Cinchy's session at DATAcated Conference with Dan DeMers

Dataware is applicable to all types of industries. From construction to healthcare, government to retail, dataware allows organisations to collaborate, rather than integrate, their data. The systems have universal application to any organisation that is siloing their data and needs to build this pillar of business intelligence into their business.

Dan DeMers, Co-Founder & CEO at Cinchy will share insights on Dataware and Zero-Copy Integration, an emerging framework in data and application management. This approach to building applications eliminates traditional copy-based integration (via ETLs, APIs), enables meaningful access controls that can be universally enforced and greatly enhances data visualization.​ Here's what you'll learn: - Why data integration sucks - What Zero-Copy Integration is - How Dataware and Zero-Copy Integration work - How Dataware delivers data visualization beyond your wildest dreams - The most innovative use cases of Dataware

Published: Feb 9, 2022

How many applications does your business have? How many separate systems are isolating your information? Universally accessible data within your organisation is the future of dataware. The ability to generate, store, and distribute data will transform your business, giving you insight into your performance, reception, and efficiency. Notably, the best way to make this move is to do it in small increments. Whether you're a global enterprise or small organisation, sharing your data from each application and essentially de-siloing your software cannot be implemented all at once. Gradually introducing each new process ensures you can evolve your business from the present to the future.

Published: Feb 7, 2022

How efficiently and quickly are you integrating your data? Are your apps serving your data, or is your data serving your apps? Is your organization suffering from the data trap: when data is attached to each app and managed separately, resulting in numerous copies of data being shared when integration is needed? The purpose of any data solution should be to streamline data management processes; to allow users to access, view and edit the information when and where they need to. When data is unnecessarily copied it not only puts the protection of private data at risk but also makes it difficult to implement data controls.

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.

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. There is a reason we’re not “data-driven” as a species, and for this same reason you wouldn’t want your organization to become data-driven.
