The State of Data Management – Why Data Warehouse Projects Fail

Data is the fuel of our modern world, and its increased proliferation within organizations means that proper data management has never been more critical to success.

More than ever, organizations are investing in data warehouses and data lakes to help them  make the most of their valuable data assets and deliver on the promise of agile analytics and  actionable business insights.

However, the process of identifying and moving data into a data  warehouse or data lake is not always straightforward, all too often inhibiting progress and success.
