Barr Moses

CEO & Co-Founder of Data/Analytics startup backed by top Silicon Valley investors

USA, Monte Carlo

Making Data Downtime a Pillar of Your Data Strategy

Barr will introduce the concept of “data downtime” — periods of time when data is partial, erroneous, missing or otherwise inaccurate. Data downtime is highly costly for organizations, yet is often addressed ad hoc. She’ll discuss why data downtime matters to the data industry and tactics best-in-class organizations use to address it — including org structure, culture, and technology.
