Using Data-Centric Approach to Build the Digital Bank of the Future

Published: Sep 29, 2021

Presented at CULytics Solutions Showcase Concentra Bank’s goal is simple—to use Dataware and a data-centric philosophy to build a digital-first bank that enables rapid change, making it easier to meet customers’ needs regardless of what the future holds. Concentra sees Dataware as the key for creating a true one-stop-shop for operational intelligence. This has long been a holy grail for businesses, but it’s proven as elusive and inaccessible as the Grail itself, until now. The real magic here is that Concentra didn't have to dedicate huge amounts of resources to a never-ending project to begin leveraging the benefits of their Dataware. Instead, it evolved naturally over time as they used their Dataware for new projects like their operational management boards, COVID 19 relief fund management, etc.

[Read] What is a Data Fabric?

Published: Feb 17, 2021

Data Fabric is a new approach to data management. It’s called a “fabric” because of this interwoven structure, but it could also be called a true data network, and it is closely related to a graph database. Its approach to handling data is based on the way information is stored in the human brain, using principles like plasticity and continuous reorganization to optimize the connections between points of data and create a more efficient data structure.

[Read] What is Autonomous Data?

Published: Feb 15, 2021

Autonomous data is data that exists independently from any application. It is self-controlled, self-protected, and self-describing. This creates a number of benefits compared to traditional app-dependent data, including the ability to simplify cross-application usage and reporting. However, autonomous data can be very difficult to implement in an integration-based data architecture—because it essentially goes against everything that’s been true about data for the past 40 years.

[Micro-Explainer] Stop being data-driven, be intelligence-driven

Published: Jan 9, 2021

The insight here is that you DO NOT want to become “data-driven”. Your fingers are “data-driven”, your brain provides instructions and they blindly follow. The BORG in Star Trek are “data-driven”, meaning they are under the control of a central ‘collective’ hive-mind. If this was the most efficient design, you and I would not have separate brains.
