Calling all data analysts, machine learning engineers, and data scientists! I am working on building some demos and tutorials for machine learning. Of course, I will be sharing everything I do on GitHub. I thought it would be fun to share my input data with all of you before I start and make a little challenge out of this. While not as exciting or lucrative as a Kaggle competition, please feel free to have at it and use whatever techniques and tools you would like to discover any insights and/or make any predictions (even if you do not know anything about baseball). The input data for this cha ..read more

OCDQ Radio is an audio podcast about data quality and its related disciplines, produced and hosted by Jim Harris. This podcast is no longer an active project, meaning not only do I rarely publish a new episode, but its episodes are only available to listen to on this website and no longer distributed on platforms such as Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts.

OCDQ Radio is an audio podcast about data quality and its related disciplines, produced and hosted by Jim Harris. Why does no one care about poor data quality? Because you’re probably measuring data quality without connecting it to your organization’s business processes, applications, or other business uses for enterprise data. During this episode, I discuss how this is accomplished through the implementation of a data governance policy as an executable process comprised of a combination of business rules and data rules that create and track meaningful data quality metrics framed within a rela ..read more

For the last 12 years, a significant source of my income has been freelance writing to create content for company blogs (including not just text, but also audio podcasts and video content). Most of my clients are companies selling products or services related to enterprise data management. From 2009 to today, I have seen a lot of growth in my clients’ understanding that a company blog is a content marketing tool and not a sales tool.
