Are data infrastructures ready to deliver insights at the speed of thought—or, for that matter, at the speed of an AI prompt? For decades, batch processing was the mode of data delivery—and organizations built their analytical environments in which information was several hours, or maybe a day, old. Then, as the digital economy evolved, certain parts of the data infrastructure moved to near real time, meaning results to queries were delivered within a half-hour to several hours.

In many environments, there is a quiet compromise that gets made every day. It rarely shows up in project plans or architecture diagrams. No one formally approves it. But it happens, nonetheless. "Good enough" SQL gets promoted to production.

For years, manual ways to process DataOps—which Gartner defines as a collaborative data management practice focused on improving the communication, integration, and automation of data flows between data managers and data consumers across an organization—were tolerated as an unavoidable part of working with data. Scripts were crafted by hand, deployments relied on checklists, and governance lived in documents and in architecture review meetings. When something broke, teams fixed it manually and moved on. That approach worked until the stakes changed.

As AI agents move into real-world enterprise use, the challenge is no longer just building models, it is building the data foundation that allows those systems to understand context, retain memory, and act.
Posted June 09, 2026
With the growing deployment of AI agents, these tools are exposing a flaw in observability: To cut costs, teams routinely filter or offload the very data those systems depend on. Without full historical context to validate outputs and understand patterns, AI performance degrades, and teams aren't understanding why. The limiting factor for enterprise AI isn't just the AI model—it's also the data platform underneath it.

Self-service analytics promises faster answers, yet many organizations end up with conflicting dashboards, duplicated or leaky data, and renewed reliance on IT. The issue is not control versus flexibility, its delivering governed, analytics-ready data that supports secure independent exploration and consistent reporting.

AI adoption is accelerating, but results are falling short, according to new DBTA research that will be released soon. Fewer than half of AI initiatives succeed, and most pilots never reach production. What's more, AI failures are expensive, with 36% costing more than $500K and 16% exceeding $1M. The root cause is clear: data and the gaps in quality, access, trust, and lineage that continue to limit outcomes and prevent AI from scaling. This is not a new problem; it is an unsolved one.

Most people will watch the NFL draft for the picks, the trades, and the storylines. I see it as a data event. My hometown, Pittsburgh, hosted between 500,000 and 700,000 people across a dense downtown footprint shaped by three rivers, limited bridges, and infrastructure that already runs close to capacity. For a few days, there was almost no margin for error. A familiar system became a real-time operational test.
