[ Eps. 25 ] Everything You Need to Know About Dark Data

Before any fruit and vegetables are sold in supermarkets, they are first harvested from various farms and orchards. Then, they are sorted into their respective categories, cleaned to remove any bacteria and soil, and packaged uniformly during the preparation stage. Finally, depending on store orders, they are sent out to various locations. In the data analytics world, raw data goes through a similar process before it can be analyzed and reported on — and this is where ETL comes in.  There are three main steps in the ETL process — Extract, Transform, and Load.  Together, they work to prepare your raw data for analysis and reporting.

In the food industry, quality control ensures that the meat, bread, and other edible items reaching you are of the best quality. Companies use various ways to manage this, from developing fixed product formulations to standardizing manufacturing processes. By following these procedures, the quality of food is kept consistent and reliable for the consumers. In the same way, companies also need to manage and control the quality of their data. This has become increasingly important due to the enormous amount of data that’s become available and accessible in the recent decade. As a company’s datasets grow, it’s critical to ensure that they are consistent and accurate for analyses and insights. After all, data-driven decisions are only as good as the data itself. With datasets regarding customers, finance, operations, and sales comprising the core of most organizations, Data Quality and Data Quality Management only become more vital. In this three-part series, we’ll be covering what Data Quality is, what Data Quality Management is, as well as why both are important.

ETL is defined as a method or process of extracting, transforming, and loading raw data from various sources into a single and centralized location. These can be data warehouses or other centralized data storage systems. In the data analytics world, raw data goes through a similar process before it can be analyzed and reported — and this is where ETL comes in. So, let’s take a look at what ETL means.

What do you do when you outgrow your reporting system? Meet Farmer X. They’re a manufacturer and distributor of organic foods. However, over the last decade, Farmer X experienced a huge sales growth — this was not so great for their reporting system, which was all completed on cloud-based spreadsheet applications. With the Cubeware Cockpit, Farmer X was able to complete analyses and generate reports — both planned and ad-hoc — with swift accuracy, detail, flexibility, and transparency.  Not only did this free up Farmer X’s budget, resources, and time from manual reporting, but the employees of Farmer X were finally able to focus on bringing their visualizations to life.

What do people mean when they refer to Dark Data? And how is Dark Data different from regular data?  Almost everything we do involves data —we’re either generating it or receiving it, whether we’re aware of it or not. And this adds up to, well, a lot of data — and to no one’s surprise, a lot of it is left unused.  In short, Dark Data refers to the data that we often collect but do not use, especially for Business Intelligence purposes.  Often times, Dark Data is what leads to businesses experiencing the DRIP syndrome, which stands for Data Rich, Information Poor. This happens when companies gather a lot of data but don't have the tools in place to turn it into valuable information.  Well, we’ve got a lot to cover so let’s dive into more detail as to what Dark Data is and what its advantages and disadvantages are.
