September News from FSFP

OAKLAND, Calif., Sept. 13, 2023 — Each month, First San Francisco Partners’ newsletter features updates about its data management consulting business, with links to new blog posts, case studies, industry events and more.

Here’s our September 2023 newsletter. If you’re not a subscriber to FSFP’s monthly newsletter, we welcome you to opt in.

Much to Learn, More to Look Forward To!

Kelle O'Neal, Founder and CEO, First San Francisco Partners

As I introduce this month’s newsletter, I am appreciating the warmth of September, our best summer month! Have you had a chance to enjoy play and work over the last few months? I hope so! We’ve followed this advice and enjoyed some vacation, but we worked to bring you a must-read newsletter.

Our team curated diverse, informative articles and case studies to support our ongoing pursuit to bring you helpful content directly from our data industry experiences and client engagements.

First, Data Governance Analyst Dave McDermott shares insights from the last Data Governance & Information Quality (DGIQ) Conference. You’ll enjoy his thought-provoking and informative commentary as he reviews his learnings.

Please don’t stop reading there: We are bringing you two new case studies!

Perhaps some of my favorite articles are from the “Meet the Team” series, which provides a glimpse into our inner workings and the talented team that makes us who we are. This month, you’ll meet Nellie McBride. Whether providing client support, sharing her industry expertise, or helping lead the FSFP team, Nellie works tirelessly to exceed clients’ expectations. You’ll have fun learning about her!

Finally, we had an overwhelming response to our recent ERP Fireside Chat. Those who prefer the “cliff notes” version can check out the shorter version on our YouTube channel that summarizes the most meaningful takeaways from the full-length presentation. Stay tuned for more video content as we move through the rest of the year.

We are excited about the updates and enriching content we will provide in the months ahead, including a new series focusing on a popular topic: AI/ML.
