Session 4: The Data Cookbook – Deliver Full-featured Data Intelligence in a Pragmatic and Affordable Solution

The Data Cookbook was designed from the beginning to provide everything you need to create data literacy without breaking the bank.  Originally built for the budgets of higher education institutions and non-profit organizations, it is our goal to provide the value of the Data Cookbook to all types of organizations.

Session 5: The 3 Must-Haves for Every Data Catalog

Do these questions sound familiar?

• What does this data represent?
• Where is this data coming from?
• Who is responsible for this data?
• How can I use this data?
• Why is it taking me so long to get answers to these questions so I can effectively use the data?

They probably do, and that’s why you’ve decided to start your journey to find the perfect data catalog for your organization.

But what capabilities are critical to ensuring that a data catalog can help them answer these questions independently and enable them to maximize the value of data? Join Octopai’s demo of its self-creating and self-updating data catalog to find out the answer.
