Post-pandemic is fairly nebulous and can stretch from now to infinity 🙂 My guess is that this follows on - "Gartner Says 70% of Organizations Will Shift Their Focus From Big to Small and Wide Data By 2025".

Research produced by Gartner is always pretty deep and thorough (so much so that sometimes I think it drives the industry) and I have no reason to argue against the identified trend, though I find 70% to be on a high side. The shift is also conditional on many things, like AI/ML capabilities to reason over smaller data sets.

Does anyone have experience in implementing master data and reference data systems in a multi-market stock exchange with an off the shelf MDM system?
