Transparency and Confidentiality

Any formal agreements between Data Mesh Understanding and vendors or consulting companies will be made available for your review at this page here. You can see our vendor philosophy here. Financial terms and anything overly sensitive to the other party will be redacted but it’s important for people to know where DMU’s money comes from and if opinions and statements can be trusted. We hope this level of transparency is appreciated by the community and clients.

Any information shared with Scott or any other member of the Data Mesh Understanding team will not be shared with vendors unless you give very explicit permission (your information will also not be shared with anyone unless you specifically opt into sharing it with that person on a case by case basis). This is crucial to community trust and understanding.
