All data architects should consider themselves change agents for the organizations in which they work. But at the same time, business also wants to keep much the same. Such discoveries can be confusing when business is saying that change is desired, but their actions seem focused on preventing change. It can suggest the Albert Einstein quote (or the Baba Ram Dass quote, based on which version of history one subscribes to) that "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."

As the world of data analytics continues to evolve and reshape after a tumultuous 2020, the need for agility is rapidly driving a new era in data culture in which it is imperative to handle data immediately and at scale.

Today, the idea of picking up the phone to call a travel agent to plan out a vacation seems archaic. It used to be that everyone used a travel agent, but nowadays it's an occupation that caters mainly to the wealthy. Yet there was something about it that was uniquely valuable, something that the legions of vacation-planning websites and travel-booking apps—powered by oceans of data and cutting-edge algorithms—haven't been able to fully replicate.

Conventional data management systems are fundamentally ill-suited for the world of data as it exists today. These systems, based with few exceptions on the relational data model, are broken because they integrate based on data location at the storage layer.
