What is Wrong With Digital Transformation in 2019?
It’s hard to believe that 2019 has come and gone. Over the course of this year, we have seen a new government in Alberta, a minority government in Ottawa, and the most divided country since the days of Pierre Elliott Trudeau. We are also dealing with the longest recession of most peoples’ lifetime in Western Canada since the Great Depression.
Spaghetti Approach to Digital Transformation
All these factors are contributing to the spaghetti approach to Digital Transformation that we are seeing today. Let’s move and copy all of our data to the cloud - that will solve everything. Or, let’s invest millions in evolving technology and partner with the big 3 tech vendors and hope magic will happen.
The result? High expense and minimal results. Companies engaging in the spaghetti approach end up spending millions of dollars and may receive only thousands of dollars in benefit, if anything at all. We know this model isn’t profitable and gains as much traction as undercooked spaghetti when it hits the wall: almost none.
There is No Magic Pill When It Comes to Digital Transformation
Digital transformation, like many initiatives, cannot be bought off the shelf. You have to do the work. It is a process with experienced professionals using technologies to get your organization data aware and healthy.
To achieve a successful outcome requires investment and knowledgeable data people. You need a proven approach with experienced people to lead the way. Let’s avoid the spaghetti approach of throwing technology against the wall and hoping it sticks.

Automated Version Pruning in Spotfire: How We Solved Database Bloat
Over time, Spotfire environments tend to collect thousands of dashboard versions. Each time a developer saves or publishes a change, a new version is stored in the Spotfire Library. While this behavior helps preserve change history, it also leads to an uncontrolled build-up of redundant versions.For this client, years of development had caused the library to expand beyond manageable levels. The database was growing rapidly, backups took longer, and performance started to degrade. Searching or deploying dashboards became slower, and IT teams struggled to keep up with maintenance. The excess data also translated directly into higher storage and operational costs.In short, what started as a useful feature, version tracking, had turned into a serious infrastructure challenge.
