1334: Datavox: Turning Unstructured Data into Business Gold with Father of Data Warehousing Bill Inmon

What this episode covers

It’s wild how much information businesses collect, only to let it sit there gathering digital dust. Reports, feedback, emails—tons of it just float around, never really touched or understood. And while the numbers get all the attention, the actual words people use—their thoughts, complaints, ideas—stay locked away in messy files and forgotten databases. It’s like having a map to hidden treasure but refusing to read it because it’s not in the format you're used to. Meanwhile, big decisions get made with only half the picture in view. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiCAm6GE5ZI Bill Inmon, once a pro golfer, is now a legend in the tech world for his work in data and AI.
