Many organizations say data is important, but few can articulate what data actually does to the business. Even fewer manage data with the same seriousness as other intangible assets.
The guest in the opening episode of the third season of the Data Capital podcast is Mikko Merisaari from Functos Oy. The episode explores integrated data accounting and how to make data a visible, manageable and business-supporting asset.
The discussion will explore how to assess the value of data, the difference between valuation and monetization, and why data can be either a competitive advantage or a risk. It will also explore why GDPR compliance alone is no longer enough if the goal is to utilize data in a truly responsible and value-creating way.
This episode is especially suitable for leaders, data professionals, and anyone who wants to understand how data is used to build euros — not problems.
You will hear in the podcast, among other things:
How much does your data really cost?
Data is not just an expense, it is an asset.
How to turn data into a business asset
Data accounting shows the true value of data
What is it about?
Functos' Integrated Data Balance Sheet is a management tool that processes, measures, and manages a company's data like any other intangible asset.
