The concept of cost-plus dates back to the earliest manufacturing days. You could call it a historical view of pricing strategy. But so much has changed since those first Model T's rolled off the assembly line. The ubiquitous nature of machine readable data is one force; the power of AI is another; the complexity and abundance of supply chains is yet another. Add it all together, and you've got a renaissance in pricing! Find out more on this special episode of DM Radio as Host @eric_kavanagh interviews Pascal Yammine and Barrett Thompson of Zilliant, and Lou Simon of Uptima Elevate.

Today's successful enterprises know that data products are crucial. And the data lakehouse is increasingly viewed as the best of both worlds: combining the speed and accuracy of a data warehouse, with the size and scope of a data lake. But there has been one missing ingredient: a low-code solution for building platform-agnostic pipelines.

Check out this episode of DM Radio to learn from renowned Analyst Merv Adrian, who will deliver a presentation on the evolution of data. He'll be joined by Databricks Guru Simon Whitely of Advancing Analytics, and Raj Bains, CEO of Prophecy.io.

Drinking from the data firehose? Welcome to the party! Luckily, a whole host of solutions have been rolled out to address the size, scale and scope of data movement projects. Yes, the cloud data warehouse is a common target, but what about all those other systems? Reverse ETL is now taking hold, as companies look for ways to hydrate their systems with the enriched data.

Another alternative is data virtualization, a discipline that seeks to dynamically provision data access where and when it's needed. Though not new, there are some new tricks of the trade that make it more viable than ever. Check out this episode of DM Radio to learn more! Host @eric_kavanagh will interview several experts, including Rick Sherman of Athena IT Solutions, Nick Golovin of Data Virtuality, and Taylor McGrath of Rivery.io.

The concept of a data mesh has gained traction in recent years as a way to enable data democratization and decentralization in organizations. A data mesh approach ideally calls for building a data fabric that provides a unified view of all data sources in an organization. The fabric serves as a foundation for the data mesh, enabling data teams to develop and operate their own data products and services independently. But how close are we to genuinely pulling this off?
