From Liability to Asset: Meet the Experts Helping Enterprises Leverage Data to Its Fullest Potential
Do you know where your most critical data is stored? You may think that’s another department’s job. However, many organizations face the problem of every team pointing their fingers at another team, so no one truly owns the management of this data. “If you talk to different security teams and ask them where their intellectual property lives, they’ll likely say IT knows where that information is. Then, if you went to the IT team, they may point the finger back at security," said HaystackID Managing Director Kevin Golas, citing a recent study that found 62% of security pros don't know where their sensitive data is.
Keeping your client's data secure is critical. Get tips from the HaystackID Global Advisory team on proper data management and maintaining data security and integrity.
The Makings of a Synchronized, Customer-Driven Approach to Product Strategy
Many companies race to innovate and be the “first” to solve a hairy challenge for their customers with new products or technologies. The all too common but detrimental issue is that they often do so without conducting thorough due diligence. Prioritizing quick development over careful planning and research is a fast track to failure, especially with 34% of small businesses closing their doors due to a lack of proper product-market fit.
“Companies face intense pressure to innovate and push boundaries, but when you do that too often and quickly, you have half-baked products. They’re essentially vaporware,” said Aaron Pribil, Product Manager, HaystackID. “HaystackID has a unique approach to product development, one rooted in helping solve our client’s complex data challenges.” Get key insights from Pribil on how thorough planning, stakeholder alignment, and continuous client feedback play a key role in developing products that truly make an impact.
