Don’t Miss This CAF Podcast with Brice Ominiski and Dave McComb : Is Your IT Strategy Failing? Here’s the Data-Centric Shift You Need

Most enterprises aren’t built for the future—they're built for the past.

For decades, we’ve built IT around applications—each with its data model, leading to silos, inefficiencies, and costly integration nightmares. Meanwhile, the speed of AI, data-driven decision-making, and digital transformation demands an entirely new approach.

In my conversation with Dave McComb, author of The Data-Centric Revolution, we discussed why the future belongs to data-centric architectures—where data isn’t trapped in apps but becomes the foundation of business agility.

🔹 Why today’s IT strategy is broken—and how to fix it
🔹 How to extend legacy systems without massive rewrites
🔹 Why graph databases & AI-ready data models unlock competitive advantage
🔹 How to future-proof IT architectures for continuous innovation

🚨 If you’re a CIO, CTO, or enterprise leader, you can’t afford to ignore this shift.
