URGENT UPDATE: O’Reilly Media has just published a groundbreaking book titled The Rise of Logical Data Management, aimed at revolutionizing how organizations manage data in the age of AI. Released on October 14, 2025, this essential guide, authored by business intelligence analyst Christopher Gardner, is already making waves in the tech community.
Why does this matter RIGHT NOW? As businesses grapple with the complexities of AI and data self-service, traditional data management systems are proving inadequate. Gardner’s book emphasizes the urgent need for logical data management, a strategy that offers a unified approach to security, access, and the integration of disparate data sources.
In his compelling narrative, Gardner explains that logical data management connects organizations’ existing data infrastructures, allowing for secure, real-time access to AI-ready data. “Logical data management,” he asserts, “is based on logical or virtual connections to data,” which is crucial for meeting the demanding requirements of today’s data landscape.
Organizations using only physical data management systems are struggling to keep up with the rapid pace of change. Traditional data lakehouses and warehouses alone cannot deliver the “AI-ready” data that companies need. Gardner’s approach introduces a universal semantic layer, transforming how data is accessed and utilized across the enterprise.
Alberto Pan, Chief Technical Officer at Denodo, reinforces this point: “Organizations waste time and resources managing persisted data unnecessarily. Our logical-first approach exposes new forms of data to multiple users and AI applications, supporting a vast range of real-time use cases.” This book not only validates Denodo’s approach but also serves as a critical resource for data leaders and technical stakeholders.
The book is written for a diverse audience, including C-level executives and business users, focusing on the substantial benefits of logical data management. It demonstrates how this strategy enhances customer experience and streamlines operations, providing detailed examples of performance improvements in complex environments.
The upcoming LinkedIn Live event on October 21 at 11:00 AM ET will feature Gardner alongside industry experts, including Pan and Ravi Shankar, discussing the insights from the book and the future of data management. This is an opportunity for professionals to engage directly with thought leaders in the field.
For those eager to learn more, Denodo is offering complimentary access to The Rise of Logical Data Management through their website, denodo.com. As businesses look to optimize their data strategies, this book is a timely and essential resource that promises to transform how organizations approach data management.
As the demand for enhanced data accessibility and governance intensifies, Denodo remains at the forefront of innovation in data management, already delivering AI-ready data solutions that outperform traditional platforms. The implications of this book extend beyond mere technical insights; it signifies a shift in how organizations can leverage their data for improved decision-making and operational excellence.
