The Benefits of Having a Single Source of Truth

<p>A single pane of glass, customer 360, a single source of truth. These are all common ways of saying that there is one curated data repository from which all data consumers will get the perspective of the organization through data, reporting, and analytics. A single source of truth is paramount to an effective data-driven enterprise organization. Every organization should strive to have both data lake storage and query ability, as well as a curated well-structure data warehouse for consistent executive and operational reporting.</p>

Okay, maybe more like drowning in it! The amount of information collected by a business can truly be overwhelming 😵 (especially when you’re trying to make sense of it all). </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You might be using a combination of 50+ different platforms across departments, some of which collect information that might be valuable to more than one department, and maybe even some that have information that’s useful to everyone. You might even be using software that keeps track of things you need to share with external users. So, if not everyone has access to each and every source they need access to, you can see how this could be a pretty big problem. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And what about if you want to look into third-party data and compare it with some of your own? Maybe you want to see if the weather affected your sales, or if a certain area is suitable for a new brick and mortar location, in terms of adequately reaching your target market (I know, I’m mostly making marketing points here, but I can’t help it 🤭). </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All of this data floating around all over the place can be a real pain in the 🍑</span></p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-d213827 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="d213827" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">What Now? 🤷‍♀️</h2> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-16f6b87 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="16f6b87" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is why you need to bring it all together into a single source of truth for the entire organization (we recommend a magical place called </span><a href="https://signup.snowflake.com/?owner=SPN-PID-126628" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Snowflake</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> ❄).
