The noble effort to build a “data-centric” culture is really a journey, not a destination. With that perspective, we can understand that no matter how good a given environment seems to be –especially compared to whatever existed before – there’s always room for enhancement. As more technologies, strategies, and disciplines emerge, the ongoing evolution ensures constant improvement. And by the way, we’re not even close to real data-centricity yet, but at least we’re getting closer. The growing discipline around data mesh architectures represents a perfect milestone in this endless odyssey. There’s progress here, for sure, but it’s just as important to keep looking ahead.
