A couple of years ago, we started working with a fortune 100 retail company in the US. They had invested 100's of millions of dollars towards data management with no measurable ROI. Basic questions like "how many customers do I have?" were not answered accurately; marketing and personalization was being driven by low quality data that was a week old; frustrated marketing teams created their own shadow solutions to address their team's needs.
If this sounds familiar to you, you are not alone. 80% of data modernization initiatives failed to deliver positive ROI for companies which in some cases have invested over $500M to solve this problem (McKinsey). Data today is HARD. The biggest reason for this is complexity:
The end result: years spent addressing symptoms of data complexity instead of the disease.
To quote the American anthropologist Joseph A. Tainter, "…in the evolution of a society, continued investment in complexity as a problem-solving strategy yields a declining marginal return". This applies to data just as it applies to society in general.
We founded The Modern Data Company because we believe that data
