(US and Canada) Subodh Kumar, Chief Data Officer, World Vision International, speaks with Savio Rodrigues, Trianz VP of Client Membership and CDO Magazine Editorial Board Member, about modern data and analytics platforms and the organizational approach to adopting a new data analytics solution.

Kumar is currently focused on modernizing data management and the analytics platform in the organization. He has completed a pilot using an AI/ML-based platform for data ingestion and transformation that applies data science tools. He says that this will help the organization move from a traditional warehouse concept to a lake house building a data fabric. Kumar also wants to integrate data silos to tell the organization’s story.

He mentions his desire to move away from platforms and tools dependent on IT, and move toward natural language tools that are easier for businesses to use.

Regarding his approach to choosing a new data and analytics platform, Kumar says that no one particular tool is enough to meet an organization’s needs. Kumar wants to enhance the organization’s analytical capability to answer all questions. And, he wants to look for a data analytics platform that can also support building data literacy in the organization and make it future-proof.

Sharing his strategy for measuring success with these platforms, Kumar says that, while the cost definitely matters, it is not a primary factor. He affirms that the key driver is the business value derived from the tools and their adaptability to the business users.
