These three barriers are the result of the friction Friction of skills gaps: look for platforms currently being experienced by data workers. that offer self-service access to data preparation, analytics and data science. Multiple tools result in higher 1 maintenance and training costs Friction of productivity: platforms focused on ease of use and automation to improve Manual activities are costing opportunities for success. 2 people time = money Friction of data trust: platforms that Multiple tools and incompatibility implement control and provide end-to-end 3 challenges integration traceability. Business cases for a new tool that reduces friction can be quantified by the cost of data worker failures: the opportunity cost of wasted time.
