As businesses collect more data than ever, the question arises: is bigger always better? Companies are beginning to question whether massive datasets and complex infrastructures are truly delivering results or just adding unnecessary costs. How can you align your data strategy with your actual needs? Could focusing on smaller, more manageable datasets improve efficiency and save resources while still delivering valuable insights?
