In this episode of MY DATA IS BETTER THAN YOURS the host of the
podcast, Jonas Rashedi, is talking to Stephen Brobst, the Chief
Technology Officer (CTO) for Teradata, the connected multi-cloud
data platform for enterprise analytics company. Stephen holds a PhD
from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and an MBA
from Harvard Business School and MIT Sloan School of Management.
Stephen is a TDWI Fellow and has been on the faculty of The Data
Warehousing Institute since 1996. During Barack Obama's first term
he was also appointed to the Presidential Council of Advisors on
Science and Technology (PCAST) in the working group on Networking
and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD). A few
years ago, he was ranked by ExecRank as the #4 CTO in the United
States (behind the CTOs from Amazon.com, Tesla Motors, and Intel)
out of a pool of 10,000+ CTOs. His conclusion: Every government
(and every business) needs a data strategy! Jonas and Stephen talk
about the evolution of Data in the last 10 years. There was a lot
of progress: 10 years ago, companies were building data warehouses
and working on premise, today most innovative companies work in the
cloud and drive their innovations more effectively in the cloud!
And there was also an evolution in the teams, which is why Stephen
sees the need to decentralize, democratize and re-use data in all
lines of business. None the less, for him it’s important that there
is a central monitoring as some kind of “governance”. If there is
no centralization in the decentralization, it’s anarchy! Moreover,
Jonas and Stephen talk about Data products and how to start with an
MVP, how marketeers, data people and the IT can work together and
how goals need to be adjusted so you can save time and effort. In
lots of projects the marketeers and data people behave like crazy
teenagers, having lots of ideas, wanting to start right away and
the IT people are the responsible parents, looking if everything is
secure. To Teradata: https://www.teradata.de To Stephen:
