Episode: Continuous Data Quality Monitoring with Gangesh Ganesan

Episode Summary: Is continuous data quality monitoring a myth? Not so fast. That is according to Gangesh Ganesan, Founder & CEO of PeerNova. Traditional data quality monitoring requires data to be in a repository and data quality platforms apply certain business rules to measure the data quality. And the exceptions are referred back to the data sources/owners to fix the exceptions. PeerNova’s Cuneiform solution, with its origins in data security & networking, applies a no-code approach to solving the measurement and monitoring problem. Additionally, Gangesh talked to us about measuring the business impact of the exceptions that are identified. With a technologist background, Gangesh got an opportunity to switch to the business side when the company he was working for decided to spinoff a division. After a couple of iterations, Gangesh sold his previous company to Qualcomm. And the he embarked on the data quality journey with special focus on financial institutions.

Topics discussed in this episode:

1:30: PeerNova is a SaaS company focused on data quality monitoring. Focused on quantitative measurement of quality of data. Data does not have to be in a central repository for PeerNova solution to do its job.

4:00: One of the earliest use cases is monitoring the data quality in stock settlements on the wall street. Settlement use cases. Data quality plays a big factor in settling trades and financial instruments.. This involves multiple parties and data quality is important to accurately settle the trades..

9:20: No-code approach is the best way to including business users in monitoring data quality. Otherwise it becomes an IT function’s problem.

13:00: Peernova journey has been going on for 7 years. With the observation that data quality problem is actually a data lineage problem across the network, a blockchain approach seemed relevant. Actually, financial institutions helped Peernova connect with other parties for much bigger impact.

18:20 (Headliner) Gangesh’s entrepreneurial journey. Started with Bosch. Had an opportunity to buy a division being sold off and sell it. Another similar opportunity and sold the next company to Qualcomm.
