ABOUT
What’s DataNext Trust all about??
Having reliable & trustworthy data is vital to the success of every organisation - without it all data projects & initiatives will be doomed to fail, before they have even started. Putting in place effective data quality, governance & observability standards builds organisational trust in data.
“Bad data is a bad decision you don’t yet know about” - DataNext Trust will deep dive into the key topics that organisations must consider to build trust in data & how to create a platform to gain a competitive advantage from data initiatives.
