Mark Christie writes about the evolving demands placed on modern data infrastructure, especially as organizations approach critical periods like year-end. His work explores how reporting cycles, regulatory requirements and rapid AI adoption create pressure on data systems that were never designed for today’s scale, speed and complexity.

By reading Mark’s stories, you’ll gain practical insight into challenges such as data sprawl, the hidden costs of maintaining legacy platforms and the risks of poorly planned system retirement. He focuses on strategies to rationalize data estates, improve resilience and support AI initiatives without disrupting core operations, helping technology and business leaders align their data infrastructure with long-term growth.
