BREAKING: O’Reilly has just published a transformative new book titled The Rise of Logical Data Management, addressing urgent needs in data strategy amid the AI revolution. Released on October 14, 2025, this essential guide by Christopher Gardner is crucial for organizations striving to adapt in today’s complex data landscape.
In the heart of Palo Alto, California, Denodo, a leader in data management, champions this logical data management approach, which is integral to the Denodo Platform. Industry analysts from Gartner and GigaOm have long recognized its significance. Gardner’s book offers an independent perspective on how logical data management can deliver business benefits in the age of AI, emphasizing the need for organizations to evolve.
Why is this book crucial NOW? As businesses face mounting pressure to provide “AI-ready” data—governed, trusted, and secure—traditional physical data management methods are proving inadequate. Organizations relying on data lakehouses and warehouses are finding that these systems cannot meet the complex demands of AI and self-service data access. Logical data management fills this gap by ensuring data is ready for immediate action, streamlining user access, and enhancing overall operational efficiency.
Alberto Pan, Denodo’s Chief Technology Officer, stated, “Organizations waste valuable resources on unnecessary data movement and storage. Our logical-first approach opens new data access avenues for users and AI applications, validating the need for this latest publication.”
The book not only targets C-level executives but also highlights substantial business advantages, such as improving customer experiences and optimizing operations. Gardner illustrates how logical data management enhances performance and scalability through detailed, real-world examples.
“Researching this book was eye-opening,” Gardner remarked. “Logical data management simplifies access to crucial information across organizations, enabling a seamless transition to self-service and AI capabilities.”
Industry leaders are already praising the book’s insights. Kate Strachnyi, founder of DATAcated, emphasized its relevance, saying, “A logical data layer is akin to a library where knowledge is readily accessible without duplicating every resource. This is vital for effective data governance and AI scalability.”
Paul Weiskopf, an Advisory Board Member at Denodo, also commended the publication for detailing the evolving challenges in data management and how a strategic approach can yield greater value from data investments.
