MAD Insight

Measuring churn against contracts up for renewal is most accurate

“Churned revenues are the revenues over the things that were up for renewal. Now, in theory, that's the most accurate claim. That's the most accurate metric, because if something wasn't for renewal, then you can't really say that it churned, right?”

MAD Opinion

Organizations must require analytical labeling to clarify data context

“We've got to kind of figure out analytical labeling, right? That it's, that's not accept enough, good enough for us to kind of accept information that's proffered to us without understanding how that information was produced, where that information came from, …”

MAD Opinion

The tech industry is far from using blockchain for enterprise data provenance

“I think we're far away from that because most of the tools have very different ways of manipulating data and very different ways of speaking to data.”

MAD Assertion Not checkable as stated

Legacy data warehouse projects historically took up to two years

“To stand up a business object's universe and cube in a Teradata warehouse, or a Netezza warehouse, or whatever warehouse could take anything on the order of two years, right?”
