Alan is one of the smartest people that I have ever worked with, and I have the blessing on a daily basis to work side by side with him. We are a team that will take the data industry by storm. Think Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre in the Hip Hop world. Alan is my Solution Architect (SA, a.k.a. my "esse", as I'll refer to him for now on) and I am his partner in crime, enter... Thera, Enterprise Software Sales Professional--writing to you from the greater Los Angeles Area.
I believe that exposing my job title in my first blog post is essential to our success; the authenticity of our conversations moving forward. Sales is my job, and it pays the bills, however... keeping up to date (or ahead) of the data governance and enterprise information management industry including listening, reading, and subscribing to every source possible is essential to our success. My goal is to understand what's top of mind, what's relevant, what's changing today, and where are we going?
A differentiator between Alan and I, and the "typical" software sales team is that we're Gen Ys, and don't take sh*t. We are on the TOP of our game, we sip gin and juice, drop it like it's hot, and leaaaan back.
Kidding aside, Alan is a professional student. Although he graduated from Berkeley a decade ago, I have to believe that he still sleeps with his nose in between book pages, most likely on topics like MDM or data integration. Alan's drive and interest in everything IT, has motivated me to switch to the dark side. The geeky, nerdy... darkside.
We plan to continue to blog a consolidated view of the most relevant topics in the data industry. Follow along, (take naps as needed), as we discuss roadblocks, data internationalization, verticalized business rules, data quality, MDM, data integration, data governance, etc.
