Warning: Shameless Blue Margin plug ahead. A lot of companies get stuck trying to decide whether to manage their data platform in-house or outsource it. Here’s the reality, building and maintaining a stable, secure data platform is a different skill set than analyzing data. And if your data team is spending more time fixing pipelines than solving business problems, you’ve got a bottleneck. I’ve seen it over and over: Companies hire a rockstar to build the platform, but that person doesn’t want to maintain it. Data analysts get pulled into infrastructure work instead of delivering insights. Security, disaster recovery, and troubleshooting become an afterthought—until something breaks. Outsourcing takes all of that off your plate. Instead of hoping your team can juggle everything, you get a group of specialists who handle the infrastructure, security, and maintenance, while your analysts focus on what actually moves the business forward. And if you’re worried about losing control, you can still run your platform on your cloud while outsourcing management. Best of both worlds. At some point, every growing company has to make this call. If you’ve been through it, what was your experience? #DataStrategy #BusinessIntelligence #DataManagement

‘We just need a simple revenue report.’ Famous last words. Every time we help a client define revenue, we uncover layers of complexity: trade discounts, quantity rebates, time-based adjustments, and more. What looks like an easy metric often requires deep business rule alignment. Your data is only as useful as the thought behind it. Rushing a report without defining the rules leads to misleading insights. At Blue Margin, we specialize in turning ‘simple’ requests into reliable, strategic data solutions. Because making decisions on bad data is worse than having no data at all. #BI #DataQuality

Virtually every CEO I talk with has AI-enablement on their mind. It's not just another tech trend. It's rapidly becoming table stakes for running a competitive business. At @BlueMargin, a big focus this year has been on AI-enabling our business. Here’s how we’ve approached it: Efficiency First: Using tools like ChatGPT and Claude to speed up tasks and improve quality. Empowering Our Team: Every employee has access to multiple AI tools and training, helping them build proficiency that’s now critical in today’s market. Customer-Centric Value: Clients expect innovation, and we’re using AI to meet—and exceed—those expectations to deliver ever increasing value. The result? Not just improved processes, but an empowered team that’s embracing this new era. My takeaway: AI is transforming how we work. And the winners (both companies and individual employees) will be those who learn to leverage it effectively. If your company isn’t leveraging these tools yet, it’s worth thinking about what?incremental steps you can?take to get started. How are you or your team using AI to innovate? I’d sincerely like to hear.

A CFO, a CEO, and a head of sales walk into a meeting... and they all have different definitions of revenue. We’ve seen it happen: One leader defines revenue based on posted transactions. Another accounts for discounts only when a payment is received. A third factors in estimated rebates. Who’s right? If leadership teams aren’t aligned on revenue reporting, they’re making decisions based on different realities. And that’s a big problem. At Blue Margin, we help businesses clarify metrics so they can act with confidence. Because data isn’t just about numbers, it’s about alignment. #DataDrivenLeadership #RevenueAlignment
