VIDEO | Why should you consider buy versus build with MDM?    “When we come to build versus buy, I’ve just never seen build be utterly successful because you don’t know what initiative you’re going to face six months from now, let alone years down the line. Having a vendor who is on top of what’s going in the market and evolving the product roadmap is immensely valuable...”    In the latest episode of our MDM series with Stibo Systems, Chris Colyar and Nils Erik Pedersen dive into one of the hottest debates in master data management: build vs buy.   Is building your own MDM solution the right move?     Or is investing in a proven vendor platform the smarter choice? 🤔    In this discussion they cover: ↳ The pros and cons of building MDM in-house versus buying a vendor solution   ↳ The importance of a dedicated MDM software platform for data governance and business success ↳ Why partnering with experienced vendors and leveraging their roadmaps ensures long-term MDM success. ↳ The value of choosing the right integrator and ensuring alignment with business outcomes    Don’t miss out, watch the full episode here ▶ https://lnkd.in/eM9hSUS6 #MasterDataManagement #MDM

PODCAST | This week our Chief Innovation Officer Michael Evans joined Juan Sequeda and Tim Gasper on data.world's hugely popular Catalog & Cocktails podcast to talk all things active metadata. 🍸 When asked if all organizations can benefit from active metadata approach, Mike's response was clear - "I think I'll go a straight yes". Throughout the discussion, the team discuss the huge benefits of active metadata management on data quality, inter departmental collaboration, compliance and decision-making. They also explore how active metadtaa can help ensure data consistency, reduce operational inefficiencies across an organization and provide AI systems with accurate, context-rich data. When asked who is responsible for active metadata management, Mike was once again clear: "If there is accountability, an interest and desire to do something with active metadata to begin with, that is way more important than deciding who is responsible for it..."

  I've had an awesome week in the UK visiting our Amplifi (Europe) team with Josh Chin from our partners at Source Capital.   There is a TON of amazing work going on across the pond and it's been great to map out our strategic plan going into 2025 and beyond with Sam Goss and his team.    I haven't taken a trip to the UK in a little while and I'm always reminded how special the global nature of our team is when I visit. Thanks to ALL the Amplifiers who I've connected with over meetings, lunch, dinner, darts and cocktails during the trip. You're all so great and hugely valuable to the innovative work we're doing to help people turn the volume up on their data.   Until next time...which I promise won't be as long this time!   CM-
