Effective decision making in today’s complex and disrupted business environments must be connected, contextual and continuous to drive good outcomes.For the most part, the discussions we often hear when it comes to data is around the use of analytic tools or artificial intelligence. But I argue that there is fundamentally a more pressing issue around data before you get to the point of talking about analytics.We need access to data in real-time. Most businesses are complex networks of interdependent and independent operations that see only a piece of the data and they are happy with that. Leadership isn’t, of course, because as far as the CEO or CFO is concerned, the only way to make accurate decisions is if they have access to clean data in real-time.So how do I make the right data accessible to the person that needs it the most at the time he or she needs it? Do I need to bring together all the data into one physical location, and does that make sense?Speaking to us today on PodChats for FutureCIO is Sumeet Puri, chief technology solutions officer, SOLACE, to talk about the data mesh and how it ties into our need to make good decisions in real-time.1.
