What Paramedic Ants teach us about data

Custom Software Solutions

If you haven’t seen the recent fascinating Guardian article on paramedic ants … it’s well worth a read.

“Injured ants call for help by sending out distress signals in the form of pheromones. When help arrives, the injured ants tuck in their legs so they can more easily be carried back to the nest”

The original The Guardian’s article is available here.

t’s an amazing insight into the value of existing resources – I can’t help thinking about businesses who give up the enormous value collected in the data over many years, and transition to new “off the shelf” solutions “naked” – because it all seems too hard or because of the mythology of “a clean start”.
