Apple snaps up location data firm Locationary to improve Maps

While the complaints around Apple’s Map application have died down — after a rocky debut where results were hilariously inaccurate, and being one-upped by an official Google Maps iOS app — the company’s inexperience in the mapping field still poses a problem.

That’s something Apple is likely hoping to fix with its acquisition of Locationary, a company that helps businesses manage their local data across multiple sites through an online platform. The company also provides a simple way for others to get access to that clean local data.

Truth Before Meaning
LinkedIn
March 13, 2020
From my perspective Data is about determining the truth. Analytics is about deriving meaning. I would suggest that most Data experts already know this. They support it. They understand it. They believe it. In fact, no Data expert I have ever met thinks Data does not begat more value when it is properly used in analytics.

Mastering MDM is mandatory for digital transformation success
Information Management
January 04, 2019
Digital Transformation can mean a lot of different things to different people. But for everyone it means dealing with more data than ever before.

Industry 4.0, cloud, robotics, “big data,” artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain and similar technological advancements are changing the very nature of commerce across every business sector in every market. The one constant in all this disruption is data. To embark on a digital transformation journey that data needs to be mastered. Master data is the vital difference between scaling or failing in this time of business disruption and non-stop data.

How to Improve Supplier Information Management: Part 3 - Understanding the Power of Master Data Starts with the 4Cs
Basware
May 14, 2018
Organizations around the world face the relentless challenge of managing their data. The first step to gaining control is the standardization of data to optimize its use across the enterprise. Businesses need to create a common view of information about their most important business relationships: specifically, suppliers, vendors, partners, customers, and prospects. If this data is not managed effectively and trusted by your organization, you could be making flawed decisions based on incomplete or inaccurate information. After all, good decisions made on bad data are just bad decisions you don’t know about yet.

The Dearth of Master Data is the Inconvenient Truth
LinkedIn
November 16, 2017
You will find that your future holds a reality where data is everywhere, business relationships multiply, and everything assumes a programmatic manner and feel. But while this may seem like the epitome of progress, the inconvenient truth is that your commercial data infrastructure simply isn’t ready to support these coming changes. The melting ice caps of legacy models are raising the water levels of data management, and many established companies are seeing their strategies flooded with new challenges.

We are now back on standard time. Most of us in the United States moved our clocks an hour earlier this weekend (some geographic outliers still exist). Like me, many of you got to sleep a little later, relishing that lovely gift of an “extra hour” or, more accurately, the return of that hour stolen from us last March when we sprung forward.

What strikes me this morning is the curious irony in the terminology. In a given year, we are actually on non-standard time longer than standard time. With 238 days on daylight saving time and only 127 days on standard time, nearly two-thirds of the year is now non-standard. That begs the question: what is standard anyway?

5 Steps to Accepting You Have a Master Data Problem
Dun & Bradstreet
January 03, 2017
Common Reactions to Data Challenges
As we turn the calendar to a New Year, most of us are resolved to improve our health: eat better, exercise more, quit smoking, etc., you know the drill. While I have no personal advice for you, I do want you to think about the health of your business, specifically the health of your business data. Data is the lifeblood of your processes. Unhealthy data leads to stagnant workflows, siloed thinking, and ultimately, bad decisions. If your data is sick, your business is sick. Sure, you can still make sales, attract audiences, manage risk and stay compliant, but think of all the extra effort that it takes when your data is not one hundred percent accurate. It’s almost like if your company, metaphorically speaking, was huffing and puffing as it climbed a few flights of stairs. You made it, but it hurts.

Keep it simple, seriously! That’s my twist on the old KISS adage. As business people we do tend to lean towards complication, weaving in multiple layers of intricacy, but that doesn’t mean we are stupid. Why assume your listener is stupid? I think that’s dumb.

Seriously though, keep it simple, seriously. And you must remember this, a KISS is just a KISS, as Sam would eventually play again, the fundamental things apply as time goes by. As time goes by in your business how many of those fundamental things do you apply? Can you really KISS?

Organisations need a standardised way to connect their data sources with a master data framework at the core of their business operations.

The sheer volume and velocity of data available can be overwhelming for the modern enterprise – it’s almost impossible to maintain the vast number of data sources. But in today’s data-driven world, information can be an organisation’s most valuable asset if it is harnessed, integrated and managed in a structured way.

The exponentially increasing volume, variety and velocity of data, coupled with the advent of GDPR, has thrust data and analytics at the centre of the digital transformation agenda for most modern enterprises. In the context of Cloud, AI, Machine Learning, Robotics among many other emerging

maintain competitive advantage. But none of this is possible without a foundational data capability; the CDO is uniquely positioned to unite business, IT
and data science to implement a holistic, value-orientated roadmap that will align data exploitation with business objectives.
In this session, Scott Taylor will explore how organisations can survive the data revolution:
· Leveraging common data and syndicated processes to remove organisational silos and foster an integrated enterprise

Finding your way out of the B2B data management escape room and the role of MDM
Riversand
December 17, 2019
B2B organizations have been caught in a data management squeeze for too long. They know they need to be data-driven to create the personalized, real-time experiences modern B2B customers expect – but they also have low confidence in the quality of the customer data they manage and their ability to solve the problem. The proliferation of AI-powered applications across the martech and salestech ecosystem offer the promise of meeting the demands of today’s buyers – but the advancements they offer in decisioning and next-best-action automation will be available only to those organizations that finally find a way out of the data management escape room. In this webinar, Forrester analyst Steve Casey will provide an overview of the market trends driving the need for advanced data management solutions and Consultant Scott Taylor will talk about the crucial role MDM will play to address these trends and go beyond.

Setting Your Data in Motion - Why Fluidity is the Goal to Master Data
Dun & Bradstreet
November 09, 2016
Master data and its management (commonly referred to as
MDM) is a constant challenge across multiple industries and
ecosystems. The bigger the enterprise the more inputs and
variables must to be managed. Master data enables the
movement of information, insight, analytics and knowledge
seamlessly across your enterprise. It can literally carry other
data from system to system allowing it to be transferred in a
consistent manner. Without it, all of those independent
activities become and remain siloed; separated by incongruent
definitions and incompatible structures.
