The Totally Groundbreaking Fact: “Data is Important for Businesses”

Let’s pat ourselves on the back for rehashing information we’ve known since the Stone Age. Yes, believe it or not, as per this imbecilic article, we learn that businesses run on data. And wait for it, even the CEO should be actively involved in data initiatives! What a riveting revelation! Here’s a sobering thought: that’s the bare minimum of their job.

Holy Macaroni! DataOps Need Orchestration to Actually, You Know, Work

The person of the hour, Basil Faruqui from BMC (whoever that is), drops another ground-shaker: DataOps needs orchestration for it to function. And in other news, humans need to breathe to live. Here’s a sarcastic slow clap for stating the obvious. Can we not see the irony here? Data projects often don’t materialize because few bother to actually manage and coordinate them, which is like building a car and forgetting to put an engine in it. But of course, only the deep thinkers like Basil seem to grasp this grand insight.

And Here’s My Hot Take, As if Anyone Asked

If we’re going to harp on the significance of data initiatives and the role of the CEO in them, could we at least provide an interesting angle? It’s a cheap play to spotlight the painfully obvious lack of orchestration in DataOps. Worse, it’s equally egregious to present this as some profound insight. Essentially the article thinks it’s smart for saying “To make your data projects work, you have to work on them.” Brilliant. Have we considered that maybe, just maybe, CEOs shouldn’t be praised for merely doing their job? So there you have it, another pedantic piece of journalism that thinks it’s edgy by stating what should be common sense.
