Time is the most democratic of all data sources — everyone gets it in the same increments. Second by second, minute by minute, reality unfolds, leaving behind a trail of information: a stock price changing, a heart beating, a sensor blinking, a shopper clicking “buy”. Each event on its own is nothing. But together, they form a rhythm; a pattern hidden in plain sight. And once you learn to read that rhythm, you can glimpse what’s next. Welcome to the Data Voyagers Podcast: Navigating the Stories Behind the Numbers. Presented by Igor Alcantara and Angelika Klidas, in today's episode we are venturing beyond the event horizon into the world of time series, where data isn’t just a collection of values but a story told through time itself.

Organizations all over the world spend millions deploying advanced analytics platforms, convinced that if they just bring in the right technology, transformation will naturally follow. But reality tells us something very different. The best dashboards, built on the most powerful tools, often end up sitting untouched. Expensive shelfware. Why? Because adoption—not access, not licenses, not the number of dashboards delivered—is the true leading indicator of success. Welcome to the Data Voyagers Podcast: Navigating the Stories Behind the Numbers. Presented by Igor Alcantara and Angelika Klidas, in today's episode we are going to talk about one of the most overlooked, yet most critical, factors in the success or failure of analytics initiatives: adoption.
