5 Key Takeaways from Managing MadTech Data Complexity: A Data Infrastructure Buyer’s Guide

  1. Federated data architectures are on the rise because they facilitate real-time access to diverse data sources without centralizing storage, thus promoting collaboration and informed decision-making.
  2. The data infrastructure landscape encompasses a mix of cloud and on-premises solutions, each with its own set of advantages and considerations. Organizations must weigh factors like data security, scalability, cost, and IT expertise when deciding between these infrastructure options.
  3. Dismantling data silos is key to enabling personalization and advanced marketing experiences. Data silos not only impede seamless sharing and collaboration but also create inefficiencies in data integration, leading to inaccuracies and inconsistencies.
  4. A data lakehouse is a new approach to storing and processing data that combines the best elements of both data lakes and warehouses. It offers flexibility and scalability, allowing organizations to store vast amounts of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.
  5. In the midst of rampant fines for non-compliance with data privacy regulations, privacy should be top of mind for MadTech leaders. Prioritizing privacy means investing in robust data protection frameworks, implementing privacy-by-design principles, and regularly reviewing and updating policies and procedures.
