corners of the internet.
Data triangulation
Complex algorithms were used to match
data across many disparate, inconsistent
data sets, all to zoom in on the right data
points.
Trustworthy data
Every data set was cleaned, checked for
completeness and accuracy, and
prioritized based on its relevance.
16. Data Cleaning
1 2 3 4
After all the data was
aggregated, it was cleaned
and verified on Transform.
Transform
Consistency checks
Includes intra-variable checks (checking
each variable for incorrect values) and
inter-variable checks (ensuring that data
across variables and geographies is
consistent).
Data quality assurance
All other checks needed to ensure
complete accuracy, including vertical
aggregations, missing value checks, and
external validations.
Geographic aggregation
Each data point needed to be matched with
the correct district (using a master list of
geographic standards), then all the data for
each district had to be merged into a single
data set.
17. Score Creation
1 2 3 4
For easier insights, a score
was calculated for each of
the 9 layers (crop productivity and
coverage, livestock services, etc.)
in each district.
The score provides a simple way
to…
assess the status of each
topic in a given district
quickly compare each layer
across multiple districts

24. India has a problem with
high infant mortality rates.
Can we tackle that through agricultural investments?
25. India has a pulse problem. While the production of rice and wheat has
grown consistently since Independence, pulse production has stagnated.
This has contributed to severe undernourishment, since rice and wheat are
less nutrient-rich than pulses. By increasing pulse production, agricultural
families’ nourishment improves as they can add more pulses to their diet.
(“Pulse” refers to dried peas, beans, lentils, chickpeas, and other legumes.)

26. Why are pulses less common?
Pulse cultivation requires more water than rice or wheat.
Efficient pulse production needs a
good irrigation system.
