Forget the vendors
Are you tired of the vendors?
Conferences, hype, product releases, vendor partners, and salespeople in the comments.
It’s hard to get through a day in the data world without getting pushed a vendor’s product.
That’s why this comment from a recent client stuck out to me:
“Many of the training and development opportunities I've participated in in recent years have focused more exclusively on vendor-driven technical discussions or a more surface-level view of one the topics that was unpacked in depth. I haven't encountered an opportunity that so seamlessly weaves together a data-informed decision-making framework, architecture, and the implementation and governance of teams and processes.”
This is true for my:
We rarely talk about vendors and specific products. Because what you, as a data leader most want and need, are first principles. Foundational ideas that you can build on and apply to your specific use case.
If you are frustrated by vendor-slanted conversations about data platforms, and you want a perspective that isn’t going to push a product, hit reply.
I’m here,
Sawyer
