Tony Baer is the founding principal of dbInsight LLC, which you can find at https://dbinsight.io. The goal of dbInsight is to provide independent counsel to data and analytics technology providers navigating a changing world where cloud deployment, artificial intelligence, and data are upending their client's expectations. Baer is an authority on how cloud-native architecture can transform traditional on-premise data platforms, and how it can be used to break down data and application silos. dbInsight delivers counsel to vendors and publishes independent research that is available through partners. Baer is capitalizing on a decade of thought leadership at Ovum where he created two new research practices , and was one of Ovum's most visible analysts. He reaches tens of thousands of followers as part of the Big on Data blogging team at ZDNet, along with his Twitter and LinkedIn blogging feeds. Among his accomplishments, Baer created and defined the emerging "Fast Data" market segment, focusing on real-time analytics on data at scale. He pioneered research calling for emergent approaches to data governance and data quality that are now being embraced by data integration tool vendors.
