Today’s guest blog post is from Marcin Chudeusz of DEXT.AI. a company specializing in creating Artificial Intelligence-powered Software for Data Platforms.

Have you ever experienced the frustration of missing crucial pieces in your data puzzle? The feeling of the weight of responsibility on your shoulders when data issues suddenly arise and the entire organization looks to you to save the day? It can be overwhelming, especially when the damage has already been done. In the constantly evolving world of data management, where data warehouses, data lakes, and data lakehouses form the backbone of organizational decision-making, maintaining high-quality data is crucial. Although the challenges of managing data quality in these environments are many, the solutions, while not always straightforward, are within reach.

Data warehouses, data lakes, and lakehouses each encounter their own unique data quality challenges. These challenges range from integrating data from various sources, ensuring consistency, and managing outdated or irrelevant data, to handling the massive volume and variety of unstructured data in data lakes, which makes standardizing, cleaning, and organizing data a daunting task.

Today, I would like to introduce you to Digna, your AI-powered guardian for data quality that’s about to revolutionize the game! Get ready for a journey into the world of modern data management, where every twist and turn holds the promise of seamless insights and transformative efficiency.
