We recently put this together based on what we’re seeing across a number of AI projects. A common pattern is that it’s not the model that’s holding things back, it’s the structure and quality of the data underneath. If the foundation isn’t consistent and well organised, AI outputs become hard to trust. This piece goes into that in a bit more detail, including where approaches like Data Vault can help create a more reliable base for AI in a lakehouse setup. Interested to hear if this aligns with what others are seeing or if you’ve tackled it differently. https://ignition-data.com/resources/data-intelligence-series/your-data-architecture-is-holding-your-ai-back

The July issue of Data Vault Insider – our bi-monthly newsletter packed with Data Vault resources, tips and new – is now out. In this issue, we are unpacking one of the most misunderstood topics in Data Vault implementation: parallel loading. Nols Eberson breaks it down in plain terms (with a great “bus lane” analogy to boot). You’ll also find: >> A case study from RESIMAC on simplifying Data Vault delivery >> Two in-depth demos on how to automate Data Vault on Microsoft Azure >> A full rundown of the new Certified Data Vault 2.1 Practitioner course and what’s changed Check it out here: https://ignition-data.com/data-vault-insider-july-2025 If you would like to get Data Vault Insider directly into your inbox going forward, you can subscribe here: https://ignition-data.com/data-vault-insider-newsletter

The next DV Q&A is here, Nols explains how to manage conflicting business definitions for the same concept. Enjoy. Please send though any questions you woudl like answered in the chat. https://youtu.be/SjPXMj47ckY?si=U_NAupB3bm5HKtz-

Another Q&A with Nols, this one on what it really means to load a Data Vault in parallel. If you have any questions you woudl like Nols to answer please put them in the comments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34Cmv_uKnDY

Are you thinking about using MS Fabric? In this Webinar Alex shows me how we can use IRiS to build a Data Vault on Fabric. With more organizations getting Fabric as part of their Azure subscription this is becoming relevant for many. This is the 3rd webinar in our series focusing on Data Vault on Azure, the others can be found on the IRiS website. https://youtu.be/JH63v7oTjdI?si=dyNMlBQnwVqmtiGL
