NEW BLOG: Discover how Kroger is leveraging data mesh and data fabric to unlock data value. Your favorite grocery chain, Kroger, used data mesh and data fabric to get you better shopping experiences. Using Alation together with Databricks, Kroger has created a common language around data, with standardized governance and SLAs for products, as well as automated data profiling, classification, and access control. So how does this help? "Unity Catalog is used to govern data access and security, making data available in different technologies. Alation brings metadata to the table for self-service data access through features like the Business Glossary, wiki pages, and additional context about the data beyond just the structure and location. This enables more efficient decision-making across the organization." — Nate Sylvester, VP of Architecture at 84.51˚.

Don't miss Joseph Stanhope's and Forrester's latest blog on the inaugural Customer Data Platforms (CDP) Wave report, released earlier this week. Joe discusses how CDPs have dramatically advanced in 2024, now empowering marketers through enhanced customer profiles, lifecycle management, and scalable features like custom integrations and data governance. The blog underscores Forrester's and Joe's recommendation for marketers to strategically utilize CDPs to boost customer engagement, as vendors work to further evolve these platforms to tackle future challenges in journey orchestration and customer experience. Reflecting on the CDP market's evolution, Joe notes, "This victory is hard-fought; both vendors and buyers have earned recognition for their relentless efforts and ongoing investments that have propelled the category." Since 2011, Treasure Data has been at the forefront of this category, exemplifying that "Playing The Long Game Pays Off." **CDP World Keynote Speaker ** Joe is a keynote speaker at CDP World by Treasure Data in Vegas next month, kicking off day 2, October 16th.
