Maximising Data ROI: Agile Solutions for Real Business Challenges

In our latest podcast, Kubrick’s Director of Data and AI, Lawrence Freeman, sits down with Adrian Estala, Data Product CDO at Starburst, to explore how businesses can unlock the full potential of their data with Starburst’s open hybrid Lakehouse and how Kubrick’s expertise is accelerating adoption.

💡 Key takeaways from the episode:

🔹 Speed matters. Starburst helps businesses access and query data instantly—no need for costly, time-consuming migrations. Whether data is on-prem, in the cloud, or across multiple environments, Starburst provides a single point of access for fast, actionable insights.

🔹 Solutions must serve both architects and business teams. Too often, data solutions focus only on the technical challenge. Adrian and Lawrence discuss the importance of aligning technical capabilities with business objectives to maximise impact.

🔹 The power of partnership. Starburst delivers the technology to unify data, while Kubrick provides the technical expertise and agility to implement solutions rapidly—ensuring businesses don’t just have access to data, but can drive real value from it.

🔹 An agile approach is critical. The old way of doing data—migrating everything to a single cloud provider before unlocking value—simply isn’t fast enough. Businesses need a solution that works across all infrastructures. Starburst’s open hybrid lakehouse makes this possible, allowing teams to build scalable, high-impact data products with speed and flexibility.If you’re looking to transform your data strategy and make smarter, faster decisions, this episode is a must-listen. 🎧#Kubrick #Starburst #DataStrategy #DataEngineering #Cloud #AI #DataDriven
