Create an image of a futuristic cityscape at sunset, with a combination of flying cars, towering skyscrapers, and lush green rooftop gardens. The sky should be a mix of warm colors, with a touch of purple and pink hues. In the foreground, include a group of people from diverse backgrounds, wearing high-tech clothing, admiring the view and taking selfies with their holographic devices.

Introduction

You heavily invested in modernizing your data landscape.

Not only, you successfully incorporated recent data from various sources into your analytical landscape and channeled extensive exertion into standardizing and harmonizing everything into a flexible schema. All of this through an automated pipeline — with data quality built-in!

Moreover, you have collaborated with the business and created a business-oriented information model enabling people to comprehend the data they’re looking at. Let’s now fill up that data mart. Presto!

As you reach the end of your journey, the anticipation of uncorking an expensive bottle of champagne is imminent. You achieved the pinnacle of success in transforming data into tangible “business value.”

Hold on! It appears we overlooked an important aspect — while we successfully ingested and transformed the data, the product owner started to furiously nag us about exposing this data to “real consumers.”

“Without consumption, no value,” he sneers.
