LP How to Design a Good Data Platform (Awareness)
Our Vision
I have been Head of Business Intelligence for 10 years at 5 different conglomerates. Then I went into consulting, doing Interim Head of Data gigs at over 20 scale-ups. What have I learned? Data is the most valuable commodity a company has after its employees, of course.
Working closely with hundreds of founders, managers, and CEOs made me realize that successful leaders understand 3 important data concepts:
- It is never too early to start using data – time is a precious resource. I have seen companies of 10 scaling to 1 million by using data to drive their decisions.
- Get it right the first time – too often we were called to fix a data project that went nowhere after 6 months. Get the best experts to do the job for you.
- Automate – avoid Excel and copy-pasting data. Your time is far too valuable for it, and manually pasting data is prone to mistakes.
Managing data does not have to cost a fortune and our proven experience with building SageData has proven that any company can have the best tools and practices to manage data and make smart decisions!
