In this podcast, Henry Eckerson interviews Dave Wells on the current health and future of the data warehouse. Wells acknowledges that data warehouses are struggling, but argues they are still necessary and cannot be replaced by data lakes. He then explains what the role of the modern data warehouse should be, practical steps forward for evolving the data warehouse, and much more.

Wells is an advisory consultant, educator, and industry analyst dedicated to building meaningful connections throughout the path from data to business value. He works at the intersection of information management and business management, driving business impact through analytics, business intelligence, and active data management. More than forty years of information systems experience combined with over ten years of business management give him a unique perspective about the connections among business, information, data, and technology. Knowledge sharing and skill building are Dave’s passions, carried out through consulting, speaking, teaching, and writing. 

He is now the practice director of data management at Eckerson Group, cofounder and director of education at eLearningCurve, and a faculty member at The Data Warehousing Institute.
