Companies are facing a challenge in managing data effectively: balancing the freedom of open data systems with the control needed for security and efficiency.
Nextdata's CEO, Zhamak Dehghani, proposes a solution called the "hourglass model" which aims to simplify complex data management by standardizing the middle layer of the data system.
This approach would ensure seamless integration while providing a consistent interface for various data applications and sources.
Dehghani believes that this model can create a more flexible and resilient data system for businesses to thrive in the future.
