"...data teams end up spending 80% of their time cleaning and preparing messy exports from operational systems. It's wasted energy. Instead, let the operational domain publish clear standardized business events like order shipped. If the facts are clean at the source, there is no need to clean them later."
Your data team is spending up to 80% of their time just cleaning data. Let that sink in.
It's a massive waste of energy and talent, turning highly skilled analysts into digital janitors. This endless cycle of cleaning messy exports is a symptom of a deeper problem: capturing data incorrectly at the source.
The solution is simple but powerful: let the operational domains publish clean, standardized business events from the very beginning. If the facts are clean at the source, there's nothing to clean later.
Watch the full video for a masterclass in improving data quality at the source and empowering your data teams.
