Episode notes
Disaggregation Behind A Unified Experience
- The market is simultaneously disaggregating technical components and demanding unified user experiences.
- Vendors must stitch multiple best-of-breed parts into a single logical pane for business users.
Metadata Is The Missing Standard
- The industry lacks a common metadata standard, creating interoperability pain across tools.
- This metadata gap blocks context layers and forces vendors to build bespoke integrations.
