In part one of this article, we discussed how data testing can specifically test a data object (e.g., table, column, metadata) at one particular point in the data pipeline. While this technique is practical for in-database verifications – as tests are embedded directly in their data modeling efforts – it is tedious and time-consuming when end-to-end data […]
Data Bias in AI – Can We Beat Evolution Using Technology?
Is there data bias in your business? Recent research indicates that 65% of business and IT executives believe there is currently data bias in their organization, 13% of businesses are currently addressing data bias, and 78% believe data bias will become a bigger concern as AI/ML use increases. What this indicates is that businesses and organizations simultaneously worry […]
Cloud Architecture Mistakes: Organizations Need Shorter Mean Time to Recovery
A common complaint about cloud computing is that the costs of operating in the cloud can get very expensive. In this five-part series, I’ve examined the costly cloud architecture mistakes organizations often make that contribute to those costs, and how an independent cloud platform can solve those problems. Part one explained how organizations can quickly […]
How Organizations Can Create Successful Process Automation Strategies
Process automation continues to gain momentum across industries. The 2023 State of Process Orchestration report found that 96% of IT decision-makers consider it critical to their digital transformation goals, and in a 2022 Gartner survey, 80% of executives believed that automation can be applied to any business decision. Still, not all automation projects proceed as planned. The same […]
Understanding the Importance of Identity and Access Management in Data Protection
Companies today use a range of systems to transfer and store data, perform tasks, and, most importantly, manage their customers and staff members. With so many online and offline factors, good cybersecurity is a must. That’s where identity and access management (IAM) comes in to organize user identities and determine who accesses what. It’s an […]
Leveraging AI and Automation to Streamline Clinical Trial Data Management
Clinical trials are critical in developing and approving new medical treatments and technologies. These trials generate massive data that needs to be managed efficiently and accurately to ensure patient safety and successful research outcomes. The good news is that advances in AI and automation technology, such as AI-based data extraction, virtual clinical trials, and predictive analytics, […]
Adopting an Edge-to-Cloud Approach
Back in 2009, there was an enterprise technology with a lot of promise. But adoption, marred by questions about security and reliability, lagged. That technology – cloud computing – is now a $600 billion market. Edge computing technology has followed a similar trajectory to the cloud. It, too, was met with early cynicism and slow […]
AI and Privacy: Navigating the Intersection of Technology and Personal Data
The rapid adoption of generative AI in the business world is transforming the way we work and improving our ability to engage with customers, streamline internal processes, and drive cost savings while introducing unprecedented challenges to the protection of individual privacy.

OLTP Database Solutions for Today’s Transactions
Online transaction processing (OLTP) enables rapid, accurate data processing for most of today’s business transactions, such as through ATMs, online banking, e-commerce, and other types of daily services. With OLTP, the common, defining characteristic of any transaction is its atomicity, or indivisibility. A transaction either succeeds as a whole, fails, or is canceled. It cannot […]
Myth-Busting Cloud Repatriation: The Misunderstood Trend in Cloud Computing
