It is never done - so celebrate!
A client of mine recently had their official "go-live" with their new AMS. On the day after go-live, my client said "I still have a whole list of things to do. We're not done at go-live, we're just getting started!"
And she's absolutely right! There is really no "done" when it comes to data management. There will always be data to clean up, processes to improve, and new tools to implement.
But that doesn't mean we shouldn't take time to celebrate. Just like we celebrate birthdays every year, we should celebrate important milestones in data management, like the go-live of a new system!
Yes, data management is never done! So let's celebrate!
