Let’s be honest, the ‘Data Lake’ is one of the latest buzz-words everyone is talking about.

Times are tough – adversity is hitting our public sector and healthcare agencies from every angle. Budgets and resources are stretched beyond breaking point with many agencies facing multi-million real-term cuts. Combine this with an increase in complex demand, heightened public scrutiny and a continued expectation of improvement; something must change.
