Welcome to the Data Edge: a podcast series on data management, AI, and data quality. Facilities management and procurement run on data.

The Data Edge is the podcast for FM directors, heads of procurement, CFOs, asset managers who want to know what good data actually looks like. and what it unlocks. From invoice data and web quotes to comprehensive spend analysis, each episode covers the real work of turning raw procurement data into something you can actually act on — think data quality, AI readiness, and platforms like Microsoft Fabric doing what they're supposed to do. Host Stephanie Wiechers speaks with industry leaders across construction, infrastructure, and hard services about the data decisions that drive operational performance. Because better data isn't an IT problem. It's a competitive advantage. Hosted by Stephanie Wiechers, CEO
