Data teams are overworked, meanwhile — forced to cater to the needs of disparate departments within an organization while trying to maintain data policies consistently. > That’s the shared thesis of Shirshanka Das and Swaroop Jagadish, at least, the co-founders of Acryl Data, a startup providing tools to help companies organize and ostensibly better manage their data.
