Data discovery
Many organizations treat data like an organizational asset, meaning it is no longer the property of individual departments. You want to analyze all types of data to drive actionable insights, be prepared for the unexpected, create new revenue streams, improve customer experience, and increase operational efficiencies.
The data discovery process consists of a number of interactive sessions with various stakeholders within an organization. Sometimes this starts with an initial session to identify new ways to extract value from your data, while at other times, it could be with a specific use-case around what you want to do. You can go straight into identifying key people and diving deep to gather the information that is need in order to determine your best possible solution.
In either case, the end goal is to maximize the value you get from the data and identify appropriate next steps. This includes how you plan to consume data, what data sources you have and how to ingest that data, and then potentially what types of transformations you may need for the data.
