Why data transformation does not start with software

Five decisions to make before choosing a platform.

Buying a platform is an execution decision. Data transformation starts by clarifying the business decisions that matter.

Before choosing technology

Define who makes the decision, which data is required, the baseline, how quality is measured and what change creates economic value.

Without those answers, a new platform often rebuilds the same ambiguity with newer technology.

Start correctly

Choose one bounded but important area. Define the problem, owner, measure and action loop—then select technology.
