Sub-headline: Oil gets burned once. Data compounds—or rots. The truth is, Data Isn’t the New Oil. That Lie Is Costing Europe Billions. The message that Data Isn’t the New Oil. That Lie Is Costing Europe Billions. is one that businesses and policy makers cannot afford to ignore. The difference is your strategy for data analytics, BI, and AI, built on a sovereign cloud architecture.
Stop Worshipping Volume; Start Pricing Usefulness
The metaphor “data is the new oil” has led to a misguided obsession with hoarding information. The truth is, its worth is determined by the quality of its curation and the incentives that govern its lifecycle. Turning raw data into profit requires a professional services partner capable of building BI, DWH automation, data analytics, or AI systems that create value from information assets.

12. More data is not better data.
We are drowning in information but starved for wisdom. This junk data is an inflation tax on your analytics, corrupting models and leading to flawed decisions. Quality, not quantity, is the true multiplier of productivity. Our professional services focus on building BI and DWH automation systems that start with a solid foundation of clean, reliable data, ensuring your AI and data analytics initiatives are built for success.
13. Data value is contextual, not inherent.
The value of data is determined by the problem it solves. This is why centralized data strategies often fail. A more effective approach is empowering users with the right tools. As your professional services partner, Insight42 helps you build the data analytics platforms that connect the right data to the right users at the right time.
14. Most “data strategies” fail because nobody can answer: “Who profits if this works?”
If the people creating and maintaining data don’t have a clear reason to do so, the data will be poor quality. A successful data strategy aligns the incentives of data producers with data consumers. When we engage in building a BI, DWH, or AI solution, we start by defining the business value and aligning incentives to ensure project success.
15. If data isn’t productized, it’s just digital clutter.
To unlock the true value of data, it must be treated as a product. This means clear ownership, SLAs, and version control. Without this product-oriented mindset, your data lake becomes a swamp. Insight42’s approach to building data analytics platforms is to treat every dataset as a product, with a clear lifecycle and purpose.
Property Rights for the Digital Age
The concept of property rights is the foundation of a free society. In the digital age, we must extend this to personal data, which requires robust security and a rights-first approach to technology, from your core infrastructure to your mobile end-to-end applications.

16. Personal data is not a corporate resource; it’s a delegated privilege.
Personal data is a reflection of an individual’s identity. A rights-first approach to data governance is not only ethical; it’s good for business. Our services for optimizing security ensure that your data handling practices build the trust essential for long-term customer relationships.
17. Consent without usability is theater.
Endless pages of legal jargon are not meaningful consent. This is a design problem. When building mobile end-to-end applications or customer-facing portals, we focus on creating intuitive interfaces that empower users to make informed decisions about their data.
18. Data minimization is security and cost control.
The best way to protect data is to not have it. Collecting data “just in case” increases breach risk and cloud storage costs. Our cloud migration and data strategy services emphasize data minimization as a core principle for optimizing security and controlling expenses.
19. Auditability is the new credibility.
In a world of deepfakes, proving the provenance and lineage of data is the new standard of credibility. A verifiable audit trail is essential. For ultimate trust, we can help you explore blockchain solutions to create an immutable, transparent record of your data’s lifecycle.
Data Spaces That Create Growth, Not Committees
Europe’s ambition for a single market for data is worthy, but it must be decentralized and business-friendly. This requires a modern approach to building their cloud and data architectures.

20. Federation beats centralization for Europe.
A centralized approach to data sharing is a non-starter. A federated model, where data remains under the owner’s control, is the only viable path. Our expertise in building cloud architectures can help you design a federated data strategy that respects sovereignty and minimizes risk.
21. Standards are economic infrastructure.
The digital economy must be built on a common standard of data exchange. When we undertake a cloud migration or build a new data analytics platform, we use open standards and APIs to ensure your systems are interoperable and future-proof.
22. Trust frameworks must be lighter than the value they unlock.
If compliance costs exceed the benefits, markets fail. The frameworks governing data spaces must be business-friendly. Insight42 helps you navigate these regulations, ensuring your AI and data analytics projects remain innovative and profitable.
