“ The systems that are running really well, in a lot of organizations, why would they rip out and then go down the path of data products? Because, the problem with data products is it's also a cultural issue. It's a mindshift and you have to think from a completely different long-term point of view. We are so used to – in IT – somebody gives me a problem, I'm like, ‘Yes, I got it. I'll solve it for you.’ Then you move on to the next problem. With data products, it's a mindset shift.” – Sanjeev Mohan
