Dresner Advisory Services, LLC, defines “Active Data Architecture™” as that which “supports a platform-independent layer that sits between physical data stores and points of data consumption.” In this way Active Data Architecture promises to overcome the challenges that many organizations have in maintaining the flexibility, adaptability, and scalability of their data infrastructures.
Annually, beginning in 2024, Dresner Advisory Services has been releasing detailed reports on how different vendors compare in demonstrating Active Data Architecture, and in both reports, Denodo was ranked in first place.
In August of 2025, Dominic Sartorio, VP of Marketing at Denodo, sat down with Michael Moran, research VP at Dresner Advisory Services, to talk about a range of topics, including the latest report, Denodo’s Active Data Architecture capabilities, and the Denodo Platform’s importance to AI and other important enterprise initiatives.
