Episode 14: DataOps is Good Business
<p>DataOps Is Good Business: Breaking Data Silos, Building Trust, and Preparing for AIErik Boemanns interviews Simon Yost on episode 14 of the E.B. Spoke podcast about DataOps as a practical operating model that, like DevOps, breaks down silos and turns analytics into a competitive advantage. They discuss how broken dashboards and surprise metrics become business costs when data is split across departments, and argue most companies have a data integration problem rather than a data problem. Examples include disconnects between marketing analytics and operational systems (even detecting website outages), and how unconnected data can mislead key metrics like customer lifetime value and acquisition costs. They emphasize tools don’t create trust—process, shared definitions (data dictionaries), and dedicated stewardship do—often via audits/gap assessments and a data fabric approach. They also cover Simon’s background, fractional consulting at the intersection of DataOps, data engineering, and AI, and the need to slow down to speed up while avoiding security/regulatory pitfalls.</p><p>00:00 Why Data Delays Hurt</p><p>00:24 DataOps Meets DevOps</p><p>00:50 From Firefighting to Flow</p><p>01:29 Invest in Data Foundations</p><p>02:09 One Off Spreadsheets Trap</p><p>02:50 Where Data Silos Form</p><p>03:36 Meet Simon Yost</p><p>04:56 Marketing vs Ops Disconnect</p><p>07:52 Lifecycle Pain and CLV</p><p>11:05 Unifying Data Patch to AI</p><p>12:25 Audits and the Brain Trust</p><p>13:48 Data Fabric Done Right</p><p>14:52 Warehouses Lakes Fabric</p><p>15:23 Open Source Data Stack</p><p>15:53 Data Dictionary Language</p><p>17:52 Owning Customer Definitions</p><p>19:11 Why Teams Can't Fix It</p><p>21:39 Slow Down To Speed Up</p><p>22:19 Regulation Changes Everything</p><p>24:41 AI Fear And Culture</p><p>26:16 Fractional Help And MVPs</p><p>27:59 From Prototype To Scale</p><p>29:23 Final Takeaway And Wrap</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to E.
