There is an established body of practice around creating, managing, and accessing OLAP data (known as “cubes”). Data Lakes. There has been a lot of talk over the past year or two in the D365F&SCM world about “data lakes.” There are virtually no rules about what such data looks like. It is unstructured.

Organizations are collecting and storing vast amounts of structured and unstructured data like reports, whitepapers, and research documents. By consolidating this information, analysts can discover and integrate data from across the organization, creating valuable data products based on a unified dataset.

I previously wrote about the importance of open table formats to the evolution of data lakes into data lakehouses. The concept of the data lake was initially proposed as a single environment where data could be combined from multiple sources to be stored and processed to enable analysis by multiple users for multiple purposes.

As a result, users can easily find what they need, and organizations avoid the operational and cost burdens of storing unneeded or duplicate data copies. Newer data lakes are highly scalable and can ingest structured and semi-structured data along with unstructured data like text, images, video, and audio.

I aim to outline pragmatic strategies to elevate data quality into an enterprise-wide capability. However, even the most sophisticated models and platforms can be undone by a single point of failure: poor data quality. This challenge remains deceptively overlooked despite its profound impact on strategy and execution.
