Welcome to the third and final instalment of our data mesh series, in which we’ve previously explained what a data mesh is, and how you might go about implementing one. As a new and somewhat abstract concept, you’ll likely have plenty more questions about the whats, whys and hows of [...]

Data mesh is a new and potentially revolutionary concept in data architecture. As we discussed in the first article in this series, data mesh represents the evolution of the monolithic architectures that are standard today.

The amount of data that we create, capture, copy and consume is increasing exponentially: in the last decade, it has doubled every three years or so. This makes the future management of big data one of the defining challenges for modern organisations, particularly those small to medium scale operations that [...]

Data can be particularly powerful when it is drawn directly from the source.

There’s no doubt about it, the role of IT has changed. Once the department was a part of the back office, keeping network infrastructure running and troubleshooting technical issues.  Now it is the ultimate business enabler.
