Very good, important overview of the state of the current status of women and the career outlook for women in the BI and data-management industries. It seems to me we have made little progress recently. The anecdotes illustrate the many structural inequalities that still exist in the workplace.
The idea of commoditization of a software solution space marking the debut of OSS options works fine, but it doesn’t mean that OSS will be a successful option for all solution domains. MDM for many enterprises requires sophisticated and well-defined software capabilities that support many areas including the data management practices, processes, and roles of people that must be handled well to achieve success with MDM initiatives.
