Data Piloting Myths

Don’t let outdated beliefs or doubt hold your business back.

Myth 1: Data Piloting is Just Rebranded Data Governance

Vokse Data Piloting is far more than traditional data governance. It’s an integrated, real-time platform combining governance, quality control, observability, lineage tracking, and compliance automation, offering an end-to-end data management solution.

Myth 2: Data Piloting Is Too Complex to Implement

With a plug-and-play architecture, Vokse Data Piloting integrates smoothly into existing data ecosystems, making implementation fast and straightforward for organizations of all sizes.

Myth 3: Data Piloting Only Benefits Large Enterprises

Vokse is scalable and adaptable, offering value to organizations of any size, ensuring real-time governance and compliance without heavy resource burdens, making it accessible to even small and mid-sized businesses.

Myth 4: Data Piloting Is Only About Automation

Vokse balances automation with human oversight, offering real-time insights and dashboards for teams to monitor data processes and act quickly if needed.

Myth 5: Data Piloting Is Only Focused on Compliance

Since Vokse Data Piloting automates compliance with regulations like GDPR, KYC, FATCA, and others, some assume that its primary purpose is to serve as a compliance tool and nothing more.

While compliance automation is an important aspect of Vokse, it’s far from the platform’s only function. Vokse Data Piloting is designed to deliver  business value by ensuring that data is accurate and readily available for decision-making. It not only keeps you compliant but also improves data quality, provides real-time lineage tracking, and offers insights into data performance and health.

By automating these processes, Vokse helps organisations use data to drive growth, innovation, and improved operational efficiency, rather than just meeting regulatory requirements.

Myth 6: Data Piloting Can’t Handle AI and Advanced Analytics

Vokse supports complex AI and analytics workflows, ensuring clean and accurate data feeds into models, improving decision-making accuracy and reducing the risks of flawed insights.

Myth 7: Data Piloting Doesn’t Provide Enough Customization

Vokse offers high customization, allowing businesses to adapt the platform to their specific workflows, compliance needs, and business goals.

Myth 8: Data Piloting is Just Improved Lineage

While data lineage is a key component, Vokse Data Piloting goes beyond tracking data movement. It ensures full transparency and control over data quality, compliance, and governance in real time, empowering teams to make quick, data-driven decisions. Vokse delivers proactive insights into data health, facilitating immediate intervention and preventing issues before they escalate.

Myth 9: Data Piloting Doesn’t Improve Data Literacy

One of the strengths of Vokse is its ability to make data accessible and understandable across the organization. By providing intuitive dashboards and real-time insights, it helps demystify complex data concepts, making it easier for non-technical users to engage with data. This fosters a data-driven culture, where employees across departments can confidently use data for decision-making, improving overall data literacy.

Myth 10: Data Piloting Doesn’t Help with Data Acculturation and Utilization

Vokse Data Piloting plays a pivotal role in driving data acculturation, helping organizations create a culture that embraces data as a core asset. The platform makes it easier for all stakeholders—whether in marketing, finance, or operations—to understand and utilize data in their everyday tasks. Vokse transforms data from a siloed resource into a collaborative asset, aligning data strategies with business objectives and encouraging widespread data utilization across departments.

Myth 11: Data Piloting is Only for Data and IT Teams

Vokse is designed to be cross-functional. While data and IT teams benefit from its governance and technical functionalities, its reporting, data contract, intuitive interface and AI assistant make it a powerful tool for business teams as well. Marketing, operations, finance, and HR departments can all leverage Vokse to access accurate, real-time data, enabling data-driven decision-making across the organization. 

Myth 12: Data Piloting’s Business Value Can’t Be Measured

Vokse’s business value is tangible and measurable. By automating manual tasks like compliance monitoring, data quality checks, and reporting, Vokse saves time and reduces operational costs. Additionally, by improving data accuracy, the platform enhances decision-making, leading to better business outcomes. Vokse can also track and report on key performance indicators (KPIs) related to data governance, compliance, and data utilization, providing clear metrics to measure its ROI. This allows organizations to see the financial and operational impact of their data strategies in real time.

Myth 13: Data Piloting Won’t Work Because I Already Have Data Technology in Place

Vokse Data Piloting is designed to work alongside your existing data technologies, not replace them. It seamlessly integrates with your current data stack, enhancing your existing tools rather than requiring a full overhaul. Instead of spending valuable time and resources on making complex integrations work, Vokse automates and streamlines these processes, allowing data teams to focus on delivering business value.

By automating tasks like data quality checks, governance, and compliance monitoring, Vokse enables data teams to shift their attention from maintenance and troubleshooting to higher-value activities like driving data-driven insights and innovation. This means that your current technologies remain in place, while Vokse improves their efficiency and unlocks the full potential of your data infrastructure, helping you achieve better outcomes without the burden of complex manual integrations.

Myth 14: Metadata-Centric Data Governance and Pre-Production Monitoring is Sufficient

Many believe that focusing on metadata-centric governance, lineage tracking, quality checks, and compliance in pre-production environments is enough to ensure data health and integrity. They argue that managing data governance before production eliminates the need for real-time interventions.

Holistic governance is important, limiting oversight to pre-production environments overlooks the dynamic nature of data in live, operational settings. Vokse Data Piloting takes a real-time, production-focused approach, allowing organizations to detect and address risks, anomalies, and compliance issues as they arise in real-world scenarios. By continuously monitoring production data, Vokse ensures that risks are mitigated before they can impact business operations, a level of agility that traditional, pre-production-focused governance cannot provide. Anyone insisting otherwise is rooted in outdated beliefs that fail to account for the fast-paced demands of modern data environments.

Myth 15: Data Piloting on Production Data Will Impact Performance

Some believe that real-time Data Piloting on production data will slow down system performance, making it impractical for high-traffic environments or critical operations.

Vokse is designed with performance in mind, leveraging advanced architecture that minimizes any impact on live systems. It uses efficient, non-intrusive methods to observe, track, and govern data without slowing down production environments. This allows businesses to maintain optimal performance while ensuring that data remains trustworthy, compliant, and actionable in real time. With Vokse, CDOs and data teams can have full visibility and control over their production data without compromising system speed or user experience.

Myth 16: Data Piloting Requires a Copy of My Data in the Cloud

Some organizations are concerned that adopting Vokse Data Piloting means their data will be copied to the cloud, raising concerns about security, control, and compliance.

This is a misconception. Vokse Data Piloting does not create or require a copy of your data to be stored in the cloud. Whether your data resides in the cloud, on-premise, or in a hybrid environment, it remains where it is. You have full control over how and when your data is accessed, and for what purposes. Vokse ensures that only metadata, logs, and operational insights are shared for governance and monitoring purposes. With advanced encryption protocols and security measures in place, Vokse guarantees compliance with the most stringent industry standards, including GDPR, HIPAA, and others, ensuring that your data remains secure and private at all times.

Myth 17: Data Piloting Requires Me to clean and Migrate Complex Excel Sheets to an Enterprise Database First

Many assume that adopting Vokse Data Piloting means they’ll need to clean up and migrate all their Excel sheets, PDFs, CSVs, and other unstructured data into an enterprise database before they can start.

Vokse Data Piloting works natively with your existing Excel files, PDFs, CSVs, and unstructured data. There’s no need to change or migrate them first. However, if you want to, Vokse’s Extraction module can automatically convert your unstructured data into a structured, relational database, simplifying your transition without the manual effort.

Myth 18: Data Piloting is for Later, After My SAP ERP Migration

Many think they can only use Vokse after completing their SAP ERP migrations, believing it’s a post-transformation solution.

Vokse is used to accelerate, automate and de-risk critical migrations (ERP, CRM, PIM…) by ensuring that only trusted, clean data is migrated at scale. It then actively pilots your new data, identifying and resolving potential risks, quality issues, and compliance gaps in real-time, streamlining the entire migration process and improving post-migration performance. There’s no need to wait; Vokse can optimize your migration journey from the start.
