1990sValuable data was being generated but was really living in silo’d environments. The term MDM was not even coined till 2003As long as you could connect different systems together via a nightly, or sometimes even a weekly feed, that was pretty darn awesome!Technologies like ESBs, EAIs, ETLs… flourished.Data was mostly structured. Sitting in RDBMS systems2000sNetwork speeds increasedCosts went downPlayers like Salesforce and NetSuite started getting traction from SMB marketImmense value on cost and agilityFlexibility of to subscribe vs. perpetual licenses2005: Consumer / Social dataFB, Twitter, LinkedIn, amazon.com consumer reviews…Humans generating massive amounts of preference data, likes and dislikes, Data was different: Non-relational unstructured.
