Quest Software Podcast: The Democratisation of Data: Episode 4: In Data We Trust?

Welcome to the fourth and final podcast in this series, The Democratisation of Data.

In this final podcast, we are considering how to build a data-first culture across your business. And even with a single view of truth, why is data often still mistrusted by its users? What is driving this behaviour? How can businesses combat this and create a culture where data is trusted and used to base sound business decisions upon?
